On Retreat

One of the "perks" of religious life is the requirement that you take an annual retreat each year. In what other "line of work" do you have to spend a week away with God every year! This is one requirement I fully endorse! I'll be back next week.

Peace Out

PS: Congratulations to my Jesuit friend Jason and his fellow Oregon Province novices who profess vows today! And to my friend Amy who professes her first vows as a Sister of Christian Charity today as well!

Simpsons Me

Thanks to Natty for the link to the Create Your Own Avatar tool on the website for the upcoming Simpsons Movie (to be released on my 35th Birthday - or July 27, 2007 to the rest of you!).

My brother sent me a link to another website where you can use your actual photo to make a more accurate Simpsons me. I guess I don't have any good close up photos of myself, because I couldn't get that one to work.

I like the one I created today though on the Simpsons Movie site. I'm ready to go to an Environmental Protest - that's why I'm wearing the 3-eyed fish t-shirt. (My fictional Simpsons me is going to the fictional protest - the real life me is going to take our Novice-to-be on a drive today to show her how to get to the retreat center where the Intercommunity Novitiate takes place. It will be a drive down memory lane!)
