a day of rest

Sunday is my day of rest. I usually dabble a little on the computer if I feel up to it, and maybe finish one or two items on my "to do" list… but for the most part, Sunday is a day for me. I am way behind on my site update and am too pooped to care today.

My day went a little something like this…. wake up, check emails, take a shower, go to breakfast with Josh (jalapeno bagel with cream cheese and a decaf soy latte from Starbucks), come home, work on a few to do list items, play outside with Hannah in the sun, take a few pictures with my new lens for the shop (and for this post), weed the garden, plant some bulbs (my first attempt at this, and I know I am a little late for my "climate zone"…), call and invite my sister and her hubby over for dinner, play on the computer some more…. eat some oreos… (and now here I am). :) It’s 3:30 and I still have a few hours of sunlight left.

It’s been a pretty boring day so far, but I am loving being able to relax and unwind. Although I am really sore from all the squatting in the garden (that’s how out of shape I am)….lol… pathetic, isn’t it?

I’m dying to get out and do some shopping, I am wanting to change my house a little for the new season…. but money is tight and with Josh’s birthday next week, I have to save all my pennies for his birthday dinner. (He wants to go to a French restaurant near us called "French 75"). I haven’t been before, so I’m looking forward to it. I did try escargot when I was in Paris on my honeymoon, and it was actually amazingly good (It was an appetizer they served cold with crackers and a spring mix with dressing of some sort…very fresh and light tasting. You really didn’t notice the snail texture when it was prepared and eaten this way). I don’t know if I would have been brave enough if it was just the snail on it’s own. Although I do like oysters, and I do chew them when I eat them, so maybe I would??? I also tried frog legs when I was in jr. high school. I was in the "French Club" and we went on a field trip to a French restaurant in Costa Mesa (yes, I was a nerd then too). 

I will be sure to report on the restaurant next week after we go. I am looking forward to trying something new. I hope they have chocolate souffle for dessert (that has been my favorite dessert lately, and I haven’t had it in awhile.)

I trust your Sunday is as lazy and uneventful as mine. Enjoy the day and put your "to do" lists on hold until tomorrow!
