Lazy-ish Sunday

I'm doing a cookout tonight as a continuation of the world's longest Father's Day celebration.  Apparently, it's not Father's Day without me cooking and since I was flying home last Sunday and we had takeout -- it didn't count.  Also, next Saturday we are going to Top Golf as a FD gift from the youngest.  Never ending ...

I'm repeating a Pioneer Woman's meal.  Cowboy Chicken (marinated, grilled, bacon, cheese) and twice baked new potatoes (potato and cheese).  Adding a green salad and that's it.  What I like best about this meal is, it's mostly make ahead.  The problem is I forgot about how many steps in this "simple" meal.  It's prepped and ready today -- only the salad left to make.  Yesterday was another back-hurting day though.

I have to drive to mid-town Atlanta to do a home check and paperwork for a new foster this afternoon.  Hello, podcasts!  I'll be in the car for a little over 2 hours.

I also need to dust this morning -- never happened yesterday with everything else taking up the day.  We got a lot finished around the house though.  Dusting seemed least important (aka PROCRASTINATION).

Funny story -- Tuesday is my birthday.  I shouted loud and clear that TONIGHT'S dinner is NOT my celebration.  Why?  Because I'm doing the cooking.  I got a text last night from my hubby who meant to text my son.  "I know it's not mom's celebration, but I got her a cake."  Ummmm ... this does NOT count.  But, it's going to kind of count.  I think we are doing gifts and cake tonight.  Not cool.  Plus, it's a cake I can't eat without problems -- dang.  I asked if he got GF -- nope.  Plus it has a whipped cream icing.  (P.S.  I cooked for Mother's Day dinner too -- we went out for brunch, but dinner was on me.  Not starting this trend.)

Also of note, next Tuesday is hubby's birthday.  I'll be back on the big dinner cooking rotation without having ever gotten off.

Anyway, that's all on my calendar today.  It's going to feel relaxing.

I'm still figuring out the start day of the Whole30.  Wednesday has taken the lead so far.  I've thought about waiting until the Monday after July 4, but that seems too far with too many opportunities to do damage.  Cliff hanger -- haha.

Happy Sunday.  Later gators.
