Can't say as I wanted to get out of bed today. Stayed there until close to noon. It was comfy, and as long as I stayed there I could have good daydreams. I had work to do today so I was avoiding it as long as I could.
Today's tasks involved going in to work and looking after some maintenance. Also had to go pick up a few things at the grocery stores. I also moved the wood from the garage down to the basement, so I can burn what I have left. I am definitely getting more wood next year. Not having a whole lot of strength meant that it took me several loads to move what didn't seem like that much wood. Didn't help my back either, which I seem to have hurt a bit during the great flood. Speaking of which, my dad was by on Friday and set up a sand bag dam, and put extensions on the gutter spouts so the water would flow away from the house. I am hoping this will prevent any more floods.
Exciting news: I bought a shower curtain on Friday. It was 50% off and "has hippos on it". This was my justification. That and the fact that the last time I looked for a shower curtain, I couldn't find one I liked, so now I have one ready for the downstairs bathroom. Whenever that gets finished, I have no idea. Need to focus on the outside next.
It now appears official that my mother has disowned me for the third time. Went to church yesterday and she walked right by me and sat in another pew. Guess I am off to the opposite side of church yet again. You really need to get some new material, mother. This disowning thing has gotten really boring. It's like a big joke now. Grow up and get a life.
Holy Week starts today. For me, this is it, this is what it's all about. Christmas is just a retail invention now, no one seems to remember we're celebrating the birth of Jesus. Easter, fortunately, hasn't been overrun by a bunny and some eggs. They're still out there, and I even have bunnies and chicks and eggs in my living room, but the main focus is still about Jesus. I'm even throwing a party where we watch Jesus movies, what more can you ask for.
This will actually be a busy week for me. I have 2 dance classes this week, Monday and Wednesday night. The instructor wanted to finish the last class this week so she could have a week off, and then the following week we start Beginner II. Thursday night I'll be at the Mass of the Lord's Supper, followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. I'll probably stay for a while and reflect. Friday I am supposed to be off work, but I am going in to do a system upgrade since it's not a holiday in the US and we're closed... ahhhhh, no one around to aggravate me. Good Friday mass begins at 3pm. Then home for the All About Jesus Good Friday Easter Egg-stravaganza. Saturday night at 8pm is Easter Vigil, my favorite mass. Easter Sunday I have no plans, I was hoping to have Easter ham with my mom, but being the terrible daughter that I am, "no ham for you!"
If anyone wants to go to a movie on Sunday, let me know. I wouldn't mind seeing The Ring 2. "I say... take me out"
Friday night, while we were out at dinner, somehow the topic of my dealbreakers came up. I sat and listened as those at the table rattled them off, in what seems to have become a Lizism. Just want to clarify a point for those who may be taking me seriously: hot is not really a dealbreaker. Also consider that I found a short, fat accountant in a suit "hot". I love suits. Loved going suit shopping with the ex. I think this is part of the appeal of Michael Vartan, he wears a suit every week on Alias, no wonder I drool. I'll do anything for a guy in a 4-button suit, it's a weakness... I am a suit slut. Remind me to stay out of Moore's.
Back to my point. I wouldn't mind dating a hot guy, but it is not a serious-relationship dealbreaker. Church-going is (more on that later this week). 80s music... well let's face it, I play it in the house, in the car, while I'm in the shower, every Saturday night... so you're going to have to like it for your own sanity. Hang on, I hear something... sounds like a crowd... they must be lining up for me now, I'd better go outside and check it out. Maybe they're wearing 4-button suits!!!

hey, you can always come to my house for easter dinner. mowm would be ecstatic for someone to share catholic grace with. in theory we're having turkey but we could have ham.
meanwhile what's with your mom again? yeesh. i thought she had given that up for lent.
I don't friggin know. I'll admit this time I pissed her off, but I did apologize. Nothing is ever good enough for her so I'm not surprised. She probably found this blog. My dad once told me she used to go through and read my diary. I didn't believe him until I remembered one time where she said something to me that was an exact phrasing I had written, and I knew I had never mentioned that to her before.
Correct. Dec, 25th is pretty much an arbitrary date when it comes to the actual birth of Jesus. I don't remember the date, but I think you're right, it's some time in Feb/spring. Easter is pretty much the same as well when you think about it, since it shifts every year. This is an interesting link on the calculation of the date of Easter. Jenn, it even has math in it!!
You'll have to come visit us at work sometime Liz. There are lots of men who wear suits very well. :-d
Anthony and I are going to come Friday night, but we're going to skip "Passion of the Christ"-its a little too graphic and once was plenty.
Yea Math!
Yea Easter!
Yea Party!
What can I bring?
Yea Jazz Hands!!!!
Those who come for The Passion get priority seating! a.k.a. a spot on the couch.
Jenn: I can't seem to stop buying pop, so I have lots of that. Dips were on sale, went crazy there. My dad got me some giant Costco bags of Ruffles. I have lots of non-animal shaped candy to put in my Serving Centre. Only thing I need are some baby carrots, as alternative to candy, if you would like to bring a medium-sized bag of those. And people can bring their own booze. I have a half-bottle of house rum.
Speaking of booze, Mare, that is your Holy Ail in my fridge, yes? You should drink it or do something with it, it's been there since September.
Note to self: find excuses to visit Xerox.
Potential bad porn movie name: "Suit Slut Does Xerox"
Yea Baby Carrots!
Yea Booze!
jenn, did they give you painkillers again?
I think they did give her more....share? :)
Interesting.
Whew I'm a little late on this one, but Liz we're having ham & blueberry cheesecake. Can't imagine the folks would mind if ya can handle protestant grace. Hehehe!
Easter's always been my fave holiday. This Santa LIE just goes in the face of everything that is supposed to be Christmas. Grrr. Even as a kid I wasn't much into the farce that has become Christmas.
Um the Ring 2? Pass on it. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pass on it. It's hilarious. Comical. Ok so see it if you want to see a comedy. I saw it Saturday night and at one point it was so hilarious I actually lifted from my seat in laughter. There were half a dozen or so startling - not scary - parts to which there were screams of shock quickly followed by howls of laughter from the entire audience. Rent or download it... Don't bother seeing this one in the theatre. It's definitely a pass.
I want to see that movie...
