Recipe for Holy Week

Here's my game plan - may God guide and protect me!

Sunday - eat fish (sushi?), finish editing prayers in Garage Band and transfer to itunes (load onto both ipods), go to Bridegroom Matins

Monday to Wednesday - eat xerophagy (basically, eating raw foods) for dinner, go to Bridegroom Matins

Thursday - go to Mass with students and try to stay focused. Lunch and cooked meal before Gospel Reading (don't take lantern - I can never get the Holy Flame home without burning myself). Stay up till midnight

Friday - go to all services and during a break, procure brown eggs for dyeing (that is my secret for a nice dark red egg - start with brown ones) and anything for Pascha baskets, stay up till 2 am dyeing eggs and baking bread (and listening to Akathist and Pre-Communion Prayers on ipod). Sleep in next morning.

Saturday - Go to service in morning, make quiche, sleep from noon to 7:30 pm. Get up, get stuff ready for church (listen to Pre-Communion prayers on ipod during this time), go to church...

PASCHA!!! Stay up till 6 am having a wonderful time rejoicing in the feast. Then go to sleep and get up around 10 for more festivities!

Here is hoping Holy Week will be a blessed one for you too:)

Garage Band prayers?!?

Yes! Garageband is this totally cool program on Macs that allows you to record yourself singing, etc. You can edit yourself too (and enhance your vocal quality:). So, Lance and I have recorded our prayers and listen on our ipods in the car before church - we are multitasking.

What is super cool too is it has a tuning fork function and you can sing at the computer and it will let you know if you are flat or sharp or spot on! Great way to practice scales:)
