Sunday Matters: A Little Rest

25 Comments

Sunday Matters

This will be brief because with the long weekend and all, I am going to take a break and do nothing. Plus, I tacked on a few extra days to celebrate my birthday! It’s a milestone birthday for me and I am all over the place with how I feel about it. It’s not until Wednesday but it’s looming.

Right Now:

I plan to eat a huge breakfast, drink tons of coffee and read.

This Week:

Back to school night is this week. It’s high school and many parents don’t go  but The Girl’s choir performs and I like to meet the teachers to get a sense for what will be expected throughout the year. Personality tells you a lot.

There is also one volleyball game and book club and I still haven’t read the book.

Reading:

I guess I will be reading my book club book. Exit West.

Watching:

When I have time to watch TV I usually tune in to home improvement shows like Fixer Upper. I also like shows about purchasing beach front properties. Cooking shows are a comfort to me but are there any good ones anymore?

Making:

Don’t plan to make a thing. However, somewhere in the plan there needs to be a really good burger.

Grateful for:

Long weekends and extra days off.

What do you have planned for today or tomorrow, if you are lucky enough to have it off?

Sunday Matters: Good Intentions

Sunday Matters

This entire week got away from me. Without going into a lot of boring details, everything hit me at once, both personally and professionally. No time for anything. I hope to get back on track this week.

Right Now:

Sundays have become busy days. I need to restructure how I do my Sundays because isn’t it supposed to be a day of rest? I can’t do much about today but I am going to plan ahead for next week to see what I can carve out in order to make my Sundays a little easier.

This Week:

I work for a university and classes started yesterday, so this week will be hectic but I do love the whole back-to-school vibe. It will take a few weeks for things to settle down.

There is only one volleyball game this week, a night out with my lady friends and a much-needed hair appointment. My hair looks like an unloved Chia Pet.

Reading:

I finished two books. One I should have reviewed this week but yeah, that didn’t happen. I hope to have it written up and posted next week.

The other book I finished was Her Pretty Face. Impossible to put down.

About to start Exit West for book club.

Watching:

Someone suggested I watch the show Botched. Good Lord. What have I gotten myself into?

Making:

I haven’t made anything really good lately but then again, I haven’t had the time to. It’s still warm here but the mornings are cool which makes me think of stew, the kind that simmers all day long.

I am also craving seafood in a big way. I could eat seafood every day, all week long. I keep seeing posts about Low Country Boils. They look easy enough but I am worried about botching it up.

Grateful for:

I am grateful for technology. With all the craziness this week I tuned in to a She Speaks talk via my car’s Bluetooth and listened to a little bit each day on my way to work. Bliss.

What’s going on this week? Have you picked up any new fall decor? I have. And Anthropologie came out with their fall candles and I am dying for one.
