The Sunday Salon: Father’s Day 2011

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there. Today we are spending a relaxing afternoon at home. I picked up some steaks and lobsters for the grill and we just finished watching Winter’s Bone (which I’ve had from Netflix for 3 months). It was very good. It always amazes me how long I sit on a DVD from Netflix before I actually watch it. It’s just hard to work a non-kid movie into the mix. The timing has to be right, etc.

I know it’s Father’s Day weekend but my Blackberry was dying a slow death, so I ended up getting a new phone. Yeah, I know. It’s HIS day yet I end up with a new gadget.

So this is my new phone…the Droid Pro. It’s a touchscreen AND has a Qwerty keyboard. The perfect transition for this Blackberry user. I really liked my old Blackberry, but the new operating system leaves a lot to be desired. So far, I am loving my Droid Pro. If the iPhone had a keyboard like this, I’d go with an iPhone as I love Apple products but this has both the keyboard AND the virtual keyboard in landscape. Perfect.

The rest of the weekend is kind of all over the place. I trimmed The Boy’s hair, washed the dog, did a bunch of laundry, went shopping for the week and now I am just worn out. Hoping to unwind a bit over dinner.

If I get a chance to sit down, I plan to continue with The House of Tomorrow. I’m liking it so far, but I did what I can never do. I put it down for too long and now I don’t feel like reading it again. Does that ever happen to you? It has nothing to do with the book, it’s just the time away from it. I just can’t set a book aside for too long.

Anyway, Happy Father’s Day! Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

The Sunday Salon: Where did the weekend go?

Sunday Salon

I’m not sure what happened but the weekend came and went and I didn’t really get to enjoy it. That’s what I get for booking a dental appointment for Saturday. After that, I spent the rest of the day running errands and Sunday was more of the same. You know how it goes.

At around 2pm today The Hub took The Girl to visit his brother just so I could finish Ordinary Thunderstorms for a book tour on Tuesday. I did manage to finish the book but man, did I have a headache afterward. Not because of the book, but because of an ear ache that came out of nowhere. It’s gone now. Not sure what was going on with that.

Oh, and the weather… what is up with the weather? It rained this morning and it was cold and windy and then the sun came out later this afternoon. Such strange weather for May. I like for it to be cooler, but it doesn’t feel like the end of the school year when the weather is like this. Of course, I will be complaining about the 100+ heat when it hits so I guess I should be glad that it’s cool now.

Well, The Girl is in bed and The Boy is about to hit the sack so that means it’s almost reading time for me. I started The Wikkeling (very strange) and I may start The Violets of March. Really, this is very ambitious of me because I feel as if I could crash right now. Could be due to the delicious Mexican hot chocolate I just downed.

Hope you had a good weekend.
