My friend Irene made me a mix CD in high school, and it's one of the few cds that have been in my car forever.  I've been listening to it a lot lately (lots of good upbeat, classic songs).  This morning on the way to work I enjoyed the lovely "Ave Maria" Sister Act style.  Woot ( Read more... )

Well.

I joined the James River Women's Rugby Football Club!  I saw a sign when I was in Carytown with TM the other day and I pointed it out and he said, "you should join!"....and that was all the encouragement I needed =).  I looked 'em up online, emailed the president, and showed up to practice on Thursday.  It was fun!  I can't remember ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I had to go to a Catechist Training workshop at the Diocesan office.  EW.

I didn’t know what to expect, but I tell ya-I wasn’t expecting it to be so bad.  The morning session (9:00 am - 12:30 pm) was titled “The Vocation as a Catechist.”  During this 1.5 hour-long presentation, we learned: 1) the qualities of a catechist 2) ways to ( Read more... )

I’m digging that Rilo Kiley song at the moment (it’s titled “I Never”).  It’s smooth, easy, and soulful.  Amen, Jenny.  I can’t get enough of Rilo Kiley at the moment.  Actually, all the music that The Soysage (still trying out nicknames) has given me has been great.  I’m reeeeallllly into the Avett Brothers, too (check out the Ballad of Love & ( Read more... )

Friday night: sooooooooo fun.

Got all dolled up (was uber tired though!) for port & choco with The Main Squeeze.  He got all dolled up too.  We were basically the best dressed couple in RVA that evening.  <3<3<3!!

We sat at the Confederate War Memorial Chapel (you can see the benches we sat on in that pic!) and I whipped out my ( Read more... )

Yesterday ended up being waaaaaay more productive than I expected!

When I got home from work, I sat on my couch to unwind to an episode of “Make it or Break it”-my new bad tv obsession.  It’s about gymnasts…how can I resist?  I spent 9 good years of my life in a leotard, baby - I earned the right to watch this ABC Family drama.

I promptly fell ( Read more... )

Just got back from lunch =)

TM rode his moped down from Richmond (!!!) to meet me at work to go out for lunch.  I showed him around the church and then we hopped in my car to go to Java Mio’s in Petersburg - about  4 miles south of St. Ann’s.  Turns out it’s closed =(.

BUT

Old Town Petersburg is SO COOL.  Most of the buildings were built in the ( Read more... )

Yesterday.  Hum.

I got up early and went for a 2 miler.  Eh, nothing special.  I ate like a glutton the night before, so I was feeling guilty.

Had some leftover indian food for dinner (yum!), and then binged on cookie dough.  So, that’s another thing to add to the “do not buy” list: cookie dough.  Ice cream is on there too (can’t keep it in my ( Read more... )

Monday I took the day off.  I realized that my weekend wasn’t much of a weekend - it was 2 superfull days of galavanting and merrymaking.  Well-spent, but exhausting.

I was supposed to run 45 min on Sun, but since I had company and all I switched it with Monday, which is my off day.  I ran 45 min last night - 4.5 miles!!! I’ve NEVER gone that far ( Read more... )
