So today marks the beginning of lent. I am very excited for this to start. Today was a pretty good day overall. I was able to run outside (you know how it feels when it's about to rain-windy, warm, cool, slightly dark and calm? ) right before it started raining and it felt wonderful. I hung around the house with mom until mass this afternoon and then we went shopping for Eli's birthday presents. I love and hate shopping for my brothers. I love that it means I can pick out their clothes but I hate deciding what to buy. Speaking of buying...mom and I were at Southpark and Borders so you can only imagine how tempting everything was for me to buy. Still, I remained strong! Only 39 more days to go...right? I also went to work and yes I went to work with ash on my forehead. I love to see other people coming in to eat with ash all over their forehead too! Catholics!! I wanted to take a picture right when I got it but that's when we went shopping and then after changing into my work clothes, forgetting it was on my forehead and walking in the rain, the ash kinda smeared and was not as noticeable. This is what was left. Sorry! You can still kinda see it..
While I was doing all that, Kathryn has still been living the life in New York. That sneaky little lady knows that one of my favorite artists is Jackson Pollock and guess what my she did? While at the Museum of Modern Arts check this out:
Anyway, it is time that I begin a new book, time to go to bed, feed Carlisle and time to do lenty stuff.
