"I'm sorry but I'm not."

Me too, Prariedog, me too.
I'm still recovering from a whirlwind weekend. Yes, I know that it is Thursday and therefore almost the weekend again but it takes a while to catch up after swing dancing and caves, masses and movies, all late into the night and spilling over into the week preceeding and following that weekend.
Woke up this morning at about 9:30 and was lying in bed, reveling in the fact I have a car on campus these days. I thought to myself, "I can go get coffee whenever I want or like Mom said, I can get myself to the dentist for my- MY APPOINTMENT!" I got up, dressed, out the door and was standing in front of Pat the receptionist at Dr. Mascia's office a mere 20 minutes later. I twas amazing. I knew there was something i had to do this morning but I just couldn't figure out what it was. When I passed on to Amanda the news that I have to get my wisdom teeth removed she said, "Can I help?!?" My shocked look prompted an addendum of, "I meant like with making you jello or something." Right. Nice cover, Amanda.
Working backwards, Candlelight Mass in the living room here was beautiful. We actually used candles as our only light, Fr. Lies did a great homily as usual, and lots of cool new people showed up.
Tuesday night had its ups and downs including running next door in tears to ask Fr. Jeff if he had some time to talk, watching scandalous (by Jenny's standards anyway) TV with tiff, and eating burning hot fresh "six minute wait" caramel apple empanadas from Taco Bell to celebrate the delivery of the Impaler to UST.
Cat got our signature picture up on the Common Ground website at the beginning of the week. This weekend we're having another resident retreat, minus two of our dear residents...Tiffany can't come due to familiy obligations and the 5th and newest addition to the house, Mr. Mouse, is not invited. Jen, Cat and I are driving up to my cabin for a relaxing overnight. It should be a good time considering the pictures Jen drew to illustrate the event on our whiteboard calender.
I'm off to escape at an unknown (to you) destination rather than do the many things I should be doing. Its me time.
