I made this. My mom doesn't really like it. I kind of like it, though. It's like a simplistic version of the St. Benedict medal.
Saturday of fun
What I did Thursday
So, it's pretty likely that I have funny, talented friends and that someone approached me and was like, "Hey, I'm throwing an event. Could your improv troupe come and perform?" And I was all, "Ummm, I don't really have an improv troupe...but, OK!" And then I picked some of my favorite teammates and asked if... Continue Reading →
What I Wore Wednesday
Today I'm wearing a vintage dress I bought at a church rummage sale. The fabric is light and summer; it's covered in outdated-yellow polka dots that are speckled with an occasional teal. I think this dress is fantastic, even though it isn't a perfect fit. The light-weight material is PERFECT for the summer. The flow... Continue Reading →
Five Wedding Shower pointers from the Flower Girl
I feel like I could have earned the girl scout badge for wedding-participation this weekend. Shower on Friday, wedding stuff day on Saturday, another shower on Sunday. That's three couples/ three weddings...one weekend! Now, I attend the wedding showers with my dear sister Christine. In true form, we usually attend and then chat out our... Continue Reading →

La la la. --- 1 --- Yesterday we had a lovely gathering for people who walked the Camino with us...both this past summer and the past time around. Bob provided a lovely... Continue Reading →
Happy Colonoscopy!
Soooo one of my super awesome coworkers is going in for the party that is a medical procedure. Woo hoo. I made said-coworker this card, utilizing e-card magic and my own sense of humor. I expect a call from Hallmark any day now.
Monday, Monday. Wherein I ask for input.

We were both sitting outside listening to some jazz at an outdoor stage when he inquired about the soup I was eating (recipe link, thanks... Continue Reading →
Confessions of a Reluctant Devotee
Blah, blah, blah. I started typing out the history of my faith life just now. But I bored myself and figured that wasn’t a good sign. Someday if we meet in real-life, real-time, we should go out for gluten-free pizza and talk about our experiences of faith and I’ll elaborate there. But, not here. Instead... Continue Reading →
My friend, St. Maximilian Kolbe
Today is the Feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe. It snuck up on me, it did. I know that his Feast day is August 14th, but I finish my Marian Consecration tomorrow and so I was focused on that instead of thinking about today. And yesterday as I sat at the kitchen table with Christine... Continue Reading →
