I think I may be figuring out some of the buttons on blogger. Who would have thought that I would be so dumb? I took intro to computers to college, I should be able to do blogger! Lord, have mercy.
Speaking of the Lord, today a new Pope was elected. I am a fallen Catholic. I guess. I don't know. I still consider myself Catholic because I know nothing else, but 3 of my 4 kids aren't baptized. Going to church is such an ordeal with all of these kids. And my husband definitely isn't Catholic, so he offers no assistance. I actually emailed the church in my town about getting things going, but they didn't reply. Does that mean they don't want me?
Anywho, we Catholics love ceremony, and apparently everyone else does too. I mean, if you aren't Catholic, why would you care who the Pope is? You don't care, but everyone loves a good wedding, and this is the ultimate! Black smoke, white smoke, a hundred people screaming at a dude like he is a rock star. It is fun, even you are laughing at it. I found myself entranced while watching, waiting for the curtains to be pulled back, even though I would have no idea who the guy was. I am not up on the Cardinals of the world. But it was a moment in history I am glad I got to witness, albeit from a world away. Plus, I got my kids to chant Viva il Papa with me. That was 2 minutes of fun we may never have again.
