What I Wore Sunday (Vol. 6)

Technically this post should be called "What I Wore to Vigil Mass", but if I had done that then I would have to miss out on the continuity and not be able to add "Vol. 6" to the post title and that was all just a bit too much to sacrifice. Yes, based on that sentence alone you probably have a good idea how well I do during the Lenten season!

I do not prefer attending vigils (excepting Easter and Christmas) but in order for Ben and me to be able to attend mass together we had no other choice, on account of him having to leave bright and early Sunday morning for his big interview. There seems to have been some sort of conspiracy at St. Matthew's today involving pacing : The lector took pauses every few words for dramatic effect, the cantor did not seem to grasp the difference between quarter notes and whole notes, the (very sweet) priest saying mass is foreign, older, and quiet and so that combination alone made things quite a bit tedious, and finally there was the couple who were there to pitch the Spring Marriage Encounter weekend and found a way to make that last for over five minutes (Note : The key to a good pitch is to have good, interesting information that you can relay concisely).

I suppose I was more annoyed affected by these factors because I was (a) hungry and more importantly (b) experiencing real contractions for the first time this pregnancy. Yes, that's right - the night before my husband and my doctor are set to go out of town for a few days is when those bad boys hit. They lasted a few hours after mass but quickly died down after I ate something (Panda Express - because you care) and drank a LOT of water! Here is hoping (and praying!) that they do not return until Wednesday morning at the earliest!

What's that you say? Will I stop my complaining and meandering and actually reveal what I wore? Why certainly!!!
