Outside My Window
A grey rainy, sleety, yucky looking day. It's been this way since the wee hours of the morning and doesn't look as if it's going to end any time soon.
I am Listening To
The dog snoring while she naps by the window.
I am Wearing
Wool sweater, jeans, thick wool socks, slippers, and an afghan.
I am Grateful For
Blackcurrant Tea and leftover soup.
I am Reading
This and this, and thinking about how to find the balance between them.
I am Creating
A baby sweater, some knitted toy balls, and quilts for Bean and Ben.
I am Thinking
Of all the people I am writing notes to today. Because what better to do on a gloomy day than write notes to friends on sunshiny stationary?
On My iPod
The Golem's Eye by Jonathan Stroud.
Around the House
Painting the downstairs bathroom, which will make it a much pleasanter looking place. Though really, anything is better than plain white.
In the Kitchen
I'm not sure yet, I had to work on Saturday which threw off my grocery shopping schedule and I haven't thought about what to make tonight. In which case it's probably breakfast for dinner, which is quick enough that I can get the shopping in this evening.
One of My Favorite Things
Quiet afternoons curled up on the couch with big cup of tea and some writing and knitting.
A Few Plans for the Week
Painting the bathroom, finishing both quilts, and just keeping up with things around the house.

It's interesting that you mention those two articles in this post. I too have been thinking about them since I read them. Heaven and earth, I guess.
I've given a rather good reason to think abou them lately, the parish closest to us(just down the block) is a very aesthetically ugly parish, which I could get over, but it also has some rather odd liturgical quirks(singing a song about harmony instead of the sign of peace) that, when combined made it a less than ideal choice.
However, sadly, the pastor of that parish passed away a few weeks ago. The diocese hasn't appointed a new pastor(as far as I've heard), so we are praying that the new pastor is one who would inspire some liturgical change in the parish and make it a more pleasant(liturgically) place to attend mass.
