I'm still alive (thanks Eddie Vedder)

We survived the weekend, and another first communion. We also ate too much afterward at our friends' house. As usual.

Sparky's on his 6th-grade class trip; I pick him up sometime later today.

I'm at work and (surprise, surprise) cranky. Hence no QOTD/WOTD today. I'm just saying I'm here, but I'm not exactly the Queen of Nice today. I want some warm weather!! I want people to go away and leave me alone. I want, I want, I want...

I think I need a makeover. Or a do-over.


As Rob Lacey says today:

"Guys, you taking notes? Get this down: How many ears you got? Two. How many mouths? One. Two to one's about the right ratio. Listen twice as much as you talk. And put an extension on that short fuse of yours, 'cos losing your cool doesn't help you live right....

"So you think you're religious, do you? Well, if you can't control your mouth, then you're in denial and your religion's a waste of time. Religion that means something to with Father God is this: looking out for the homeless, empowering those in the poverty trap and keeping yourself from getting polluted by the System.

"Don't get suckered by rich people--they're no more important than Ordinary Joe."

So. Sometimes the lectionary is perfect. And I'm shutting up now.
