(I provided the link for those who are not uber-liturgical type people.)<\/p>\n<p>I went to church in town after church on Thursday and got to exercise my mad choir skillz (thank God for choir privileges there) as well as have a nice quiet service and all that. It&#8217;s kind of nice to have a preacher other than Jon occasionally because it&#8217;s different enough that I pay attention better and it makes me appreciate the things Jon does well in his preaching.\u00c2? Oh yes&#8230; I&#8217;m also an evil sinner because with only 2.5 days left until Easter, I broke my Lenten fast and had a Coke with lunch.\u00c2? *insert self-flagellation*<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I did the 12-3 fast and went for a walk during lunch to get my mind off of food.\u00c2?\u00c2? While on my walk, I met a very nice Maine Coon cat who allowed me to come close and who sniffed the fingers of my gloves.\u00c2? I left chocolate eggs on\/in everyone&#8217;s desk with a note saying &#8220;From the Easter Cat&#8221; so it was kind of cool to have a cat to reference.\u00c2? After grabbing a quick Veggie Delight sub in town, I went to Church #1 and got there early.\u00c2? While waiting for Jon to bring me clothes (I was in jeans and running shoes and figured that I should look a little nicer for Good Friday worship), I got to sit and jam with the people doing music for the service and the whole fellowship\/singing old-time gospel songs was really a blessing to me.\u00c2? The service itself was incredibly moving and reading the part of Caiaphas during the Passion story was also pretty intense as I realized the stuff I was saying.\u00c2? That plus the music made me a little teary during the prayers which I guess wasn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I got to sleep in before going to town to do errands&#8230; and having a few frantic phone calls with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.llbean.com\" title=\"L.L. Bean\">L.L. Bean<\/a> over them messing up my order.\u00c2? (That&#8217;s another entry.)\u00c2? I stopped at the library and loaded up on murder mysteries to read while I&#8217;m off next week, did some grocery shopping, and headed home.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I&#8217;m engaging in some &#8220;geek spring-cleaning&#8221; as my mother-in-law refers to it &#8212; I&#8217;m cleaning old crap off my laptop and putting pictures onto CD&#8217;s for storage because I&#8217;m running out of space.\u00c2? I&#8217;m hoping the cleaning will make my laptop run better &#8212; especially because I have some things I need to do next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&#8230; I&#8217;ve had a pretty nice Triduum this year.\u00c2?
