This is the day we all remember! John Paul II pray for us and teach us to love Mary as you did!

Well. So I lied.

Yeah I am a liar. I do have a blog, and I guess I had abandoned it. What can i say? Blogging takes more thought than carelessly roaming around facebook saying random things on people's walls. Instead of getting disattached from the 6 things I gave up for lent, I created an attachement for facebook.

Stink, I know.

So. Facebook is not going to be surfacing on my screen until after Easter. Sort of a Holy Week thing. I recommend to all of you to step up your vigilance. Devil is pretty sneaky.

Have a blessed and prayerful Holy Week! Prepare your hearts, be vigilant!

Oh, so I have a blog. . .

Yes, I have a blog and have not abandoned it to the depths of internet evasion. I have been super busy doing this,that and the other thing and have not been in the bloggin mood. That happens every once in a while. However I am now back, not dead, and can't wait to begin the daily blog routine. (Of course it hasn't been daily in a few months now. We'll see how that one pans out.)

By the way the wedding was absolutely awesome. The bride was beautiful, food was excellent, and the music was sublime. Who can beat that?

Cheers!

Oh so funny

This is hysterical. My guy readers can tell me if its false, but we all know it's funny. It is from a facebook gropu called, "60 things girls need to understand about guys!!!!"


"Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused."

Beer Bottle Labels

Yes sir ree. Our good friends gave us about three miles of that silvery paper primarily designed but rejected for use on labeling beer bottles (glass ones). Nice shiny silvery stuff that made EXCELLENT Christmas wrapping paper.

Good Catholic families can do that sort of thing.

It was the first year that all of our presents fell under the color scheme. I felt very worldly.

Tonight I had the bright idea of making background scenery for our Christmas Epiphany play tomorrow. So I bought three cans of spraypaint, rolled out three sheets of silver beer bottle paper and began painting. I had a stable a tree and the sky and the earth. Looked like something out of the PAINT program we all know and love.

So I left it on the ground. It was warm. I went out to get it about three hours later. It was cold. It was also wet. Very wet. Condensation or the exhalation of the earth or whatever. And we all know what happens to WET BEER BOTTLE LABELS. DISINTEGRATION makes it happen, disintegration, makes a difference. La la la la .

My spirits disintegrated and I had no recompense for the sore forefinger. (due to the spray paint)

sometimes things stink.

Goin' to the chapel and I'm. . .

Going to a wedding. . . .

Can't think of a better way to start off the new year than seeing two of my bestest friends get hitched in the holy sacrament of matrimony. I am so super siked. It is up in Virginia, so I have to take a few days off work. Which, by the way, is ultimately cool with me.

I hope everyone in the blogosphere is determined to celebrate the remaining 2 days of Christmas.

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, ten lords a leaping. I'm not sure I could find a use for ten lords, but one or two however would make fine escorts to the wedding. If my true love trusts me with ten, he should trust me with two, eh?

Ave Maria!

Unborn Child counts As Person

Hey- just a quick little post in between my after Christmas rush.

I have been filling out my FAFSA stuff, and noted this tidbit in the tips under, "filing dependants"

"If you have an unborn child who will be born before or during the award year (July 1 through June 30) and will be your legal dependent, that child should be counted as a member of the household. "

Cool. Notice the terminology, "that CHILD should be counted as a member of the household". All members of the household have rights, including the right to be claimed as dependants. And the right to life.

Nice.
