But, even if He does not…
Every day I’ve been praying my Christmas novena, repeating the words the fifteen times I’m supposed to. I pray it in the kitchen or in church or in bed, on my fingers or my rosary or my bracelet’s beads, praying about the “hour and moment at which the Son of God was born,” and thatContinueContinue reading “But, even if He does not…”

Prepaaaaaaaaaaare ye
I wrote to one of my friends today, “I feel like this week is just one long day where I happen to keep changing clothes” and it seriously feels that way–late, late nights of community service all week long, and the next two nights aren’t any different. In fact, I’m supposed to be giving twoContinueContinue reading “Prepaaaaaaaaaaare ye”

There is no title. I’m too tired.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO STARE LONG AND HARD INTO THE FACE OF EMOTIONAL-EATING?? Allow me to present my dinner: This is how I respond to long days, apparently. Last Sunday, when I went on a hike, I decided to snap some photos, “in case I ever needed them.” Well, guess what I need today? SomeContinueContinue reading “There is no title. I’m too tired.”
“T” is fo’ THANKSGIVING
Is it totes lame when bloggers are like, “Look at these photos of this one day”? Probably. And, also, since I was tired about halfway through this day, it doesn’t even feel that warm or fuzzy for me, so we’re just going to knock this out and knock it out fast. Thanksgiving, you ask? IContinueContinue reading ““T” is fo’ THANKSGIVING”
Position open: Cousin
Sunday was beautiful, so I decided to go for a hike. I was like, “Maybe I can ask a friend, and they’ll want to hike with me.” But, Julia is in grad school. And Hanna is now moved away. So instead I hiked alone, and I thought about that miserable time Hanna and I walkedContinueContinue reading “Position open: Cousin”
I’m not above the crazy hippie things
Sometimes, on the Feast of the Presentation, the priest will be like, “Anna was like that old lady at church. Every church has one, you know? She’s always there, blah blah blah” and everyone kind of laughs and nudges each other and I REALIZE THAT THAT’S KIND OF ME AND I’M NOT ABOVE THIS BOTTOM-FEEDERContinueContinue reading “I’m not above the crazy hippie things”
