Every time I see this bit of vandalized property, my heart smiles: It’s along the road near my house…a road we frequently drive, walk, run, and bike. Someone painted it on one of those boxes used for monitoring light or electricity or who-knows-what. Here: It’s not very big, you see. It’s at the base ofContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Graffiti”

Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue
Sometimes, around my house, things will need to be fixed…but I won’t fix them. I’ll just note they need to be fixed and save that in my brain for another occasion. Case in point: I have a black skirt decorated with numerous (excessive) silver buttons, and the bottom button is missing. Or rather, it’s inContinueContinue reading “Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue”
What SHE Wore Wednesday
Sometimes, on Wednesdays, I’ll find someone who is dressed cute…and I won’t be able to prop my camera anywhere to take my selfies. And then I’m just like, “I MUST FEATURE THAT PERSON INSTEAD.” Enter this girl. RETURN OF THE JULIA!! Here she is, folks. Rocking the same green skirt. 🙂 That’s a fantastic exampleContinueContinue reading “What SHE Wore Wednesday”
Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day
So apparently today is National Lover’s Day. How do I know this? Because I read the internet. May it be known: I am currently flying solo, so this didn’t really impact my life all that much. I continued to read the internet, though, and happened upon this interview upon a blog. I’ll be honest: IContinueContinue reading “Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day”
Camino Announcement–for EVERYONE! :)
So close to Spring!
I wore my spring jacket on Friday. At least, I thought I did. Since my sister and I are so close in age/ size/ awesome (ahem) we have matching coats, purchased the same year (Costco!). Hers has her NAME embroidered on the front so I’m not sure how I mixed this up, but I accidentallyContinueContinue reading “So close to Spring!”
I gave a talk on Tuesday
Last Tuesday I sat in a classroom with Colleen and presented to “baby Catholics”: little young women who are going to be making their confirmations in a few days. We were supposed to be talking about the “Theology of the Body” but, again, they were merely baby Catholics so we kind of started by talkingContinueContinue reading “I gave a talk on Tuesday”
Prepping for a Camino
Yesterday we had one of our first full-blown meetings to prepare for the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage we’ll be taking this summer. Our friend and Chaplain celebrated mass for us which is THE BEST. Nothing like focusing on the most important things. Then everyone chatted and got to know each other briefly. We’ll all getContinueContinue reading “Prepping for a Camino”
Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000
I work relatively normal working hours. This is because I am an old woman with a degree and a steady job. The same cannot be said for the other members of my family, though. I have three siblings who live with me in the same house–all three still at various stages in their college careers.ContinueContinue reading “Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000”
Fun on a Friday
Yesterday evening I had dinner-and-lovely-conversation at this lady’s house. And we were joined by Kathryn and groomsman Dave and Colleen’s man-to-be, Mark. It was one of those nights were everyone is just friends, you know? And we ate wholesome, lovely, homemade food and shared about our lives and Hazel-the-cat showcased her skill of jumping highContinueContinue reading “Fun on a Friday”
