Sunday Matters

It was The Hub’s birthday yesterday. We had a full day of JV finals (track) and The Teen had his SAT test so we couldn’t celebrate the way we wanted to, but it was still a nice day. We had super weather and enjoyed a yummy lunch. I think he was happy. LOOK at that food! I didn’t even capture the meat on that platter!

As for the track meet, The Girl got a medal for relay but she didn’t want to stay for the 100m results. We’ll find out the results later. That’s it! The season is over. I’m a little sad about it. The team party is later this month. Should be fun.

Right Now:

What would I do without my Sunday coffee? I drink coffee all the time but there is something special about that first cup on Sunday morning. Don’t you agree?

In a little bit, we will go to church and then later I get to go back to interview/discuss the volunteer position. In between, there will be a few hours to take care of stuff around the house.

This Week:

No more track practice so the evenings should be a little calmer. Well, except for The Teen. It’s production week for him so one more crazy week & weekend and then he can take a breather. I have some news in regards to his performance but he said I cannot talk about it yet!

Reading:

I finished The Children’s Crusade. My review posts on Tuesday. Reading Waiting for Snow in Havana for book club this Thursday. I need to pick up the pace. I am really behind with that one.

Watching:

Got to catch-up with Bates Motel. I missed it last Monday. Still enjoying Mad Men. We picked up The Empire Strikes Back for The Girl but never got to watch it.

Making:

I am trying to make better choices with food but I am not doing so well and I just started. I think today we will do something simple but not sure what. Maybe a chicken stir-fry.

Grateful for:

Guess what? The Girl made choir! I was so very happy to get that email. She is thrilled. I am grateful that she was chosen. I think it’s so important for kids entering middle school to be a part of something early on.

That’s it for me. What’s going on in your world today?

The deed is done! The new template is in place. I hope you like it. It’s weird that the template didn’t include a home button, so I made one for the side bar. I know most people know to click on the header to return to home, but not everyone so I threw one together.

My focus was readability. With all of my eye issues I’ve been especially bothered by fonts that are hard to read. I believe these work well.

I think everything is working. If not, let me know in comments.

By the way, if you’ve been thinking of changing your own template, it was very easy to do in WordPress and they have so many neat themes to choose from. This one (Twenty Fourteen) was free and all I really did was create a custom header and some social media buttons to personalize it.
