Jon: Jen, I’ve got this strange urge to celebrate Communion according to the Book of Common Prayer, Canada 1962. However, there’s the rule against celebrating Communion yourself. Wanna play Anglican?
Jen: Ummm… let me think about that for a few days.
Surprises and Spring Cleaning
I now understand why spring cleaning is so popular — you have to have something to do in early March when the weather shifts from spring (Saturday and Sunday) to fall/winter (the last few days).
I did the following today:
+ cleaned the microwave
+ cleaned out the trash
+ tossed out our massive plastic bag collection
+ cleaned the dish drainer
+ did two dishwasher loads
+ cleaned the counters
+ baked two loaves of apple bread
(Thank you Flylady!)
Before pre-marital counselling, I need to get the clothes from downstairs to upstairs with Jon’s help.
Surprises
One of my parishioners (who is a pastor’s mommy — her middle son is an ELCA pastor serving abroad) stopped by with a card for us. Inside the card was $100 and a note saying “Use this for groceries or taxes”. I’m thinking income taxes and subsidizing $20 of a new digital mouse? There will be much thank-you card writing!
Protected: Mildly Frustrated (I)
Sunday Morning
Theresa, you rock my world. Thank you so much for the drive, the cappucino, being such a role model of how to be a godly woman/mom/careerwoman, giving me someone I can talk to about life right now, and for praying for Jon and I. You are a true servant and encourager and an asset to the church.
Mixed Blessings
Bad News: My optical mouse died and I’m having to use my touchpad.
Good News: I’m listening to “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me!” on my computer. (It didn’t work last week.
Bad News: I had trippy dreams last night that made me wake up upset this morning. (I’d explain but that would be revealing stuff from my protected entries.)
Good News: One of my parishioners has offered to give me all her women’s magazines when she’s done with them. 🙂
Good News: I’m getting lots of crocheting done these days. I finished up stripe #4 on the tsunami afghan and I’m into stripe #5. I also am getting a square a day crocheted for my Lenten discipline.
A Happy Post for Once
Three pieces of good news:
1.) I re-passed my permit test and I actually scored better this year than last. Go me!
2.) I got the copy of Quentins that my mother-in-law sent me.
3.) We got the FULL deductible back from the accident in July. Hello tax money!
