Clothing myself in: redish/pink sweater, jeans, knee-high boots. My hair came out curly this morning from my braid yesterday, so I just spritzed it and pulled it half up to show off my rare occurrence of fun curls.
Around the apartment: Today was "chore day." I did the dishes, vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom and *shameful face* put away socks from doing laundry a week ago.
In an attempt to not keep beating myself up over my lack of energy and inability to ever get anything done, it seems, I've started changing the focus of my days, rather than getting multiple things crammed into each day. Monday is work day (well, I work in the morning every day, but Monday is for youth group and Reditus), Tuesday is school day, Wednesday is volunteer day, Thursday is chore day, Friday is exercise day...Saturday and Sunday is up in the air still, haven't hit a groove yet.
The hubby: The guy was awesome and cleared off my car this morning :-). Hmm...I don't know, life is busy and usual. Nothing too out of the ordinary. He's helping a Benedictine friend move this weekend.
In the kitchen: On the schedule this week has been: steak and crockpot mac & cheese, salisbury steak, and chicken parmesan casserole. Allllll Pinterest. Sidenote: did you know that kielbasa is soooo cheap compared to other meats and stretches a long way? A huge help to this gal on a budget.
Crafting: I'm preparing for a baby shower this weekend, and I'm using the birth blessing idea that my sister-in-law wrote about. Should be fun! Also I made this craft for my youth group room. I need to put more hooks around the room...and put a ladder in there so I'm not precariously standing on chairs trying to hang things above the chalkboards.
Learning: Synoptic Gospels: reviewing the historical-critical methods of reading Scripture/the New Testament.
Fundamental Moral Theology: Veritatis Splendor, Man's Desire for God by Fr. Mullady, the class professor, a little bit of CCC and some Summa (What up, Aquinas? We meet again.). Basically setting the ground work for the relationship of soul/body and why the Church has the authority to speak on moral issues.
Reading: See above.
Watching: I had round THREE of sickness last weekend. Yuck. I finished How to Marry a Millionaire, and watched a documentary called Hungry for More, Hondo (expanding my John Wayne movie base, thanks to Netflix), and The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (old Ingrid Bergman movie).
Bringing me joy: traveling to STL tomorrow, getting to see one of my best friends with the School Sisters of Christ the King recently, seeing kids impacted by material from youth group, even if it's only one or two who show up.
Thinking about: oh yeah I have homework due tomorrow and Saturday and I'm traveling and putting on a baby shower. Oh. I swear I knew this going into the week...it's just hitting me now OH MY LANTA I HAVE SO MUCH TO WORK ON.
Pictures to share: I know I shared this on Facebook, but it just brings me so much joy, I can't help but share it again.
