The Sunday Salon: The Show, The Holidays and some other stuff…

The Sunday Salon

This has been a gorgeous weekend yet I spent the entire weekend doing errands again. Sometimes, I think I have no life.

The final cast list for Alice was posted last week. The Boy got the part he wanted. Yay! The Girl, who got hit with stage fright didn’t, but she’s since recovered. She’s a bit more resilient when it comes to stuff like this.

Did you see the Sunday paper this morning? Lots of ads for Christmas layaways. I started my shopping a few weeks ago, but only because stuff was on sale. With it being 85 degrees here in So Cal, I am not feeling it yet. However, The Girl has her costume ready for Halloween but The Boy can’t figure out what he wants to be. I hate that most of these costumes are cheaply made yet incredibly expensive. I’d rather go to Disneyland than buy them, but you know how it is.

I’ve been reading a couple of books that are not working for me. Both have gotten a ton of praise. I won’t mention them here because I am still reading them and I am hoping they’ll become fascinating pretty soon but right now all I can think is Zzzzzzzz.

Since the weather is so nice, we are throwing some steaks on the grill and just relaxing. Seriously, it still feels like summer here! Hope your Sunday is wonderful!

The Sunday Salon: Short & Sweet

Sunday Salon

This past Friday we celebrated The Girl’s 8th birthday. All she wanted was for her friend to sleepover so I took the day off and we had a full day of fun. We saw Dolphin Tale, which was actually pretty good, went out to lunch and then came back home to more movies, more snacks (gosh these girls can eat!) and the Otter Pup behaved herself! I was worried because she’s been a little bit of a pill with little kids lately.

Saturday, when her friend went home, I collapsed on the couch and drank three cups of coffee. Whew! Then I made tacos and read The Map of Time. I am not that far into it yet, but H.G. Wells trying to save classic literature? Love the premise. We’ll see if it pans out.

Today, The Girl wants to pick-up her birthday cupcake from Barnes & Noble so that means bookstore browsing for me! I probably won’t buy anything because I am going to be getting The Marriage Plot & 1Q84 pretty soon, but who knows? It’s hard to leave a bookstore without a book. Nearly impossible for me.

Have a wonderful Sunday and for those of you who answered my question about reading…thanks so much for taking the time to post. So many wonderful responses. If you haven’t had a chance to respond, please do, but at least read the responses. They’ll make you feel good. I promise!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. It’s sunny and clear here and just gorgeous out. I couldn’t ask for a nicer day.
