What's up Wednesday

Linking up with ShaySheaffer and Mel for What's up Wednesday today.


What we're eating this week...
Monday - Rotisserie chicken, green beans, roasted potatoes 
Tuesday - Butternut Squash and Sausage Pasta
Wednesday - Marinated chicken, vegetables
Thursday to Saturday - not sure yet, being away on the weekend threw off my menu planning

What I'm reminiscing about...
My trip to New York! It was so nice to be away and exploring new places and eating yummy food.

What I'm loving...
The fall colours are making their way out.  I love seeing the pretty reds and yellows while I drive back and forth to work.  

What we've been up to...
September was a blur of getting back into a school and work routine and taking a few weekend trips. Staying afloat has been our main goal ;)


What I'm dreading...
Darker mornings and evenings.  I find it so easy to get up early and get stuff done in the daylight.  When it is dark, I just want to hibernate.

What I'm working on...
Getting ready for Q's birthday party on the weekend.  It's not complicated but I need to make a cake, pick up a few decorations, and prepare some food.  

What I'm excited about...
Our backyard has been undergoing some landscaping over the past couple of weeks.  It is close to being completed and it will be so nice to have some grass back there. 

What I'm watching/reading...
I have recorded Alias Grace and This Is Us to watch sometime this week.  We have a couple of episodes of Narcos left, and then we will start Ozark and House of Cards.


I'm reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.  It is in my top five favourite books of all time and I am enjoying reading it again.
(I'm slow, I've made only a little progress since our camping trip)

What I'm listening to...
A lot of opinions on the whole "Take a knee" stance.  Most of the people I follow on Twitter are either politically minded or from the sports world.  I like to listen to various points of view so I can be informed and then I try to be more eloquent in my own opinion.  


What I'm wearing...
Still wearing my summer clothes! We have had very hot weather this week so the shorts, tank tops, and sandals are still in rotation.  I'm sure we will be wearing jeans and sweaters soon enough.

What I'm doing this weekend...
On Friday night Dave and I are going to see the comedian Mike Birbiglia at the Sony Centre, Q's birthday party is on Saturday morning, and on Sunday we are going to relax!

What I'm looking forward to next month...
E's first track meet for the cross country team (the grade 1's run a 1K), Thanksgiving, E's birthday, and Halloween!
(from the Ottawa 2K in May)


What else is new...
We're switching our family doctor.  The one we've had for years was near my office but it wasn't convenient for Dave and the kids to get to.  This new one is very close to our house so it will be a lot more convenient going forward.

What TV show are you most excited about this fall?
This is Us
