Notes on the weekend
Kasia February 25th, 2008
Saturday. Got The Canuck’s immigration packet finished and mailed, much to his relief. (If truth be told, I’m relieved too, but I wasn’t as anxious to get it done.) Met with the pre-marriage counselor for the first time, and took the inventory. Most of it was pretty uneventful, but I have to admit I got a little discombobulated when it came to answering questions about my family of origin. It’s hard to know quite how to answer questions that have complicated answers.
Sunday. Mass – actually with Father JJ, which was nice. Our associate is away for a while, but we’ve got a temporary weekend assistant until he’s back. Deo gratias for order priests (he’s a Notre Dame Father)! Dropped off The Canuck at the train station, went home, grocery shopped, then watched Annie on TV with The Big Seester. I hadn’t realized how much they changed the original score to suit the movie. I also hadn’t realized before (hey, I was eight the last time I saw the movie) how thin some of the premises are. But boy howdy, did Carol Burnett and Tim Curry play their roles well! We were several minutes into a Miss Hannigan scene before I said “Is that Carol Burnett?!” and when TBS confirmed, I paused, surprised, and said “She really does ’slatternly’ well.” I don’t know that she could carry off a more nuanced, elegant role – Grace Kelly she’ll never be – but she seems to have had a blast with that role, and she really stole the show.
Another week of this-and-that; I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend in Chatham.
And you?
What about the tale of my comment about the Communion hymn?
I forgot about it when I was posting; I’ll post it before I leave work.
