Sunday with a little Fun?

I'm going to remember to take some pictures of my fun stuff for a post tomorrow ... I promise (!!)

Today is a little attempt at a return to a normal Sunday.  Kids are coming over again for another outdoor dinner.  It's going to be hot today, so outside might be a little less nice this weekend, but I'm not comfortable with inside yet.  Burgers, oven-baked potato "chips," broccoli and dessert.

I missed A Course in Miracles zoom class last week (didn't see the email until it was over).  I'm not sure if it's happening this week too -- no link sent, but I'll try the one from last week.  Fingers crossed.  It won't be the same, but it might be enough.

I made an Influencer's Italian Ricotta Strawberry cake for dessert today.  I'm not sure it turned out though -- seemed a little oily when I flipped it and my strawberries sank.  It's another single layered round cake with no icing -- very European.  The first BIG trip I'll take when this is over is back to Italy.  Not with the girls, but with hubby.  I'm in love with that country (and my hubby).  This Influencer is the lady who runs the week long Italy food tours.  She's an American married to an Italian with a grown daughter -- she's lived in Italy since college.

Now for a petty complaint.  Second time this week a social zoom call was cancelled at the last minute.  Zooming with hubby's bff and wife (we did it once before) ... set for 6 o'clock.  I didn't make backyard plans with my friend and her husband because we had the call scheduled.  All set up and 20 minutes before the call, she bailed -- her back hurt.  Hubby still had the zoom (he's under a happy star right now).  I understand canceling if you were planning to go out, but you couldn't say hello for a few minutes from your sofa?  Guess who also has a hurting back?  Zoom call rudeness is a thing in my life.  It's a virtual commitment, but it still counts as a commitment.  People are people, virtual or not -- and they bug me often LOL.  Okay, complaint over ;)

I'm slowly getting up from my low blahs.  I'll chat more about that this week -- I think it'll be a full post because I have lots of thought swirling.  Food and mood?  Maybe.  Focus and perspective?  Maybe.  Connection and community?  Maybe.  Goals and productivity?  Maybe.  Fun and laughter?  Maybe.  (Is this list style annoying -- probably!!)

Hope you have a great Sunday that lifts you up and makes you smile.  Stay well.  Later gators.
