Sunday Matters: Three Days for the Weekend Would Be Ideal

18 Comments

I’ve always said that three days would make for an excellent weekend. You’d have a day for errands, a day for fun, and a day to relax. Perfect, right? We’ve been a little short on the “fun” day because it ends up being an errand or cleaning day. I do not mind cleaning. In fact I love to clean and organize before relaxing. Errands, I do not care for. And soon I need to buy some clothes. I really detest clothes shopping but yoga pants cannot be worn for every occasion, contrary to popular belief.

Right Now:

No student ministry today since they are on spring break. I hope they all have a fabulous break. I miss their smiling faces. I am working on a little project related to student ministry though so I will dedicate some time today for that.

Reading:

I finished Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love. It was a lot of fun to read about his favorite t-shirts. Seems like an odd topic but in his hands it’s always interesting. My review should be up soon. My review of The School for Good Mothers posted last Friday so stop by if you missed it.

I am about to finish Greenwich Park. My next read is Nan Rossiter’s new one, A Good Measure. It comes out April 12th and Nan has offered me a copy to giveaway so look for that review soon.

A Good Measure

Watching:

We started Ozark. It’s dark and intense. It’s reminding me a lot of Breaking Bad which was one of my favorite shows ever.

Grateful for:

  • New opportunities that challenge me.
  • Trash pick-up. It’s ridiculous the amount of trash just the three of us generate. I’ve been going through closets and drawers and tossing stuff left and right. It feels good.
  • Someone at church recommended a new band to me, Joseph. They are amazing if you want to give them a listen. It’s not worship music but they are vibey and just good.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! I cannot believe we are in April! Do you prepare an Easter dinner? I normally do but these two here just want to go to Cracker Barrel. Ha.

Sunday Matters: It’s All Pretty Good

Sunday Matters

I’ve been feeling a little “meh” but I really can’t complain. Everything is pretty good. Just trying to get my walks in and get my nutrition back on track. Spring and Fall are my favorite times to get outside. The pup has a a blown muscle in her leg. I swear, she cannot be more like me as far as injuries and ailments go so we are taking short walks and helping her jump up when needed.

It’s cute how the pup and cat care for each other. The other day Root Beer started to sing. SING. So weird and then tossed her cookies. The pup was very concerned. They take turns fussing over each other.

Right Now:

I am about to head out the door to church. This is the last time J High and High School will meet until 4/24. It will be spring break for the school districts here and then Easter festivities so the break will be nice. When I get home around 1:30pm, we will grab a late lunch and then maybe a nap, maybe a few chapters on the couch.

Reading:

I am reading Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love. Murakami is known for collecting things, mostly his numerous records but he also collects T-shirts that mean something to him. This is a collection of essays, if you will, about his favorite shirts! It’s fun and different. I am enjoying these short pieces.

Watching:

I can’t find anything for us all to watch. Yet.

Grateful for:

  • My son’s part time gig at the local performing arts center. Something to do while continuing to look for full-time opportunities. As Martha Stewart would say, it’s a good thing.
  • Early morning reflection time.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! We are due for some real rain tomorrow (so they say). We could really use it.
