Three links. These of things to view.

Hey all! Here we are, looking at lovely things! Happy Thursday! OK, let’s just start with the fluffies! Little pudgy piggies! You can view a guinea pig daily…but, I love that their names are posted along with their images. Some of those names, man, are just TOO CUTE!! If you haven’t encountered The Sartorialist yet…forContinueContinue reading “Three links. These of things to view.”

Three links. These of mommy blogs.

Hey all!! It’s time to view more links and more links! Today’s topic: mommy blogs. I am all over these suckers. Especially the Catholic mommy-blogs. I’ve linked her a million of the times, but Camp Patton is an instant classic: funny and beautiful and deathly honest. Oy! How do you feel about sassy-pants? You feelingContinueContinue reading “Three links. These of mommy blogs.”

Three links. These of deep thoughts and poetry.

Hey all, As you know, I’m off for a week of riding my bike across the state. But, to keep things interesting, here are some internet links for you to read. I’ll try to have different topics through the week. Yeah, internet! As you know, my favorite John Blase is the man. I usually readContinueContinue reading “Three links.

Seven Quick takes (in fifteen words!)

New game! What if I kept every description exactly fifteen words? Sound fun? Let’s try! 😀 — 1 — I leave for a sibling bike trip across the state tomorrow.

The lengths I’ll travel for dental health. Or something.

From what I understand/ have been told, there’s a famous short-story by Leo Tolstoy where a series of things happen—some considered “good,” others “bad.” During the course of these events people will comment to the protagonist, “How fortunate!” or “How unfortunate!” and his answer is always something along the lines of, “Who knows if weContinueContinue reading “The lengths I’ll travel for dental health.

These beautiful moment no. 4 | the improptu picnic

The beginning of this needs to be the beginning, otherwise, indeed, I just happened to throw another event and take a photo and, really, you could look anywhere on the internet to find more inspiring food or boy-scout approved bonfires or backyards better-weeded than mine (at the moment. cough). The beginning is that: antsy-me stillContinueContinue reading “These beautiful moment no. 4 | the improptu picnic”

On the wonder of peaches

It’s probably sacrilegious to say this But I feel that eating summer-peaches, Them bursting with sweet and sticky syrup Running down my fingers, face and chin, Is (almost) sacramental. We’re told of the visible signs of the invisible reality And I hear you on marriage, communion, reconciliation, et al. But somehow my spine-craned posture overContinueContinue reading “On the wonder of peaches”

Seven Quick Takes…I think I can!!

— 1 — Guess what I did last night?? PICKED OUT EVERY NOODLE IN A BOX OF MAC-AND-CHEESE OUT OF A BIN OF LAUNDRY. My dad helped me, though. My mother DID NOT. She just stood there and narrated that the pillowcase was a lost cause. Which it was. BUT STILL. — 2 — MyContinueContinue reading “Seven Quick Takes…I think I can!!”

These beautiful moments no. 3

You know what? The weekend was lovely. I took some pictures to remind me of this. So, I read this recipe on the internet, made it once and haven’t stopped eating it since then. Avocados, chick peas, feta, lime juice, and cilantro is the name of the game…but I upped that game and added jalepenoContinueContinue reading “These beautiful moments no. 3”
