Friday Five: Hasty Edition

From RevGals...

Whoops! I have been in a family-induced haze these few days, with the July 4 holiday and taking time off while relatives are visiting. So I literally lost track of what day it was!

So rather than make you guys wait even one minute longer for the five, I'll dig up an oldie:

Today, what are you:

1. Wearing
A new shirt! And some shorts (work-appropriate), because it's bloody hot here. 103 yesterday, which is on the very high end of the mercury for us. And cute shoes: my weakness.

2. Reading
As usual, more than one thing. I'm frantically trying to finish Harry Potter 5 before the movie comes out next Wednesday; then I'll have to start 6 in time to finish before 7 is released in a few weeks. But I'm also reading Three Cups of Tea, a fantastic and true story of a man who starts a school in Pakistan. The charity which supports that now network of schools is linked on my blog on the right - check out The Central Asia Institute. Amazing stuff.

3. Eating
Nothing, at the moment, though I am pondering what treats I might find in the church freezer. Hang on a second.

Oh, lovely. I found a square of lemon cake with white frosting. So now I'm eating that.

4. Doing
Blogging. But I should be working on the sermon.

5. Pondering
Also, as usual, more than one thing: what the sermon will be; how the installation of cabinets is going in our house and whether my husband will be satisfied with them (happily, he's home to supervise as he is a raging perfectionist); a beautiful poem I heard on Morning Edition today, from an Iraqi-American poet; what I'm going to wear to a wedding we are attending tomorrow, and whether it will cover last week's brutal sunburn (oops); and now, how many calories are in this square of cake.
