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?

Just FYI

Blogging’s been a bit light over the past few months, as you may have noticed, and it’s probably going to get lighter before it gets heavier. Between working both jobs, wedding plans, maintaining my home, marriage prep classes, maintaining my relationship with my fiancĂ©, trying to keep in touch with friends, and family obligations…well, I’m a tired little monkey, and the last thing I’m apt to think when I get home to eat dinner at 9 or 10 o’clock is “Gee, I should blog!”

Don’t get me wrong; I love blogging, and I love my readers. But now I’m developing some minor health issues; really nuisance things in the grand scheme, but on top of everything else they’re the proverbial straw and I’m the camel’s back.

Sooo…I expect to be back to near-normal by Easter, and hope to blog periodically between now and then, but in the meantime, don’t be surprised if my posts are fewer and shorter than usual.

Love you guys!
