If only I had that much energy today, or any day, really. How nice that would be!
In case I didn’t make it obvious enough, I’m super tired today. It was definitely one of your longer weekends. Saturday was spent running errands and running around and then scrambling to put the house in order before the soon-to-be-in-laws arrived. Then we all stayed up till sometime after midnight so we could go to the Easter vigil at church. I was confirmed and had my first communion as a brand-new Catholic. I think I like the grape juice and bread cubes the Presbyterians serve better than the cardboard wafers and wine. At any rate, there was a reception after the service (which started at 8:15 p.m. and ended shortly before 11:00 p.m.) and then after indulging in cake and coffee and juice, we all went home and indulged in strawberry pie with cool whip, courtesy of Ginny. Yummy! Yesterday brought a way-too-early wake-up call at 7:00 a.m. to see what goodies the Easter bunny delivered and then a trip to Gladbrook before an even bigger trip to Elkader to visit Greg’s family. By the time we got home and watched a movie and went to bed, it was somewhere around 10:30 p.m. I’m functioning solely on caffeine today, and not very well at that. Yeesh! Hopefully it will kick in soon.
*sigh* Too tired…Must catch Z’s…
I suppose I had better get back to work, since I have a desk full of it and the tax deadline is only two days away. Hasta la vista…baby!

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
Congratulations on your confirmation! That’s awesome! And I’m kind of surprised they’re still using the wafers. The Catholic churches I’ve been to in the last couple of years have switched over to real bread.
I’ve got a thing about those wafers though. They’re gross and yet sort of… tasty at the same time. It’s an odd feeling. It’s like I like that strange aftertaste or something.
I haven’t actually taken communion for several years, but I remember it well.

Thanks! Yeah, the wafers are certainly…something. The jury’s still out. I have to say, though, it was a little weird going to church and not having communion. We did it once a month in the church I was going to before and it was open; so long as you’d been baptized, you could partake. Now I’ve adjusted to not taking communion, so receiving it will require another adjustment. Huh.
We had a rehearsal Saturday morning so that we would all know what to do that night and we practiced everything, communion included. Wine at 10:00 a.m. on an empty stomach is certainly interesting! I guess I still don’t get the whole receiving-communion-on-an-empty-stomach thing.
