The smoke machine and special effect lighting was, to be honest, a little distracting...

They did sing Christ the Lord is Risen Today -- my favorite Easter hymn. The contemporary service earlier didn't sing the Easter Hymn by (somthing)th Chapter of Acts -- which was my other favorite in the Church in which I grew up.

Should I wait until tomorrow to post something about my church's production number...I mean, service?

The LORD is RISEN!

My last double shift day at both jobs. I traded out and got Sunday night off. So I'm only working 11-3 tomorrow -- my last day at job #1. I asked for Monday off. Last night I got my schedule, and not only am I working at the Alisal Monday and Tuesday, I'm working a double shift. That brings my total count of consecutive working days to:

20.

Can someone tell me...?

Last night we had a Jewish family in a back room celebrating passover. I went home and was thinking of the Easter Chronology, which went something like:

"Ok, so tonight was Passover, so now He's in the garden, and at work tomorrow he'd be on trial for Pilate, and at work tomorrow night he'd be buried and then the next day....wait, just a minute. Tonight's Friday. Isn't Passover then on THURSDAY?"

Can anyone enlighten me. It stays the same day, right? Right? Of course, I did hear one of the kids talking about eating pork enchiladas....

In an effort to feel human again, instead of just a drudging automaton, I went yesterday with Drea for a pedicure and a half hour massage between jobs. Ahhhhh.....

This one's for you Mom. Start running now.

Yesterday wasn't a good day for reptiles. On my walk I stepped across a long black hose on the path. With a rattle on the end. Actually, it was a fully grow black rattlesnake, maybe an inch and a half thick. It must be used to people, because it didn't even look at me as I walked over him.

And then I got home and Cai had brought a lizard in the house. Not a harmless little gecko. This one had scales and horns. No tail though -- I hope it grows back. I picked him up in a towel and took him outside. I hope he survives. The last one that Cai got to didn't... And then I had to find his tail....gross.

More examples of interesting people...

A woman walks up to the desk asking to pay for breakfast. Our breakfast is only for guests. We aren't set up to charge, since it's included. I let the three walk, and she asks to leave a tip. Her big tip for three free breakfasts? $5. People are so obtuse!

The longest-ever day, and it's only just begun.

I over slept this morning. 25 minutes over. And then realized that I'd left my slacks at home, ten minutes away, and needed to let my cats out anyway. So I washed my face, and had no time for makeup. Got in the car, and I'm out of gas. So I pumped $10.02 into my car, handed $10.10 to the attendant and told him to keep the eight cents. Ran home. Threw on slacks and shoes, patted both cats on the head, and ran for my car, I'd left running.

So here I am, hair in a snood, unshowered (and thus, unawake), with makeup thrown on between check outs. Eyes half closed, and sucking down Earl Grey trying to perk up. If only I liked coffee..
