Sunday Matters

The Teen is on a choir trip right now. He’s in New York City, living it up and having a great time. For a theater kid, this is heaven but since many of his choir friends are also in theatre, they are totally geeking out over the closeness of Broadway and how it’s literally right across the street from them.

Choir Trip 2016 - NYC

For the record, they did not see Hamilton although they really, really wanted to. Nope, they just wanted to hang out by the door. I can see these kids on Broadway some day. I mean, look at them. They looks like stars.

Right Now:

Have you heard of Bulletproof Coffee? It’s a brand but you make it with butter from grass-fed cows. I haven’t purchased the coffee yet but the butter thing intrigued me. By adding butter and blending with hot coffee, you end up with a creamy, frothy coffee which is supposed to be more filling and better for you. No added sweetener, either. I am hooked on it. That is what I am drinking right now as we get ready for church.

This Week:

Work. No news on the work front. Yes, my boss quit but everything is up in the air right now. Not sure what to think, do or feel. I am so dramatic.

On another note, the Teen returns Tuesday night and then we have a short road trip planned. I can’t wait.

Reading:

I am currently reading Tuesday Nights in 1980 but I am almost done. Next up, The Library at Mount Char, if my review copy comes in time, or Stewart O’Nan’s new one, City of Secrets.

Watching:

What else? The Walking Dead’s finale is tonight and I am going to need therapy after this one. It’s supposed to be super-intense and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is dreading the loss of a major character. I can’t take it. Not Glenn, and Not Daryl. Please.

Making:

Not a whole lot. Chicken with toasted walnuts over rice, tonight.

Grateful for:

These gorgeous days! Cool mornings, blue skies and sunny, warm afternoons.

Now it’s your turn. Tell me about your weekend.

Sunday Matters

This week. Done. It was crazy in a lot of ways. Mostly good. The middle-school ministry had a totally crazy Humans vs. Zombies Nerf gun war which involved donating food to the food pantry and fighting for your life to escape those crazy teens. Who doesn’t want to be a part of that?? Too. Much. Fun.

There were two people dressed in full make-up but the rest of us were zombies or humans depending on what happened to us in each round. We used bandannas and wrist bands to determine who was what and it was dark and well, just a lot of fun. SO much food was brought in because with food, you got ammo. Enough said.

Humans vs. Zombies

The Girl had her first track meet, the Teen had a Jazz/Pop concert and prom tickets were purchased! This senior stuff is getting real.

Right Now:

We almost skipped church. The kids were tired, there was the time change and all, but in the end we let them sleep in and The Hub and I enjoyed the service on our own.

I am about to take a short nap before going out later. Can’t wait for my head to hit that pillow.

This Week:

Same stuff as always (track practices, theater rehearsals) but one nice addition is a birthday dinner for a friend this Monday. This weekend, The Teen’s theater group has a big overnight competition. We probably won’t be able to attend due to work and The Girl’s track meet on Saturday but we wish the group well. I’m sure they’ll kill it.

Reading:

I am still working my way through Gold Fame Citrus. It’s pretty good but hints at terrible things so it’s not a book you fly through.

Watching:

I finished Mad Men. What a fabulous show. I am going to miss those characters.

The Walking Dead continues to be great. It’s just so watchable and I love talking with my friends about it.

Making:

Yesterday I ate a lot of cruddy stuff at the track meet. I mean, I packed the cooler with snacks but I ate way too much salt so I feel totally out of it today. For tonight, just a simple chicken and rice bowl, please.

Grateful for:

My comfortable bed, in which, I am about to collapse.

What did you do this weekend?

Chatting with friends about books and life…
