Outside my window...
Raining and drizzly, again, but I had a nice, cool walk with the doggy this morning.
I am thinking...
About how I don't have much on the calendar this week, so I can relax. I still have things that need to be done---AHG, of course---but it's going to be hard to motivate myself!
I am thankful...
For the Eucharistic Congress this weekend. I got to see the beautiful Eucharistic procession with all the schools and parishes from the Archdiocese. You've got to love the Hispanic groups that are dressed up and dance and sing all through the procession, just like King David singing and dancing for the Lord! I'm especially thankful for making new friends IRL (Maria and Sarah!), and getting to spend a fun hour with them.
From the learning rooms...
Math, math, math. All summer long.
In the kitchen...
Last night my dear daughter made gyros. I was just going to roast the leg of lamb that I bought for Holy Thursday (!) and never cooked, but she immediately moved to gyros and did most of the work. They were good; the gyro lovers in the family thought they were awesome. I'm not one of those, evidently. But I ate it. I wasn't excited about the lamb in any form, except maybe live.
I am wearing...
Shorts and an XL polo from a past Eucharistic Congress because I found plenty of other good stuff to eat this weekend, and it's a day for loose clothing and frumpy casual. Only beause I'm in a good mood, though. If I were in a bad mood, that would require bright colors, probably turquoise, flattering clothing, and makeup. :-)
I am knitting...
Finishing the baby blanket today. Really. It's big enough. The goal is to knit those last few rows, bind off, and weave in ends. All that work will probably require a good movie or two!
I am going...
No Where!
I am wondering...
Why kids can't find anything to eat when both the pantry and fridge are stuffed to the proverbial gills with food.
I am reading...
The Catholics Next Door; All Creatures Great and Small; The Truth About St. Therese
I am praying...
For my best friend and her family, for Alison, for Elizabeth de Hority, for our priests and deacons, for a marriage, and for my children.
I am looking forward to...
the sun shining again!
I am hearing on my ipod...
I enjoyed Just a Catholic Dad on my walk this morning. He always makes me smile!
Yesterday I heard myself on my ipod! At the Eucharistic Congress I got to record an episode of Catholic Weekend with Capt. Jeff, Maria, and Sarah Vabulous, the Catholic Drinkie. So, go listen up if you want to hear my "lovely, female voice".
Around the house...
Laundry!!! And I'll probably get drafted into helping my grown girl make preparations for a bridal shower this week, and getting ready for her 3-week trip to Spain and Italy.
The Wizard of Oz, which, if you follow me on Twitter is one of my favorite movies. We watched it last night and it was so much fun.
These hardy hibiscus flowers by my mailbox which bloomed today and greeted me this morning!
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

That was interesting when the procession went by during the podcast.
