Sunday Matters

As of this morning, The Music Man is done. We battled illness during its run but The Girl did well even though she wasn’t feeling good for most of it.

Right Now:

I am lounging people. LOUNGING. It’s Super Bowl Sunday and even though I have zero interest in the teams that are playing, I love all the other stuff that goes with it. Plus, I have the night off from student ministry which makes it pretty nice.

Some have asked for an update so here you go. My son is good. He’s putting his hours in and exploring Disney World during his off hours. He’s making new friends and he seems to be eating okay. So far, so good.

This Week:

Nothing out of the ordinary this week. Same old stuff. The weather has been unseasonably warm. I mean, it really feels like spring. It’s kind of nice. It makes me think of summer reading.

Reading:

Speaking of reading. I am reading Nomadland for a non-fiction club. The idea of living modestly is appealing to me. I know some people are forced to live in vans or RVs because they can’t make rent but some people do it by choice, refusing to work themselves to death just to live in traditional housing. I’ve read articles where young people are living this way so they can go to where the work is. Interesting.

I have some review books to get to but I am looking for something really juicy to read. Not juicy like a bodice ripper but a good, psychological thriller would be great. Any suggestions?

Watching:

I keep talking about all these shows I want to watch and it never happens. When I have down time, I am either reading or just hanging on the couch staring off into space.

Making:

Nothing fancy. I tried cauliflower pizza the other day. Interesting texture. Of course, today is a big food day with the Super Bowl and all. We have been invited to a friend’s house to watch the game and with me being gluten-free and my daughter being a vegetarian, we will be bringing some things to the party as well. Plus, they have a new puppy. Enough said.

By the way, The Girl wants mozzarella sticks:

Grateful for:

People with a sense of humor. Gosh, I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh too. I am grateful for all the people who make me laugh.

So, do you have a juicy reading recommendation for me? The kind of book that makes you forget to eat? I want one of those.

Sunday Matters

This week was a little strange. The Boy is in Orlando now. He’s all settled in and good. The Girl snapped up the bathroom he had in no time at all. I think he was still in the air when she did it. What’s funny is that they were always supposed to share the bathroom but you know, boy/girl issues so instead all her stuff was in my bathroom. Needless to say, my sink is looking so clean now.

I will also include that after a rough start to the year, things are looking up. Last Friday while driving to work, this feeling of “calm” came over me. I don’t experience moments like that often. I am too much of a worrier so when it happened I sat up and took notice. It felt wonderful.

Right Now:

The Music Man is in full swing. The Girl has a show this afternoon but I am not working it. We saw the show yesterday and it was good. Might have to watch the church service online today. Can’t find a way to go to church, get her fed, drop her off, etc. Oh, and I just remembered that I have training to go to this morning. Drats.

This Week:

Show stuff. Volleyball. Life group. A doctor’s appointment. Not terribly exciting. The show wraps before the Super Bowl so that’s good! We used to have shows ON Super Bowl Sunday and it was always hard to fill the house when that happened. Plus, no nachos.

Reading:

I am reading my book club’s pick for this month, The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood. It’s a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I am usually a two-timer with reading but with production week one book at a time is enough for me.

My book club chose our books for the year. Actually, the list goes into 2019 a bit but here is the list in case you’re interested. For bonus points, tell me which ones are mine. Hint, there are three.

Watching:

I saw a clip of The Office at a training I attended recently and now I have it in my head that I must binge watch all seasons ASAP. This was the clip in case you’re interested.

Making:

Production week, so…

Grateful for:

I am grateful for fun people backstage. When you work backstage, it’s all about who you work with and I’ve been lucky enough to work with a really great group backstage. Oh, the stories!

What are your must-reads for this month? Anything I need to know about and drop everything for?

Chatting with friends about books and life…
