Slow Sundays

It's another slow Sunday.  Literally slow.  I did very little all day.  I was out late last night because it was book group night.  We read The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle.  No one really liked it but I have to say that I thought it was a worthwhile read.  It was just super depressing.   It focused on a family in California and a family from Mexico who crossed the border and were just trying to survive.  Really a contrast in lives and how quickly a prejudice can form.  It was hard to read with all of the depressing news in the world these days and with the non-stop rain.  I made Margaritas which were fabulous!  I got the recipe from Martha Stewart because I heard Oprah say that Martha made the best margaritas.  I also made Tortilla soup.  First time to make it and it was really easy and good.  Book group is always so much fun.  I look forward to it each month. We ended up talking till after 11 pm.
I am in the middle of 3 other books so I need to settle down and finish them.  I'm almost done with Austenland.  I'm half way done with The Room.  And I'm maybe a quarter of the way done with Educating Alice.  I'm going to try to finish all 3 this week. 
I went to Yoga this morning.  I love that I'm getting stronger each week.  It makes me feel great.  I'm going to try to go 3 more times this week.  If I can go 3-4 times each week and walk at least 3-4 times a week, I'll be doing well.  I just have to get the eating under control.  The other night I ate an entire roll of GS cookies.  Ugghh.

  1. I just started reading that book and you're right it IS depressing (but 100% accurate). Its great that you're going to yoga again. It is so hard to get back into a regular routine...until you start seeing results of course!
