Sunday, March 11

First day of Daylight Savings Time. So it was 8:30 before we woke up this morning. It'll take a while to adjust to the time change. Since we were late having breakfast, we settled for just toast and coffee. I skipped my exercises, as I usually do on Sundays.

Despite the dismal day, Mother wanted to come over this morning, so Hubbie accompanied her. She sliced onions and bell peppers, and cut beef into strips, which I sauteed and then simmered in beef broth, garlic, and spices, for our lunch. Hubbie washed potatoes for baking, and I prepared a dish of green beans for the oven.

While the meal cooked, I set the DVR for the week's movies and shows, and threw clothes into the washer.

After lunch, Mother resumed working on her jigsaw puzzle, while Hubbie and I watched Kentucky and Vanderbilt play for the championship in the final SEC game. In an upset, Vandy won 71-64. We weren't rooting for either team, but we figured that undefeated Kentucky would take the championship, after winning 24 straight games. Vandy, however, was hungier, since their school hadn't won the title since 1951.

Later, we watched the 2010 movie, "Conviction," starring Hillary Swank and Sam Rockwell. This film is based on the true story of a woman who puts herself through law school in order to represent her brother, wrongfully accused of murder. Kenny Waters spent 18 years in prison, before it was proven through DNA that he didn't commit the murder.

Spent the evening watching one-hour shows. Yawned the whole time. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was the time change, though I shouldn't have been sleepy at 8:30, when it would have been 7:30 by standard time. Maybe it was plain old laziness.
