* Such a beautiful, beautiful spring day!
* I made banana nut bread that smells soooo yummy.
* I found a late mass so that N. and I could still go to church together this evening. (Yay, me!)
* I had lunch on my patio.
* My sweet son told me he loved me to 109030 million galaxies and back.

Bat Appreciation Week
I know, I know ... random topic for a blog post tonight. But since the "publish" button and I are having an off-again relationship, I'm pulling a random topic. So bats it is!
I don't particularly care for bats. Their flight is a little too full of awkward breaks and pauses. Chasing bugs is apparently a very staccato sport. Also a low-flying one. I can distinctly remember a few youthful, panicked flights inside when the bats made their evening debut.
That being said, I do appreciate the amount of insects bats can consume. Apparently, a bat can eat a couple hundred insects in just a few hours (thanks, Wikipedia!). That's an awful lot of bugs, which holds great appeal to me, the woman whose blood is irresistible to any mosquito within a mile of me. Maybe I should get over my nerves and invest in a pet bat! Of course, a pet bat combined with my allergy to direct sunlight (not literally ... but I do get a sunburn in the shade!) might lead to some unfortunate associations. But I'd have a good excuse to drink Bloody Marys!
