I am not a good Sunday-er. Even Saturday night little inklings of dread start forcing their way in, and when my eyes open Sunday morning, that dread has found a nice comfortable spot in the pit of my stomach to settle for the rest of the day. You'd think I was about to walk the plank the way I get all worked up. But I'm trying to make Sundays more pleasant, more about doing nice things like playing catch or watching a movie instead of last minute laundry or closet reorganization. And I only have 5 more days until an entire week off. What's to complain about?
I only got about half way through Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but I am enjoying it very much.
In other reading news, I arrived home to an Outside magazine in my mailbox. I received a free subscription to the magazine, and who doesn't love free?! But I have to be honest, it is a little too adrenaline junkie for me. I really enjoy being outside, but as I always say, I am no X-gamer. There was an interesting cover story about the increasing use of helicopters for rescue of stranded and injured climbers on Everest. If you're into that kind of thing, I recommend it, but it certainly isn't calming for a Sunday night.
I am at a loss for a good magazine to look forward to. Back in the day, the arrival of an American Girl magazine in the mailbox made my day! And it only came once every 2 months so there was a lot of anticipation. But since then, nothing has quite captured my attention. Sure I'll pick up a mag or two at the airport. I had my Glamour days for a while and Vanity Fair, and I really love flipping through Cooking Light, but I don't have a magazine that really keeps me waiting, one that I want to read from cover to cover. I enjoy the Week. It has a good balance of smart stuff and some lighter articles as well. Maybe I should subscribe.
Do you have any magazine subscriptions or do you just pick something up that strikes your fancy in the check-out line? Any suggestions?
