Sunday Matters

I survived my first week back at work. I was a prepping queen and spent every evening prepping for the next day but it paid off. No frazzled mornings. Also, you will all be proud of me but I went to bed early nearly every single night. I know. What? ME! Check my temperature.

Right Now:

I am just kicking back, checking out the morning happenings with my coffee in hand. In a little bit we will hit church and then I will go back for the middle-school ministry. Sundays can be full but it’s a “good” full. Know what I mean?

This Week:

I love that we have the day off on Monday. My husband has to work though which is a drag and I think The Girl still has rehearsal. I should confirm that.

Other than that, I think The Girl has some informal track practices and I have our yearly book selection meeting for book club. Work is ramping up because the semester starts soon but spring is so much easier than fall. Usually. Hoping for a good week.

Reading:

I just finished The Invaders by Karolina Waclawiak. At first, I loved it, then I didn’t like it, then I loved it again , You will have to wait for the review to hear how I feel about it now. It’s not often that I go back and forth like that with a book.

Watching:

Not much. I did manage to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and I just bought a copy of Working Girl but what I’d like to see is The Martian on demand. Not sure I’ll have time for it today.

Making:

Wings! I made wings again. Very tasty. Also made turkey tacos with lots of cheese and hot sauce and guacamole too, which makes everything better.

One day this week we’ll have breakfast for dinner and another night, my gluten-free version of Hamburger Mac. The rest is up in the air.

Grateful for:

Friends. Some of you know me so well and know when I need a kind word. Thank you.

That’s it from me. What are you up to?

Sunday Matters

I had all these things to say and then my phone went kaput while at church. I am not all that attached to my phone. In fact, I hate the darn thing but when it doesn’t work and forces you to go to the Verizon store, which is just like walking onto a car lot these days, you get a little cranky. Not the way I wanted to spend my last day before work.

But, I had small group ministry tonight and now I feel so much better. My replacement phone (thank goodness for insurance) should be here by Tuesday but I lost all my photos from the past few months. Which makes me a little sad.

On another note, I did find a word for my #OneWord resolution but I’ve no time to tell you about it! I promise to write it up this week.

Right Now:

I am currently prepping for my return to work and their return to school and trying to get dinner on the table.

This Week:

I am just focusing on getting through the week. I have one small appointment and there is always rehearsal but as far as personal appointments go, it should be a slow week.

Reading:

Oh my goodness!! I am almost done with Joyce Maynard’s new book, Under the Influence, which comes out in February. It’s SO good.

Watching:

We watched Guardians of the Galaxy again the other night and we introduced The Girl to The Goodbye Girl. She loved it!

Making:

I am making spaghetti for dinner but earlier in the day, I made up my lunches for the week, brown rice, grilled chicken breast and green beans.

Grateful for:

Quiet time. I don’t get too much of it on a regular basis but when I do get it, I am just so grateful for it.

Chatting with friends about books and life…
