This past week was good. It ended with a day off from work and a leadership retreat on Friday and Saturday. It’s hard to remove myself from the house when there is so much to do but it’s also good to get away every now and then.

Right Now:

I’m trying to talk myself out of going to breakfast. Mostly because it always involves bacon and hash browns which are a dangerous combination for me. No, I’d much rather have the twigs and berries I have in the fridge (sarcasm).

This Week:

I am taking a few days off this week so I can spend it with the kids. It’s spring break y’all! The Hub has to work which is a major downer but the three of us will take a few days to rest and enjoy whatever my daughter has planned for us. Later this week, my son heads to Palm Springs to finish out his break. Then, on Thursday I’ll be at work but will attend a special lunch in honor of my friend’s father who passed away recently.

Reading:

It just occurred to me that I need to re-read my book club book, The Things They Carried. I read it a long time ago but don’t remember a thing. We meet to discuss it this Thursday so I better get on it.

Watching:

This Sunday is the finale of The Walking Dead and it better be good!

Bates Motel is beyond great! Last Monday’s episode was absolutely crazy. I had to talk it through with another blogger because it really messed with my mind.

Making:

I didn’t make much this past week. My evenings were too busy. I did manage to make a Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Penne dish which fed us for two days. With this weekend’s retreat and me being busy most of today, I am thinking take-out is on the menu.

Grateful for:

My First 5 app. It’s a daily Bible reading plan but man I am loving it. I find that more often than not, the reading for that day applies to what I am experiencing or about to experience. It’s crazy how it works out that way.

What are you up to? Is anyone local going to The L.A. Times Festival of Books in April? I’m not sure I can make it right now.
