Plain Jane Saturday

Not much has happened as of yet this Saturday. I got 10.5 hours of sleep last night, and boy do I feel marvelous! Sleep is important ya know. Once I got up I wrote a paper so now that is all done, minus last minute corrections. I will go to dinner tonight, maybe do a little more homework, and then hang out with one of my friends. Just another Saturday, plain as can be. But I am ok with that. Sometimes you need a little simplicity in your life. Sometimes you just want to relax and have a boring day. That doesn't bother me one bit. A movie even sounds good, and I don't say that often.

I am looking forward to Easter break, and not because I get a break from school. I just love Easter! I love all of the Triduum services (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) and I love Easter Sunday. I love dressing up and I love participating in all of the masses. It is my favorite time of the year. It's warm outside (except for yesterday and today) and everyone is happy. Our fasting will soon be over. I can't wait to eat some desserts! What should I have? I love the smell of Easter (thanks mom for making our traditional food in our kitchen!) and I love the feeling of Easter (nice and clean and purified). Easter really is my favorite time of the year, secular year and Church year. I remember when I was little and my mom would put sponge curlers in me and my sister's hair. We would have to sleep on them, in pain I might add, through the night. The first thing I would do when I woke up was feel my head to see if any of the curlers fell out. Then I ran to the fireplace to see what I got in my Easter basket. Oh I love Easter baskets! I would put on a springtime dress with nice shoes that clicked around (I loved making the click sound with my shoes) and panty hose. And my hair would be nice and curly. Oh the good ol' days! How I loved them! All of our Easter traditions is something that I want to keep doing when I have children some day. Regardless to say, I am very excited for this Easter. It is coming up so soon and I can't wait! I plan on dressing up and going to all of the Triduum services. You should try it out, too. They are fenomenal. Get excited! Easter is almost here!
