Laurentina1975 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) 1. Sleep in till at least noon on one occasion, because you'll never do it again. 2. Go to starbucks and down 5 Venti carmel macchiatos at once until you get sick, so that you can effectively train yourself not to crave carmel macchiatos whilst in the convent. Trust me, it works. 3. Eat some Hindu/Pakistan food with Deb before you go. Perhaps by the grace of God, He will bring a nice Indian Sister to cook this when you are at the Convent (wouldn't that be cool?). anymore suggestions? Edited March 29, 2006 by Laurentina1975

Go to your favorite outdoor place [park, lake, mountain] relax, swim, read a book or snooze. Bring along a great lunch and soak it all in. 6. Take one day for a silent retreat...go to Mass, pray, have a holy hour, embrace all that Peace in the midst of the plans and preparations. Mary-Kathryn

OLAM Dad Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 7. Add OLAM Dad to your book of 'people to pray for everyday for the rest of my life'.

Laurentina1975 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 You should go to Coldstone too and eat 4 pounds of cake batter ice cream just because.

Laurentina1975 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 Why not? You'll lose it all during the monastic fast. Sheesh.
HisChild Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Well, that even sounds nasty! I can't eat 4lbs of anything. . .even one of their 'love it' sizes makes me feel like I'm gonna. . . . .errr. . .get sick. Stuff like that is really a treat. Gosh I can't even remember the last time I had ice cream, before I had CS with you!
Laurentina1975 Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 But some super expensive merlot and drink the entire bottle, usually the expensive stuff doesn't cause hangovers.
