The Sunday Salon: A Halloween Hello

16 Comments

Owl Babies

Happy Halloween!

This weekend has been a busy one.

Friday, was Fall Family Night st The Girl’s school. I am on PTO so I had to work the event. Actually, we ALL ended up working the event as it was a huge success  with quite a few families in attendance. Each class decorated a pumpkin based on a children’s book. The Girl’s class did Owl Babies. Have you ever seen cuter pumpkins?

In between all the prep for tonight,  I making chili, cornbread and cupcakes and trying to get the house squared away for guests. I am also trying to finish up Middlesex (for class) and also trying to read my book club book for Thursday’s meeting.

In between all of it I am also watching scary movies. I think I’ve lost my mind!

Happy Halloween!!

The Sunday Salon: A Lazy, Rainy, Glorious Day

I normally wake at 4:30am so imagine my surprise when I stumbled out of bed and saw that most of the morning was gone. It was 9am! My internal clock was completely thrown off because it was so rainy and cloudy out. It felt really nice to get some extra sleep but I’ve sort of been dragging all day because of it.

Luckily, we didn’t have any big plans today.

I went to the mall and bought some Christmas presents.

I went to Target and roamed around aimlessly.

Came home and took a short nap. Yes! Even after waking up so late.

I started Kings of the Earth, for real because I had planned to start it last week and didn’t.

I also started In Defense of Food but it’s a bit too “angry” for me at the moment.

I made soup with all of the fresh veggies I picked up.

Now I plan to make some coffee and catch-up with all of you. It’s supposed to rain for the next three days. The Girl is hoping it won’t since she has a walking field-trip that she is really looking forward to, but I LOVE a nice, steady rain.

So what have you all been doing today?
