Holy Saturday
Seven years ago tonight, I became a Catholic. I loved the long ritual and reading the part about the creation of sea monsters (here's where my dramatic actressy side came out) among other things (hey, I love the surreal aspect) and getting baptized. I also went into the baptismal in my stilettos, obviously my sin nature -- ha! -- asserting itself. We're about to go into ordinary time, the longest part of the year. It's my favorite in a way -- nothing special happening, just day after day. Lent is finished and now I begin another year. I wish I had some giant fortune cookie to let me know what to expect, but maybe not. The last seven years have been fairly dramatic with lots of twists and turns. But I still have my communion gifts -- strangely, none have been lost. These talismans remind me to stay calm, that each day presents a shot at redemption from the worst and best I have to offer.

A baptism in Stilettos. sounds like a great title for a Noir story.
Happy Easter Michelle!
Have you ever considered how fortunate it is that Catholics sprinkle and not dunk the communicant? But none the less enjoy your 7th anniversary.

A Hindu gift for your 7th year.
Michelle,
Creation of sea monsters? Sounds interesting.
Congrats on your 7th year in your religion, and happy Easter!
Hello Doll, Like I always say-- "NEVER surrender the heels as you surrender your soul!" Yay on 7 years, I too am a "lifer". I wouldn't want to know my fortune-too much stress in knowing and trying to change it. Just have a nice big "toonie" and roll with it.!! Happy Easter, babe.
Amen, sweetie! xoxo
Stiletto moment. Who can complain about a Woman, whom wears them ? I have never tried them and more than likely will not, but I do admire a woman who can keep her ballance in them,runing really gets to me. Grace and ballance,I will stick with foot stomping my boots. Happy 7th anniversary,my we all find solice where we can.
I hope those other problems worked themsleves out. You don't need a giant fortune cookie for the future. The worst is behind you,I see only blue sky's. You have a great week,busy lady.

Greeting for the day!!
I just joined this lovely place. Lots of individuals have contributed so many good things here. Please accept my little contribution towards community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you wish to know how to lose 10 lb in a calendar week, you are believably not seeing for a general diet and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a common diet and work out plan, Still this requires a lot of time doing intense cardio workouts and sticking with a strict diet. Here I will draft the exact steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a calendar week.
1. Keep Distance from all fried nutrients for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast every day. (this speeds up up your metabolism)
3. Eat average portions (stop consuming when you are full)
4. Rather than eating 3 huge a meals a day, eat 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod eating after 9 P.M.. When you eat that late your body does not burn off the calories.
6. Have a proper sleep everyday. Not having enough rest causes been proved to be a major element to the body storing excess fat.
7. Use a body/colon cleanse for the 7 days. This will get rid of excessive weight stored around the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I suggest you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is tested to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those people who wish to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic drink.
