Birth Control Me.

My life has been rather humorless lately.  I tried to drum up some humor on Sunday by going to the Museum of Natural History (Free to Massachusetts residents before 12pm on Sundays!), but I showed up to the door to find out my friends had a change of plans and were running late, so I didn't get a chance to see all my favorite stuffed animals.

We did bop over to East Coast Grill to have "make your own" Bloody Marys.  That made my stomach hurt.  I'm off cocktails for a while.

I then worked like a dog for a few days.

Have you seen this M.I.A. ginger-slaughter video?  Probably.  I feel late to that party.

At least I get to come home to this face:


I did get a chance to visit Mary a few days ago.  She was fullagrace.

Which actually lead me down a path of trying to figure out what "full of grace" really means. I got a bunch of Catholic websites that would be a nice read if you hated your eyes.

It also reminded me of Maria Full of Grace.  Good movie.  Depressing.  If you're ever just feeling TOO happy give it a whirl.

I'm going to wrap this up with an old family photo of a Tom Thumb wedding (this is actually a family photo from my collection).Which is just a creepy tradition any way you split it.  How about a Tom Thumb divorce hearing? While we're playing dress up and make-believe with the children let's go all in.

    Hi Laura! I got google reader. (yet I still got here via FB..)

    Also, re: grace, my understanding as a not so knowledgeable Catholic is, we are made up of two sides, the animalistic/biological (food, sex, survival) and something else which is basically "Grace" - the generous, forgiving, altruistic side which goes against our own self-interest (the Godly side, if you will).

    We try to get closer to grace by exercising that part of ourselves through fasting/abstinence, prayer, and works of charity (at Lent, in particular). It is supposed to help us to be able to love more fully, as Mary did.

    So, Mary full of grace. I have to get out and see her one of these days.

    Also, that MIA video is so unwatchable in parts nowadays.

    Congrats on your google reader. I knew it existed.

    So it doesn't mean she's got an intestine full of condoms stuffed with cocaine? Hmm.

    Mary certainly loves me fully. She elevates my mood every time I see her. Do you have any idea why the Madonna Queen of the Universe National Shrine is standing on Mars?

    Also, I will take you to see Mary anytime you want. Just say the word. I'll drop everything I'm doing.
