Weekend Plans

Last weekend didn’t go exactly as planned, mostly because of Pope John Paul II’s death. I spent most of Friday and Saturday crying, moping, or saying the rosary. Let’s hope this weekend goes a little better.

Friday
Sunny, High 79
* Leaving work early to go to an anti-death penalty rally sponsored by Amnesty International. 59 people were executed in the United States in 2004; more than 3,400 people are currently under death sentences. Texas has one of the highest rates of death sentences---both given and executed---particularly because Texas does not have an option for sentences of life without parole.
* Spending the night watching DVDs and reading trashy magazines.

Saturday
Sunny, High 82
* Going to work to make up the hours I skipped to go to the rally.
* Taking the dog to the park.
* Reading about Ghandi.
* Cleaning my apartment.
* Updating my bank records. I don’t even try to balance my checkbook anymore. I just hope I can get it close.

Sunday
Partly cloudy, High 82
* Running. Maybe. Hopefully.
* Church. Maybe. Hopefully.
* Writing. Maybe. Hopefully.
* Going to see a matinee of Off the Map at the Arbor. Maybe.
* Reading. Definitely.
* Napping. Abso-friggin-lutely.
