It’s match day! So this post is coming in a bit early. But Atlanta United kicks off at 6PM and I want to be ready for that.

It’s been a rainy day here, and I managed the Gym and the grocery store before settling in to read more of The Rules of Magic. I didn’t get to read as much as I had hoped to this week. I traveled for work and things were really busy.

I skipped Les Miserables this afternoon. I’ve seen it before and I hate missing it, but after being gone all week, there were things I just needed to do today.

The Atlanta United match will be an exception to my self-imposed no TV on Sundays plan. We are playing DC United and they always get under our skin.

I visited Barnes and Noble yesterday and bought some new books, so my to-read pile continues to grow. This month’s Book Club selection is Jodi Picoult’s A Spark of Light.  I’ll be starting that in the next day or so.

The house smells good. I roasted some chicken this afternoon. I chopped vegetables for a salad, and threw together a Georgia Caviar to take to my neighbors’ for the match. What’s a Georgia Caviar? Well, I can’t remember where I first heard of it, but it’s corn, black-eyed peas, chopped tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and green chiles tossed together and marinated in red wine vinegar and taco seasonings. I added black beans today, too, and I bought a trinity mix rather than chop the onion and green pepper. I like it by itself, but I also bought Hint of Lime chips to serve it with.

And I’ll have a glass of Apothic later. I like the Apothic wines- they’re not bad for a home staple.

It’s quiet now. Fairy lights and low lamps are on. The cats are all napping. It’s yet another dreary day here. The warm lights make it feel cozy.

And, that’s it for this week. Let me know how you are. What are you cooking? Reading? Enjoying?
