Life on My Sofa

Do you say couch or sofa?  I use both.  Gets me thinking of regional words.

Lunch meat or deli meat or cold cuts.
Supper or dinner.
Vacuum or sweeper.
Soda or pop or cola.

That's all I can think of this morning - I swear there are more :-)

I spent a lot of time on my sofa yesterday afternoon trying to recoup.  Here's the lowdown on what I watched.

Because I Said So:  On Prime from 2007 (I think).  It's cute-ish for a romcom, but also a little strange.  Lots of weird sex talks added at seemingly random times.  Good cast and good for a sofa plunge yesterday.

Mozart in the Jungle:  Prime (or maybe Netflix).  It's a series behind the scenes of the symphony world.  Halfway into one episode and lost interest.  Maybe I'll try it again -- lots of people love it.

Second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:  Prime.  I had a hard time getting into the second season.  I watched 2 episodes and I'm back into it.  I love fast talking and it's still funny.  Oh, the dresses -- to live back when fashion was so cool.  Makes me want to grab my vintage clutch from Esty and go out.

Sister Wives:  DO NOT JUDGE!!!  Hahahaha!!  I've watched this show since the start.  Initially out of curiosity and now because I'm hooked.  My (real) sister watches too and we chat about it every week.  Lots of their kids are getting married now and both me and my sister have our eldest getting married.  It's fun to watch.  P.S.  We like this family a lot -- no judgement, just fascination.  (See, my life is more than personal development lol.)

Call the Midwife:  I finished the final episode to date.  It's 7 seasons so it lasted awhile.  It's fantastic! Lots of new characters in and out each season.  Usually that bugs me, but it works so well in this series.  Also makes me crave simpler times.  I think lots of people feel that way lately.

Today is Rachel Hollis coaching (late afternoon - 2 hours).  Perspective.  I'm looking forward to it.

I'm dumping some of the Gretchen Rubin program.  The network is not for me.  Our small group is no longer small and (again) people are doing BIG, HUGE goals.  Nothing little, fun or easy.  And, on a side note, declaring big goals and no one is actually achieving them.  It's a chat thread of one excuse after another -- the energy of the posts is a complete downer.  I'll still check out her monthly materials and video chats.  Glad it was only $10/month.  Guess everything can't be a home-run.

On the RH front -- Darcie suggested matching t-shirts for the conference.  Yep.  I love a matching shirt.  I miss the days of being able to dress the family in homemade tie dye for vacation.  Etsy has tons of options and we can always make our own (through Etsy -- not me actually making it!!!).

Also on RH front -- some book stores put her new book on sale a month early.  Darcie found them and is sending me a copy.  Yea!

Remember that I mentioned Jen Hatmaker was coming to Atlanta (twice actually)? I couldn't decide about signing up when I was sick -- everything seemed overwhelming?  My bff texted last night and asked if I wanted to go.  I don't know if tickets are still available.  Waiting to hear her thoughts on location.  JH is in Austin, TX too and that's where my bff's sister lives.

No question I'm on the mend, but I still feel like I'm under a rock.  Everything feels like effort and tires me out the minute I do it.  I'll keep plugging along and hopefully feel myself again soon.

I'm planning on going to the gym for an elliptical workout (didn't end up going yesterday).  I'm going later this morning if I feel better.  If I don't, then I'm long walking Duke and calling it a day (if the rain stops).  Lots of "ifs."

Later gators.
