It was a nice weekend home with the folks. My husband was put out because when I walked in the door of my house, I started looking for the cat instead of looking for him! My protest was that I thought he was next door having pizza.

Bitsy is a wonderful creature, very loving and talkative. We had several conversations wherein I practiced my Domestic Cat. She cuddled on my lap while we were watching TV, buzzing away. I so miss having a cat.

Saturday we went to the Atlantic City boat show and climbed around on boats for a while. Don't think we'll be trading in this year, though. My mom bought me a new charm for my slider necklace with matching earrings. It's so nice to have my mom spoil me once in a while.

The next day we followed a newspaper article to Berlin, NJ to go to a Latin High Mass. Ever since I was a Latin scholar, I have wanted to go to a Latin Mass, so this was really fun for me. The singing was very lovely, though I could have skipped the choking clouds of incense. Overall, it was a tremendous improvement over the "Buddy Christ" tone of the Masses at our local church, even if the Mass was very very conservative (don't agree with what they're saying, but the Mass itself was gorgeous.) Not like I attend church regularly, but anyway...

Not much done last night but laundry and FFX. Did make burritos for dinner.

I have group meeting this week so if I'm quiet, that's why. Damn.

A Latin mass, I'll bet that was interesting. The local churches used to have latin masses on occassion, but I think they stopped doing that years ago.

Always nice to get to practice one's Domestic Cat and keep the skill up. :) And it's nice to be in the company of a talkative and friendly kitty.

Sounds like you had a good weekend, and got a nice gift. :) That sounded like it was a nice surprise.

Are your parents getting rid of the boat or trading it for a bigger one ?

Good luck on preparing the group meeting. Will you be talking about the conference too ?

My last roommate had a cat, and I miss having her (the cat, not the roommate) around, even though she preferentially gacked on my bedroom floor and left an even layer of hair all over everything. I've been trying to talk Brian into letting me get a kitty, but no luck so far. Maybe after we move...

Good luck preparing for group meeting!!

It was interesting to see how the Mass was celebrated before reforms. I'd always been curious.

Bitsy was very chatty. :)

No, we're not getting rid of our boat; it's a boat-owner-thing to always be looking for the next one. We'd like a larger one but we haven't found one that offers as much as our current model.

I don't plan to talk about the conference, just my (nonexistent) progress. :P

LOL! Isn't it funny how they find your floor as the best place to hork up a hairball... Could be worse, one of the cats I used to live with got mad at me and would piddle on my decorative pillows.

Good luck with getting a kitty. If you find a successful argument, please let me know so I can try it on my husband.

:) Good luck !

Preparing for lab mtgs are so much fun -not.

I'll look for you on ICQ after lunch. If you're not there I'll look later in the week. Have to get some dinner now.
