Friday has rolled around again, which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! Easter is Sunday which means today is Good Friday. Today is actually a religious holiday for me and that means I am not online at all today. I take the day and the weekend for the holiday they are meant to be.
Just what is Good Friday? It’is the Christian holiday that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. As a Catholic it means I will be fasting and having no meat at all when I do eat.
There is no celebration of Mass between the Lord’s Supper, which is on Holy Thursday evening, and the Easter Vigil. There are special exemptions granted for rare solemn or grave occasions. The only sacraments that Roman Catholics celebrate during this time are Baptism (which is only for those in danger of death during this time), Penance, and Anointing of the Sick.
I will of course be having Confession today (penance) and that is pretty much it. Thankfully my priest is wonderful enough to come to the house and give me Confession since it is difficult for me to get out of the house. I am so thankful for that.
Happy Easter
I want to take a few moments and wish each of you a very Happy Easter! If you don’t celebrate this weekend I hope that you enjoy the time with your family, friends, and other loved ones. I am grateful and thankful for each and every one of you!

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I had some frustrations this week regarding my daughter’s college application. It’s hard to get someone on the phone the week before a holiday, apparently. Hopefully next week will be different.
I had a good week, kind of boring but not bad.
It was an overall good week. This week I have been busy preparing for Easter.
This was a busy week. Ran a lot of errands.
It was a relatively quiet week for me…
Busy week and looking forward to the weekend!
I had a super busy week getting ready for Easter think I started too late this year so I have been running around like a crazy woman.
My week has been frustrating. 3 snow storms, to add several centimeters to our already huge snowpiles.
Yet another busy week for me, finishing up the final packing for our move and attending another doctor’s appointment, just for general screening this time.

I’ve had a bad week. On Wednesday we had a bad storm. Basement flooded (2 feet of water) and I’m still cleaning up.
It was a pretty good week. I got a haircut and then my oil chnged.
This week was a bit better than the one before, so I’ll be grateful.
This week was not good – ANOTHER car repair; its been 3 in 3 weeks. I cant keep up financially
My nephew was born last Monday! It’s been a week of babysitting & helping my sister out A LOT! I am tired & slightly sleep deprived but HAPPY! 🙂
I was in San Jose del Cabo Mexico for vacation and it was absolutely heaven!
It has been good so far. The weather is finally looking like it’s turning for the good.
