Sunday is My Lazy Day

Sunday, February 21/16

Gravity by Sara Bareilles, give it a listen and tell me you don't find her voice to be captivating.


Stayed up to watch some SNL and have to say it was a tad bit disappointing, but then I think the show began a slow slide to mediocrity a little while back when certain performers started to leave for better opportunities. I know this is the natural course of things and has happened before only to see the show bounce back but for some reason this cycle is a bit more painful to endure.

Woke up bright and early to some warm weather and one happy puppy anxiously waiting to go for a walk. An hour later and one dried out puppy I hit the kitchen to make some bacon and eggs, not my usual breakfast fare when I'm alone but for some reason the thought just appealed to me so I went at it a gusto. I used to hate cooking bacon until C showed me the trick of placing tin foil on a cookie sheet and then cooking the bacon in the oven, completely eliminates the whole getting spattered with grease and having to figure out when it's done. She might be gone but I still appreciate the little tricks she passed along to me for cooking.

Now I'm not a big fan of changing things up when I cook but for some reason today was mix it up and I diced an onion and added it to my eggs along with a dash of pepper. Now that might not seem like a big deal but if you really knew me you'd be looking skyward for the flying swine as I never do things like that, but you know what, it was pretty darn good. There is something to be said for breaking routine now and than.

I've got my gym bag ready and will be heading over to Movati in a bit to continue my plan of reducing my pear shaped body and increasing my endurance - my goal is to be able to play 36 holes of golf in a day and not be completely physically exhausted. For those of you who have read the blog for a bit you'll have already figured out that this really means I want to be able to play two rounds of 18 each day of the weekend. Yes, I admit I am a bit of a glutton when it comes to my golf and make no excuses or apologies for it, when you love doing something why forgo it?

Now that doesn't mean I'm not open to trying new things. Nope, not at all as I was hoping to try snowshoeing and cross country skiing this winter but that didn't work out as planned.

I will be trying Stand Up Paddle Boarding this summer as I really enjoyed the one time I did it last summer up in Petawawa. It was a really hot day and the whole effort was really a good workout, the best part being if you get too hot you just take a quick dip in the river to cool off :)

After the gym I'm probably going to go see a movie, not sure which one yet, and grab a few things at Loblaws before heading home for the day. Laundry was done last night so that means I'll grab a book and read a bit before indulging in my Sunday AMC favourite "The Walking Dead".

So what is on your plate for the day?

I still owe you a blog about the conversation I had while waiting in line at the concession stand at the movies a while back and might even post it tonight. Might make you smile, it did me.

My name is Marcus and these are my ongoing adventures at trying to be the best father possible, a good friend, hard worker, master the 8 iron from 135+ yards, dating, and maybe meeting my one.
