In all honestly, I usually stay in my PJs and staunchly refuse to wash my hair on Boxing Day. But, this year my mom and I are going to check out post-Christmas (even though there are actually twelve days of Christmas, and retailers don’t understand liturgical seasons) sales on UKULELES. Santa brought me some cash,ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday…the Boxing Day edition”

Merry Christ-FISH ornament
My blog! I did not mean to abandon you…it’s just, I’ve been doing Christmas-y/ Advent-y things that have occupied my time. One of them is this FISH ORNAMENT. So, on my padre’s side of the family we draw names for Christmas presents. One of them is for this uncle, Uncle Jim. Sooooo, in that pictureContinueContinue reading “Merry Christ-FISH ornament”
What I Wore Wednesday
Today was the day I had to seize. Work, lunch-with-my-girn, blog post, make GF dinner, eat GF dinner, blog post numero dos, go retrieve my glue gun, shop like mad, package things for gifts, and go to adoration. And I’m only, like halfway done with that list. I’VE STILL GOT TIME. Anyway, I knew IContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
For my grandma, who taught me to dance
If my grandmother was alive, either yesterday or today would have been her birthday. Except, I don’t remember and my mother can’t exactly place the date either. So, we’re going with today. Happy birthday, Grandma D. This post deserves a disclaimer, lest you believe me to be something I’m not. I dance, but I don’tContinueContinue reading “For my grandma, who taught me to dance”
Bridging Advent Hope, Love, and Joy
The theme of Advent week #1 was “Hope,” week #2 was “Love,” and this week we have “Joy” or “Rejoicing.” The readings at mass this past week have been about (for the first reading) the words of the prophets to the people of God and (in the Gospel) St. John the Baptist. I think it’sContinueContinue reading “Bridging Advent Hope, Love, and Joy”
What SHE Wore Wednesday–Julia
This smiling face is not me, even though people have made that mistake in the past. This is Julia, the girlfriend of my baby-brother, Josh (and, for the record, he calls her “Julia-Ghoulia.” Because he’s a goober). Because it’s nice to have context: she’s an architecture student, is the only person to ever make meContinueContinue reading “What SHE Wore Wednesday–Julia”
Beebee sheeps, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a coloring “contest”
Mt 18:12-14 Jesus said to his disciples: “What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over itContinueContinue reading “Beebee sheeps, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a coloring “contest””
Monday luv
Setting: Second week of Advent. Theme: love. And all I can do is sit here and think about how much work there is to be done. I’m thinking, “I don’t have time to write! I must make Christmas cards and buy gifts and make food and plan events!” But then I thought, “Maybe these kindContinueContinue reading “Monday luv”
Fast Friday Facts!
Everyone! I’m participating in the “Seven Quick Takes” for Friday…just because. Woo hoo! — 1 — It needs to be known that I have a super cute guinea pig. Super cute. She greeted me at the door this week, on Paul’s shoulder like a little pirate-parrot-hybrid. — 2 — Yesterday was the Feast of St.ContinueContinue reading “Fast Friday Facts!”
What I Wore Wednesday
I have this cousin a million times removed who lives in California. Once she came to visit us when we were still kids. It was summer and I was hanging out with my cousin, Bekah. Somehow the topic of “chapped hands” came up. Homegirl from California didn’t know what we were talking about. My cousinContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
