Mah Jongg Day

Today Sherri and I played Mah Jongg at Ceil's house. I just LOVE this game. And I LOVE playing with Sher, Ceil and Joy. So fun!!!! Tomorrow is our Card Club Night and I wonder if we'll have snow. I really hate to miss making cards, but then I love the snow so much. That's the "peasant" in me, my Grandma would say. Because I come from Russian/German peasant stock! And you can tell this by looking at me. Really!! For Lent I've decided (not to give up blogging like Joyeous!! HORRORS) but to give up white sugar and to walk or exercise every day---not matter how I don't feel like it. Because like my daughter----I NEVER feel like it. So I have to MAKE myself do it. Maybe by putting it into a "holy" context, it will help me keep my word. For Lent thou shall exercise daily! I just finished reading Middlesex. Has anyone else read it? I thought it was interesting and good. Right now I'm reading SONGS IN ORDINARY TIME by Mary McGarry Morris. What are you'all reading out there? I also recently read PRAY, EAT, LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert (I think that was her last name). It was VERY interesting. It's almost 2 am and I need to get to bed. I'm very much NOT a morning person. I wish I was, but I'm not. Oh well. Good Night All........

Had a fabulous time yesterday as well. Thank you!

I'm reading The Red Queen by Margaret Drabble and Christian Mystics by Ursula King.

I'm not far enough in either to make an judgments yet though.

I did read The Man Who Was Thursday by GK Chesterton (I tried reading Everlasting Man but it's gonna take another try for that one). It was good. Weird but in a good way. He has a really clever way with words almost too much sometimes but I liked the imagery and even though I figured out the ending, I didn't figure out the ending. Twist!

This is a really good intro to the Divine Office (aka The Liturgy of the Hours):

You are such a reader. Me... not so much. Actually, my only committement this year is to read the entire Bible. I'm in Leviticus and noticing about people given the gift of creating the beautiful and God designed temple and ministers robes.

Enjoy your snow. Put a picture on your blog for those of us who haven't seen any snow this year!

Enjoy your exercise. So good for you!

Love you!
