Avenue Q and Noonday prayer

Dear Gentle Readers-

It's a quiet day here at the house on holy hill--it's 45 degrees outside and stormy. I was supposed to take the car out today and drive around to get to know the neighborhood. I really didnt want to drive in this pouring down rain. Apprently we are supposed to get a bit of hurricane Wilma on Wednesday morning. The 2 heads are off to a long retreat at the cape cod retreat house. Some of the sisters are off at other church services. Some are reading the paper. Some are getting their clothes and rooms cleaned so that tomorrow the sabbath nothing needs to be done. As for some, I have no clue what they're doing. As for me, I've finished a job I didnt get done yesterday for the publicity office and am now blogging up in my room before heading to noonday prayer which on Sunday is at 12.45 instead of the usual noon. There's usually a great meal afterwards.

I'm slowly working my way through my itunes collection. I'm listening to the Broadway show "Avenue Q". As I listen to these songs, I can see my friends the gay,asian lawyer and the irreverant raccoon laughing so hard. (I sure do miss those two --- they were my party crew if you could go so far as to call raccoon and lawyer a party crew. ) So far, some of my favorite songs are---what do you do with a BA in English, the internet is great for porn and It's ok to be gay. Avenue Q for those who dont know is a show done entirely with puppets.

Well, the big event of today is my 2 hour nap that I'm planning on taking this afternoon. Sunday officially ends with everyone gathering to watch the tv show --Extreme Makeover--home edition. Sundays are great because you can stay up late and not worry about getting up at 5am on monday. I didnt sleep very well last night. I had 2 really bad dreams and kept waking up. I slept off and on and it was very hard to get up this morning.

Anyway, gentle readers, I hope that you have a great day. I always like the way a sunday feels, and how time feels different on this day.

Prayers and love to you all,
