whatta week!

Before I talk about the week ahead I will say something about the last weekend.  I was super lucky to have an opportunity to teach at the Career Capades day at our kid's high school.  It was an action packed day with many presentations in all kinds of departments.  I was asked to set up for a workshop and chose to go with monoprinting as it is fast, easy, and quick-drying.  With the assistance of some art students we kept the tables turning over so we could let everyone who was interested come have a try at a painting technique.  Some 'customers' whizzed in and out but there were some who stayed and kept at it, making lots of cool painted prints.  LOVE that I got to witness young kids taking an interest in making art.

There is still time to "Grab a Tissue", then next month we will try monoprinting for the crusades.

And now this week.  OMG.  Love my him, Him, and HIM. him:  it is our 20th anniversary tomorrow!  I am such a lucky girl to have this man in my life.  What a blessing to exchange vows with him and launch a family together.  Life is good.  Him:  this weekend is Palm Sunday.  The beginning of Holy Week.  I remember learning as a kid that the ashes we get crossed on our forehead at the beginning of Lent is from the burned palms of the year before.  I don't know if that's true but I like the connection.  Mom and Dad will be arriving next week to celebrate Easter with us.  And HIM:  the new video was just released…my favorite track on the album too!  Thursday, Fallon and I go to the signing.  (I am frantically preparing gifts right now!)   Friday, Graham and I go to the opening night of the tour.  We are out of our minds with excitement!  Gah!

    about Him — it certainly is true at our church — we do it as a group at the beginning of a Mass, Father Mark ceremonially burns the palms, they are then crushed with a mortar and pestle and put in “the jar” to await Ash Wednesday!!

    Happy anniversary, Michelle! It’s wonderful to share life with a wonderful man.
    I think you’re absolutely correct about the Palm Sunday ashes being the ashes used on Ash Wednesday.
    Have fun this week at the signing and the concert! Carrie is all excited about Saturday night!
