Sunday, blissful Sunday! It is gloriously rainy and cloudy here today, a welcome sight after such a long drought. We went to church yesterday since this wasn’t a serving weekend, which left us a long slightly chilly morning to enjoy by sleeping in.
Brian and I have both had hard-hitting, very long weeks. My schedule has been filled with conference preparation – both for C3 on our FC campus (Jan 25-27) and then a conference in Boston the very next week. Lots of last-minute deadlines, proofing, promoting, coordinating, gentle and not-so-gentle persuasion towards other departments and suppliers, and the requisite amounts of oops, followed by we’ll-do-this-different-next-times. Brian’s plate has been very full with the normal workload, plus preparing to launch a new site, plus writing a book. Add to that a last-minute visit from my dad on Friday night (cancelled flight = Dallas layover) at the same time that Ben was having a sleepover. By yesterday evening, I was all done!
My relaxing regime began after church when we ate pizza while watching Kicking and Screaming (frivolously fun). After Ben got tucked in, I spent the rest of the evening looking through scrapbook magazines. This morning was filled with coffee, reading with Ben, pumpkin bread, Sudoku (my latest favorite 15-minute indulgence) and reading the Weekend Journal with Brian. Then it was time for some pampering and a long, lazy shower. I am now polished, waxed, scrubbed, and lotioned to a baby-smooth state! This afternoon’s schedule includes blogging, reading, tea, chatting on the phone with my mom, listening to Ben practice piano and a bit of laundry, list-making and organizing for good measure. Brian, who has got to be one of the hardest-working people I know, is up at church while he and his team work on the site. As the weekend winds down, we’ll watch West Wing together and possibly enjoy some Asian takeout. And then, ready or not (but hopefully ready after a day like today), here comes Monday!
