It has officially been forever since I have done one of these. But!! Over the weekend I was in a parade with a friend’s place-of-employment, and a reader (hello, reader!!!) called out to me from the sidewalk, “Helloooo! What did you wear on Wednesday?” ISN’T THAT CRAZY? So, yes. Here we go again. She wasContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Soooo, what’ve we been up to in here??
Why, helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo little neglected corner of the internet! Want to know what’s been hip-hop-happening for me? Well…SURE. I can fill you in. I can tell you about my life. Please, please, pull up a virtual-chair. -1- I’m planning a trip to see the Pope when he visits Philadelphia this fall. WOO HOOOOOO. Planning these thingsContinueContinue reading “Soooo, what’ve we been up to in here??”
May is magical. It is. You cannot convince me otherwise.
So, I mean, we’ve been all over the map weather-wise, and I’m not too keen on that life. But, still…May, you guys. It’s crazy. Do you remember winter?? I do. We had days upon days upon weeks of negative temps. And everything was covered in ice and snow. Everything. And now we have…flowers. HOW. YouContinueContinue reading “May is magical. It is.

Paul is Paul
Yesterday morning. Me, rustling around the kitchen, packing for lunch. Paul doing Paul things. Me: Who is your best friend, Paul? Paul: Mmmmmm….Jesus. Me: Oh. Who is your second-next best friend? Paul: Mmmmmmmmmm…Kiwi. Today he sent me a Snapchat of hanging out in a hammock. THE SCALLYWAG. I was still at work doing hoodrat stuff.ContinueContinue reading “Paul is Paul”
Testing the promises of my 48-hour deodorant
Yep. Went to the wedding. I finished my dress in time and I prayed and partied like the experienced wedding-goer I am. So beautiful of a wedding. Touches I especially loved: the flower girls giving flowers to the people on the ends of each pew and the bride and groom giving each mom a roseContinueContinue reading “Testing the promises of my 48-hour deodorant”
Sewing Shenaniganz
Dude. I have a wedding this weekend. But, it’s not my wedding. Although, the director of the department did call out to my open-office environment last Friday, “Hey, Nell, when’s your wedding again?” All of the heads turned. Me: “Ummm, it’s not my wedding. I’m just going to it. To dance and stuff.” So, yeah,ContinueContinue reading “Sewing Shenaniganz”
An urban parable
True story, bro. But, in parable form. Hollah. A road had some buildings. The buildings were stone and cement and concrete, and tightly compact. A wayfarer’s journey brought her to the front stoop of one of the buildings. A woman passed by and saw the wayfarer. “Do you know the man who works here?” TheContinueContinue reading “An urban parable”
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
“I didn’t sleep well last night,” I told my mom this morning. And that was a true statement. Usually I sleep soundly and well and that’s a grace and I know it. But, not last night. Last night I tossed and woke up and couldn’t fall sleep and flailed some more. “You know when youContinueContinue reading “Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz”
More family life family time
What it’s like having siblings in the medical field: On Sunday, in the wee hours, I caught a terrible and relentless virus. (I think? I have no other explanation.) At the sound of my dry heaving (so gross so gross so gross!) illness. Sister: What’s going on? Me: *pant pant pant* I think I’m sick.ContinueContinue reading “More family life family time”
Adventures (misadventures??) in the Volunteer State
Okay, okay, okay! So, blah blah blah I ran a half-marathon and I 100% realize that that’s treading in questionable territory of rescuing dogs and becoming a vegetarian where it’s slightly socially acceptable until it becomes all that person talks about, and then you’re all like, “Yeah, yeah, get on with your life.” I know,ContinueContinue reading “Adventures (misadventures??) in the Volunteer State”
