Sunday Matters

This past week has been pretty good. We had one heck of a rain storm on Tuesday complete with thunder and lightning . If only California had a way to capture all that water. Come summer all that green will be brown and ready for wildfire season. I dread it.

Right Now:

I went to church on Thursday so my morning is wide open. I have a work conference on Monday and Tuesday so in a little while I will probably pack my bag for that.

This Week:

Monday and Tuesday I will be at an Assistive Technology Conference. Tuesday night I have my life group but I don’t think I will make it back in time. I also have to miss outreach. Other than that, the week is pretty normal.

Reading:

I am reading White Elephant by Julie Langsdorf. So far, so good.

I’m hearing more and more about Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I don’t know, it just sounds like my jam. Maybe I should buy it for my trip.

Watching:

We are back to watching The Haunting of Hill House. I’m not sure how many episodes we have left but we are about seven episodes in. That Bent Neck Lady. Ohhhhh she is a baddie. I am at the point where I know who she is but still.

We finally watched Book Club last week. I love Diane Keaton. I love Candice Bergen. I actually love all of the ladies in this movie. It has Andy Garcia too. Um, hello! It was light and funny and sweet.

New Things I’ve Tried:

I feel dumb. I’ve had weird eyebrows for a while now. With the low iron and well, AGE, my eyebrows were so sparse. PLUS, what the hell? Gray hairs in your eyebrows? Was not prepared for that. That made me look like an albino rat. Anyway, I tried a brow pencil for the first time this week and now I look so awake. My daughter uses one all the time, even with her lush brows but I caved and bought a cheap one thinking I’d try it and now I see why people use them.

Grateful for:

The people I volunteer with. All of them. Serving is rewarding but it is also fun when you have good, fun people around you.

If you could volunteer anywhere, where would it be? I took a spiritual gifts quiz and it said that I have gifts in all areas which means I try a lot of different things. It also means, I’m busy.

Sunday Matters

It is truly amazing how quickly a week goes by. Even with all my grumbling, the minutes fly by and before I know it, it’s time to begin the week again. In the lunch room the other day we laughed and laughed because Christmas is just around the corner.

Yep.

Right Now:

Not much going on this morning. There are little things here and there that I need to take care of but they’ll get done. I just want to sit for awhile.

This Week:

I have all the normal stuff this week plus a couple of choir concerts to attend. Usually if your kid has a solo you go to the one in which she has a solo but guess what? The teacher gave her more than one and each on different nights so we get to see the show TWICE. Crafty of her, huh?

Reading:

I am ready to select my next book but I am having a little trouble deciding what it should be.

There are my “need to reads” and my “want to reads” and although some are on both lists, I still can’t decide. I am in a mood.

Maybe this one, White Elephant by Julie Langsdorf. Suburbia is an obsession of mine.

Watching:

Dr. Pimple Popper continues to fascinate. It’s the backstory of each patient that pulls me in, not necessarily what she does to them.

I received Crazy Rich Asians from Netflix the other day and hope to watch it very soon.

New Things I’ve Tried:

I spend a lot of time at Trader Joe’s so many of my “new” things come from there but this is not a sponsored post by any means.

I always need quick and easy dinner ideas so lately I’ve been hanging out in the cold case where all the pre-cooked meal stuff is. We tried this the other night and just had it with brown rice tortillas. I heated it in a cast iron skillet to caramelize the veggies but you could even heat it in the microwave if you had to. It made for a tasty, healthy meal.

Grateful for:

That I was able to rest a little this weekend.

Random thought: I think I mentioned before how much I love scents (perfumes, candles, etc.) but only high quality ones. A bomb of Bath and Body Works anything doesn’t do it for me. What is your absolute fave scent for spring? Perfume, cologne, flower. What? I am on the lookout for a new perfume.
