Soggy Saturday
« on: April 03, 2010, 02:30:13 AM »
Looks like a wet weekend today.  Got some parts in to fix my busted vacuum and I'm planning on throwing the passenger seat for my car back together. 



New shift starting Monday... 7-3:30pm.  We'll see how it goes.  Not much else happening around la casa today other than the usual weekend stuff (naps, oversleeping, and general laziness).

We're already getting some light sprinkles with rain later this morning.

Chris, I would slay dragons for that shift!    Guess you are getting the rain we had yesterday.  higLooks to be a banner weekend here, sunny, no wind, high of 80 tomorrow.  I have big plans to get a lot of outside work done, including working on my herb garden.

Thank GOD it's the weekend.  Must have been more tired than I thought, because I dragged myself off the couch at 10 last night (having fallen asleep on it at some previous point) and into bed, not to wake up until 9:45 this morning.

I was supposed to have the dog at the groomers at 9.  Oops.  No harm, no foul, says they.

Weather is gorgeous, windows are all open.  75 both today and tomorrow.  Chicken defrosting as we speak, ribs already in the fridge.  Making pasta salad for both nights.  Maybe going to get some melon to go with dinner(s).

Zero plans for tomorrow.

Rain due in at anytime. It's already up to 72, and the sky is getting darker to the SW. Supposed to clear out after a couple of hours then sunshiny the for the next several days and in the low 80's. We had about a week of spring!

Doing some stuff around the house.

Runnin' Buddy and I started out yesterday meeting at 4 at Starbucks to just go get nails done and instead ended up visiting an historical cemetary....couple of Revolutionary War vets buried there. She's taken on a project to get Admiral Farragut's birthplace (down the road a few miles from both of us) designated a Nat'l Historic Site. Which is evolving into finding all the other undesignated historical sites in the area found, researched, etc. Told her yesterday, that she's getting a tad OCD on this stuff. Did I mention she's sucking me into it too?.... :lmao:

Did some other running around, met up with our sons to have a drink, ended up at Walmart to do some grocery shopping. Wouldn't you think, the first Friday of the month, and a holiday weekend....they would have more than 4 registers in the store open?!?! :censored: Stood in line for 30 minutes waiting to check out. Got home at 11:45.

Good thing our spouses trust us completely... :thatsright:

Church at 7:30 in the morning. Then making "to die for" strawberry cupcakes and going to RB's husband's daughter's for Easter dinner. Doing it super, super casual. It was decided that the getting together was more important than spending time in the kitchen cooking. Since the weather is going to be so great, it's going to be picnic-y with take out fried chicken and picnic foods. Perfect!!

Easter service starting at 11PM tonight, and I most likely won't be home before 4AM.  Will be lots of fun, but I may end up taking a nap this afternoon so I don't fall asleep  :p  I signed up for a vigil reading this evening as well.

My parents got me a camera for my birthday yesterday, so I've been playing with that.

I have a couple loads of laundry to do as well.  Fun, Fun, Fun on Holy Saturday

It's absolutely beautiful here today.  Near 80, mostly sunny, and all I need to do is to figure out which shirt I want to wear tonight for Easter Vigil Mass.  It'll be almost three hours long, and we've got to be there about an hour beforehand.  We've got a rather challenging piece to sing for the Communion hymn--it's an Alleluia (that's the title, too) that a guy by the name of Randall Thompson wrote in 1940.  It's a capella, and it's a bear.  But, the choir director--who teaches music and directs two or three other choirs at a local high school--has been able to wring and tweak the sound so that we sound goooood.  The concluding hymn is good ol' "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" and if I follow last years' form on this, I'll deafen everyone in front of me for a three-person radius.  (I sing forte a lot better than piano.)  Tomorrow . . . well, tomorrow's music is really nice, too--the prelude to 11 AM Mass is seven minutes long, and it's something that I would absolutely love to do the male lead on someday.  Doubtful, though, as the guy who does the male lead is so much better a vocalist than I could ever be.  (A man's got to know his limitations.)

We're singing "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" tomorrow too. It's one of my most favorite songs and one that I will even sing. I figure people around me just have to deal with the fact that I can't sing worth a flip!

We have a cantor at the 7:30 Mass, (no choir) and she has an incredible soprano voice. I talked to her yesterday after the Good Friday Eucumenical service, and asked if we were singing that and "Hail Thee, Festival Day".....she said no to Festival Day...asked her if we could sing it next week then... :-) ...it's another favorite of mine. She told me it was an "Anglican" song. I said I knew, that I grew up in the Episcopal Church. She said she did too, and left because she didn't like the changes.

Rain never showed up, and it's become sunshiny and bee-u-ti-ful!!! Been outside in shorts, pressure washing the pool......IIIIIIII ammmm stilllll quiveryyyyyyyyyy....... :lmao:

Kids are having a Easter Egg hunt with nephew and kids across the street after church then a huge dinner with the same neighboors. All the yummy food both American from our family and some yummy Mexican food from our neighboors. Then off to work for me at 9pm till 2pm the next day to start my week. I so wish our manager would hire 2 more people so some of old timers wouldn't have to pull so many doubles each week. Thank God I only have 2 doubles and 3 regular days this week.
