(been awhile since we had one of these!)
Outside my window:
Cloudy and cold! It's only in the 40s, but it was in the 70s yesterday. It was a really beautiful Easter.
Listening to:
The clanking of my blinds over the heating vent. They make this odd noise that scares new people to my house but at this point I'm used to it.
Wearing::
A green elbow-length sleeve top, light green, and a skirt. I thought it was going to be warmer today!
Reading::
Now that the Lenten book buying fast is over...I bought two new books today. So I'm reading Life from Our Land, The Contemplative Hunger, With God In Russia (church library book), and Girl Meets God (re-read). My birthday is in less than two weeks, so I didn't buy a ton of books, since I usually get books in abundance on my birthday.
Good Friday at my parish.
Writing::
I'm going to be writing up my triduum notes over the next few days--sharing some good things I gleaned from the liturgies and the reading/ prayer time I had. Hopefully someone will find it enlightening or useful, but I always like to write up my triduum notes, anyway. I'm also working on a new short story, and yes, Catholic 101 will continue. As will knitting. :) Because I know you all want to see me knit something other than a washcloth. Or a scarf.
I'm also going to be writing a piece about how sin is like a washcloth. Really. (Stick with me, here.)
From the kitchen::
I'm really trying to crack down on what I eat and go back to making a lot more of my meals. Today I made meatloaf meatballs (basically big fat meatballs with meatloaf seasonings) and I'm waiting for them to come out of the oven, so I'll have to report back on how they taste. Later this week I'm making walleye, pork chops with Swiss Chard, and a curried chicken with apples. The last one I've made a few times and it's a definite winner.
Around the house::
I did a lot of Spring Cleaning over Holy Week (at least, the first three days), and I'm pleased with the results so far. There are still areas that need attention, like my end tables and the Shelf of Cookbooks, so I'll be attacking those this week.
In the CD player::
Audrey Assad's Inheritance, and the Benedictines of Ephesus CD Easter at Ephesus.
California Trip::
Yes, it's happening at the end of April. That means I have to start thinking about Fun Things To Do and What To Pack. Yeeeeeeeehaw!
Picture from this week::
Spring flowers for my table and tea tray.
