Hold Me Like Holy Water

At long last, a day apart from work. It was beautiful. I helped my aunt set up her classroom for part of it, and relaxed for the other part. It was very nice, and well-deserved.

So, World Youth Day has begun, and it looks like it's going well. I watched the reception of Pope Benedict XVI into Koln on EWTN this afternoon (it was an encore), and then on Life on the Rock they had a bunch of interviews and updates from WYD. It seems like it's going quite well - which is wonderful. I would have loved to go, but I was just in Germany in January, and upon returning to America I realized that it would be kind of ridiculous to expect to go back to Europe so quickly, especially so close to the date when school begins. Maybe next WYD...you just never know!

So, only 2 more days of work, plus a night of babysitting, and I'm done with the "work" part of summer. Beautiful. Then I begin the "pack" part of summer. Not so beautiful, but exciting nonetheless, because that means school starts soon!! I cannot wait!!

And on a random note: I bought tortillas tonight. And on the package it said "Refrigerate after purchase". How do the tortillas know they've been purchased? I mean, they were on a shelf in the store...so what's the difference between the shelf in the store and the shelf at home? I understand "Refrigerate after opening"...there are plenty of reasons for that directive. But "after purchase"? Explain that one to me. I'm perplexed.

One week until Loras!!
