...that's just sort of packed with activities you'd rather avoid and you can't wait until the day is over? That's my day today.


This afternoon, I have to cover a workshop dealing with how to increase the participation of young families in the sacremental life of the Catholic Church. Doesn't that sound exciting?


Tonight, from 6-9 p.m. I have to attend the annual recognition dinner for donors to the high school that our Sisters sponsor. It's one of those hoity-toity, formal dress up, stand around making small talk with people you know barely functions that I absolutely hate.

I'm not complaining and both of these things could turn out to be fun, but I still wish I didn't have to go!

Sounds like fun....not. Just try to find someone to talk about cats with, that should make the evening go faster.

I share your pain! I'll be having one of those days on Saturday: in the morning, J and I have weigh-in and meeting at Weight Watchers, followed by grocery shopping, followed by a hurried lunch, and then I'm off to my future sister-in-law's bridal shower, which I'm not really looking forward to. I know bridal showers are supposed to be fun, but it's just not my thing.

Are those just excuses why you won't be here? We know you really got George's # and have a hot date tonight!

Wow. You've got a crazier day happening than me. I feel for you! Bridal showers aren't my thing either.

You know what's funny? I'm actually more dressed up today than usual (actually wearing a dressy suit) since I won't have time to change before going to the dinner, so one of my co-workers asked if it's because I have a hot date with George. I don't know where people got the idea that I like him.
