Taking a rare day off

It's been forever that I took a day to myself. I have a Dr.'s appointment at 12:30, so that basically shoots the whole day. Instead of going in to work this morning, I went to L_'s class to volunteer. It was so cute. Her teacher got them all doing meditation in a circle, "using their actor's tools" and talking about reaching into their self-control and concentration to relax and calm down.

I was talking to I_ about her favorite holidays. Here is an excerpt:

I: I like Easter because it is all about nature and Christmas because it is all about Jesus. ( She's getting ready for first communion this year, so we are talking about religion more and more.)

me: Well, you know, Easter is a religion holiday too. We remember Jesus dying on the cross and being reborn for us. (I will go into pagan roots of Easter a little later.) So that's whay we give out eggs - they are a symbol of rebirth and new life.

I (without missing a beat): MMMmmmm..... Candy life...
