Catholic Women's Almanac No. 21

Outside my window::

MORE SNOW. Make it stop. Please?

I’m wearing::

My PJs–a University of Pittsburgh t-shirt and Boden PJ pants with London landmarks on them.

In the CD Player::

Act II of The Phantom of the Opera, 25th anniversary recording.

Reading::

Rooted in Grace; Life of Christ. Also, a lot of books are coming this week, which will include: Middlemarch, Can You Forgive Her?. Loverly: The History and Legacy of My Fair Lady; The Enchanted April; An Everlasting Meal, and Walking on Water. Yeah, that’s a lot of reading.

Listening to::

TV–when I write, I need some background noise.

Creating::

I just cut a whole scene of the novel, and now I’m going back to re-write it; also thought of a slight timeline change for it, so I’ll have to edit that. Also wrote two columns for Suscipio this week!

Working out::

Back in the saddle. Workouts planned for T, W, Th and Sat. (M and F are my days off) Gotta get some yoga in there and stretch out.

Around the house::

Oh, the usual–the sweeping and the mopping and the vacuuming.

Links:

Richard III’s remains discovered (as a Brit History geek, I love this)

Things I’m doing this week::

This is a scarily clear week. So working out, writing, reading, watching movies.  (The BBC’s Tess of the D’Ubervilles is on my watch list, as is Somewhere In Time). There’s a holy hour at my parish with the Dominican sisters who teach in a nearby suburb so I’m psyched about that! Also church book sale this weekend and Lay Dominican monthly chapter meeting on Sunday. So Friday and Sunday will be busy.

Lent plans::

So far: cutting back on facebook to only Sundays and if I have something Major to Post; 4 of the Hours in the Liturgy of the Hours every day; meatless Mondays or wednesdays in addition to Fridays; getting up earlier so I can get in morning prayer before I leave for work.
