The Sunday Salon: Activities Galore

Before typing up this post, I checked my post history to see when my last Sunday Salon was published. My guess was probably a month ago. But in truth, I haven't posted a Sunday Salon so far this year. That actually surprised me quite a bit. I typically enjoy the Sunday postings - I generally reserve the more personal news and goings-on for Sundays. Posting about books on Sundays sounds like working during the weekend. No?

Lately, it has been quite difficult to be able to post anything. Our parents had flown halfway across the world to be with us for a few months. And sometimes, we also have our brothers in town when they manage to take a week or weekend off school work. So, for the last couple of weeks, the evenings have been filled with hours of Monopoly card games. And then it could be TV or more games (Sims) afterwords. While that's a lot of fun, I do miss the constant blogging and have been trying to find out ways to squeeze that in. What - wake up earlier? NoThankYou.

It was a wonderfully warm day yesterday after weeks of cold and rain (not that I'm complaining), but I think I'm ready for Spring. Summer, not yet. We have tons of work to do around the house as well - the husband is planning to build some furniture and I'm eager to get our yard landscaped and have a garden set up. I'm also hoping that the weekends stay nice and warm so that we can get out more often.

Today the plan is to visit Yogaville, which is an ashram and yoga center combined. I had only recently heard of this place despite it being close by. Here's hoping that this visit will make me more invested in yoga.

As for books, I just finished Elie Wiesel's Night yesterday - which was amazing! I'm not sure yet what I will be reading next. I plan to buy the sequels to Night soon, but in the meantime, it's wonderful to just blindly choose something!

Oh, and totally disappointing about the one hour less sleep last night! Spring Forward definitely is less exciting that Fall Behind!
