Tuesday Anticipation, March 13, 2012

This week I'm anticipating:

• Tackling a big school project
• a day spent shadowing an RN
• hanging out with family
• diving back into our study of Romans at House Church
• lots and lots of quiet
• editing some photos
• time on the bus listening to audio books

What are you looking forward to this week?

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 204

Today's Daily 5:

1. Mondays with no classes
2. Finally seeing the new penguin exhibit at the zoo
3. spending the morning with a friend and her son, "my favorite date"
4. playing with photo editing features in iphoto
5. ordering pizza - it fed me supper, and will give me lunch all week

Monday, Monday

Y'all, it's the weekend, and I fell asleep last night before I could write a post for today.

And then, this morning, I headed to the zoo quite early with a good friend and her son, and spent several hours walking around, taking pictures.

So, no big post today, and back to the regular schedule tomorrow.

Hopefully I can show you some photos from the zoo later this week!

(Have I mentioned lately how thankful I am for Monday's off this semester?)

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 202 & 203

Yesterday's Daily 5:

1. sleeping in
2. a quiet, highly productive morning
3. laughing with my sister in law while beginning to assemble all of her kitchen cabinets
4. subway for supper
5. just a bit of chocolate

Today's Daily 5:

1. Sunday mornings - definitely my favorite feature of the week
2. episodes of The West Wing on DVD
3. another random encounter at the bus stop - this time an eastern european man named Victor started with asking me for the time, and about daylight savings, told me I was radiant, asked my name - all of this seemed innocuous enough.  BUT... he held my hand way too long, stroking it with both of his when we shook hands, asked my age, and even after I refused to tell him, invited me to come home with him sometime.  When I still politely refused, he reached over, stroked my hair, and went on his way - he wasn't even waiting for the bus!  Apparently I was so radiant that he felt compelled to stop!  Totally creepy, but still something that made me laugh today!
4. attending a semi-professional hockey game - I actually mostly despise hockey, but the chance to attend with a dear friend who doesn't care all that much more than I do provided loads of opportunities for laughter, mocking and people watching.  It was pretty much fabulous!
5. spending hours and hours with a dear friend, talking, eating, laughing, ranting, mocking, celebrating - a good way to spend a Sunday evening.

Blue Like Jazz

Blue Like Jazz, the movie, opens next week, and I wanted to share the official trailer with you all.  I think it looks fabulous, and I'm definitely hoping it will come to Canada.  If it doesn't, well, then, I'm jealous of those of you who get to see it in a theatre!  Go check it out, and then drop me a note to let me know how it was!  I loved the book, I supported the record-breaking Kickstarter project to fund the movie, and now I can't wait to actually get to see the movie.
