Whatnot – 07/13/22

Root Beer in her stroller.It’s been a minute since giving you a Root Beer update so here she is in all her glory. Every day my son takes her for a stroll around Everett, WA. They particularly like the waterfront and since it doesn’t get dark until nearly 9pm they have plenty of time to roam the neighborhood and that is what they do. 

It dawned on me what I have not been to the beach once this summer. Not yet. My husband doesn’t really enjoy it and gets bored easily. I could lie there all day watching the people go by, reading chapters here and there and munching on Pringles. He has an outreach committment this Saturday and I may just go by myself or see if the Girl isn’t working so she can tag along.

I am still reading Beartown. I should have finished it this past weekend but a long afternoon nap interfered with those plans and I was A okay with it.

I finally reviewed It All Comes Down to This if you’re interested.

We have a house guest arriving Thursday so I shall take some time to tidy up. The house was absolutely wrecked when I got back from camp. I’ve never seen so much junk mail all over the house! Piles everywhere depending on who got the mail that day. I need to take some time to put things back in order.

Have a great week and tell me what you are planning for the weekend. If I can sneak away to the beach I think I will.

Sunday Matters: I’m Back

After my week at camp,  I was exhausted and just lost track of time. Didn’t mean to take a break but that’s what I ended up doing. The week went very well. I love those students and leaders so much. Now I am fully rested and ready to catch-up on reading and everything else. How have you been? Have I missed any big news?

Right Now:

In a minute I’ll be at student ministry. Gotta grab one more cup of coffee.

Reading:

I finished It All Comes Down To This by Therese Anne Fowler but totally forgot the ending so had to read the last few pages again. I need to write the review but this one will be tricky to write.

It All Comes Down to This

I am about halfway through with Beartown. Yes! I am finally reading it. I wasn’t too jazzed about it because I am not into hockey but it’s not at all what I expected. I should be done with it this weekend.

Watching:

We started a Korean show called Sweet Home. It’s very weird and borders on hokey. The CGI is not the greatest. It’s a pandemic where people turn into horrible monsters but many different types of monsters. Right now at three episodes in I am not sure where the story can go. It seems like a lot of carnage with no way out of it.

Grateful for:

  • Great books on my “to be read” shelf. I am at no shortage of good books this summer.
  • DIY hair color. I became a pro at it during the pandemic when my stylist closed up shop without warning. It’s easy, cheap and makes me look ten years younger.

Have a wonderful Sunday! My daughter is still home and has a friend visiting this week. I did buy her plane ticket back so she will be back in Missouri 8/6. Also, I go back to work two days a week beginning 8/9!
