Running out of time!

I'm obviously not making it to bed at my 10pm goal for tonight. I had so much running around to do that I didn't get home until very late. I just finished dinner.

Here's a great memory. Growing up, my father would play albums of opera and musicals and so forth. I played violin from three years old on, so music was always a part of my life. But some of my best memories of my dad are listening to those albums. Sometimes, we'd even travel to NYC and see them on Broadway or wherever. Tonight, on PBS, they are playing Fiddler on the Roof. It is one of my father's favorites. I still remember him singing "If I were a Rich Man". I can't think of this movie without immediately thinking of Daddy. I called him to let him know it was on, but he was already sleeping after a very very busy day. He said he'd have to catch it next time. Fiddler on the Roof and Car Wash - two movies I can never see, hear or think about without thinking of Daddy. Let's see. What others. There's the operas Carmen and Hansel and Gretel. There's the newer version of Carmen called Carmen Jones. Poetry, classical literature, and classical music. My parents really exposed us to so much that has stuck with me. I'm trying to pass some of that along with my children now.

I'm going to cut this short. I'm exhausted and need to get some rest. I spend most of Friday in the car and it takes a lot out of me. I'll do Bible verses and stuff tomorrow. I know, I owe updated goals and I would like to post my menus and stuff. Oh, I had a great dinner tonight. There's a roasted eggplant and pepper pasta dish from marilu.com, and I made that when I got home. It was so good! I did accidently put too much pepper on it, but it cleared my sinuses. And my hand slipped while I was draining the pasta so most ended up in the sink. But, I had plenty for dinner and left overs for lunch tomorrow. I'll have to make more pasta to go with the last of the veggies. What can I say. It's been that kind of day.
