For Kaley Cuoco, Sundays imply one factor: soccer.
Her fiancé Tom Pelphrey first made her a fan. “As a result of Tom is so obsessive about soccer, if I wasn’t going to hitch then I might be an outsider,” she says. “I wanted to be included so I jumped in. And by the way in which, I’m so glad I did.”

Now, she describes soccer season as “very iconic and sacred” of their home: “Each hour of it’s taken very significantly.” The remainder of the 12 months, Sundays are reserved for decompressing with actuality TV and true crime. “As an alternative of calling it trash [TV], I name it my ‘woman TV,’” she says. “I like ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Andy Cohen, I watch all his [series].

This interview has been frivolously edited and condensed for size and readability.
8 a.m.: Get up with the canine
A traditional wake-up for me is 7 a.m. as a result of we have now 4 canine who won’t let me sleep previous 7. It’s not even my daughter, it’s our silly canine. However my dream Sunday is sleeping in at the very least till 8 a.m. and having my espresso on my own with nobody bothering me. Having espresso within the morning is my favourite factor in the complete world, I look ahead to it.
I’m a half-and-half woman. By the way in which, with all of the unhealthy substances in all this s— now, half-and-half is definitely one of many cleanest issues you possibly can eat. I’m simply saying! Tom appears to be like at me like, ‘I can’t imagine that you simply put that in your espresso.’ I’m like, ‘Learn the substances in your oat milk! You assume you’re being all wholesome, have a look at that s—.’ Mine is simply milk and cream. Natural, easy, performed.
9 a.m.: Fast exercise sesh
If I’ve a bit of time for myself, I’ll go to my yoga class. I’m going to CorePower and I sweat my ass off. I’m not the kind of particular person that may work out in my home alone. So I’ve been going for years and years and years.
I like Pilates as nicely. And I journey my horses too. I do a number of using classes per week and I private practice. I get very bored … like this morning, I private skilled and tomorrow I’m going to have a using lesson. I undoubtedly like to modify it up. However I at all times return to CorePower as a result of I like it.
11 a.m.: Weekly manicure
Sunday can also be my manicure day. That’s certainly one of my favourite issues to do. I’m going to Helen’s Nails within the Valley and I like it. I at all times have my nails performed and that’s at all times on Sunday.
Helen’s been my woman for 18 years. I’ve adopted her to 5 places. I don’t go to anybody else. I don’t even get my nails performed after I’m engaged on set. I’m very loyal, OK? She is the perfect of the perfect. And it’s not even that I want it, I [just] take pleasure in that point. It’s like my fitness center.
For each job, I choose a nail shade. And so relying on what the job is, I’ll stick to that one shade for the complete factor. It additionally helps with continuity. For Season 1 of “Primarily based on a True Story,” I purposely had a crimson blood pink shade. It simply went with the theme. For “Harley Quinn,” I wasn’t on digital camera so I obtained to do regardless of the hell I would like. However I believe if that Harley was [live action], there can be 10 completely different colours and it might all be chipped. Not completely performed in any respect.
Midday: Take turns with Matilda
When Tom and I are on obligation with Matilda, a very long time in the past we well [decided to] take turns. We discover it pointless for each of us to be making an attempt to look at Matilda, as a result of then you definitely simply have two people who find themselves exhausted.
I’ll go within the bed room and get in my mattress — I’m not kidding, it might be 2 within the afternoon — and I watch trash TV for 2 hours. After which we change and I come out and play with Matilda and Tom goes and does what he does.
2 p.m.: Bounce round at Sky Zone
Sky Zone is so sensible as a result of they will’t get damage. She [Matilda] actually can run into something, run up the wall, fall into the pit and he or she’s laughing [the whole time]. And she or he likes to bounce, she thinks bouncing is so cool. So something like that, she freaking loves it. And by the point she will get dwelling, she’s so drained. We like it there.
3 p.m.: Erewhon run for dinner prep
I at all times really feel like groceries simply [get up and] go away. Everybody’s consuming all the pieces continually. Generally we do supply, however I believe it’s bizarre, individuals selecting out your meals, so I do grocery buying as nicely on Sundays.
I hate to confess the love I’ve for Erewhon. It’s fully overpriced. You go in, purchase a $40 smoothie. I admit it’s loopy. With that mentioned, I’ve purchased attire there. Like, I’ve an actual drawback. I purchase sweatshirts, I’ve obtained buying baggage. Tom’s like, “What are you doing?” I believe they’ve the perfect meals, the perfect substances. I like my buying expertise. Mr. Erewhon, wherever that particular person is, Mr. and Mrs. Erewhon? Good. I don’t understand how you probably did it.
5 p.m.: Dinner in entrance of the tube
I like cooking dinner. And I’ll make stuff for Matilda for the subsequent day and prep a few of her meals. On Sunday when I’ve time, I’ll prepare dinner one thing that Tom will need. Often he’ll put a steak on. And since I don’t eat meat, he’ll make the steak after which I’ll make the edges and we’ll sit and have dinner.
Tom’s quite simple, like me. He desires meat and potatoes. I don’t need the meat, however I would like quite simple dishes. So we’re not very adventurous in our [eating habits] though now I see it in my daughter. She desires rice and beans and nothing else. I’m like, Oh, my God, I’ve created a monster.
And we love TV, so we’ll watch some TV whereas we’re consuming. We simply began the Cate Blanchett present on Apple, “Disclaimer.” It’s Alfonso Cuarón’s present and he’s by no means performed TV earlier than. It’s incredible. We did “Menendez Brothers” for the previous few weeks. Certainly one of our particular rooms in our home is a theater, so we love to look at films down there. We watched “His Three Daughters” the opposite night time, incredible. We watched “Blink Twice,” we hadn’t seen that and beloved it.
9 p.m.: Bedtime!
I used to go to mattress very early. And I will likely be sincere, if Tom’s gone, I’ll get in mattress at 8:30 p.m. It’s not that I’m going to sleep, I wish to get in mattress with my canine and watch my unhealthy TV. That’s what I like to do. However that’s clearly not each single night time. So then, when he’s right here, I keep up later as a result of he’s such an evening owl and I hate that there’s all these hours I miss hanging out with him, so I attempt to keep up a bit of later. We’ll watch a film and fall asleep nearer to 11 p.m., however after I’m alone, I’m in mattress earlier than 9.
