The most stuff, right? The weekend with a lot of things, a lot of people, a lot of chores to be done and things to be executed just so. Mouth ulcer just thinking about it. Then this happened. I was driving to work this morning, and I remember swiping the key-card that admits me toContinueContinue reading “God is good to me”

Fast post! Beautiful things!
Guys!! I know that there are a million things to do before this weekend (my sister just said, “Nell!!! We have so many things to do this weekend!”) BUT, I feel compelled to post a few things, so I will. (Maybe because I feel guilty if I don’t. Catholic guillllllllllt, ya’ll. Make a joke aboutContinueContinue reading “Fast post! Beautiful things!”
Livin’ life, taking names
Is it fair to tag this post with a bit of “photography” even though I don’t really have photography skills to speak of, I just snap shots of things that I find breathtaking? Like above, for instance, the glare of the water being shaded by the trees, opening up to the jewel-toned leaves in theContinueContinue reading “Livin’ life, taking names”
Cheers.
I have this one friend who is way cooler than me, and way holier and way more popular and way more educated and everything (and older! ahhahaha!). So, I called him last night. I was ready to say, “Yeah, I’ve got all these things in my life, but I’m not 100% sure what I’m supposedContinueContinue reading “Cheers.”
Lalka
My mom has a friend named “Mirek,” but the name is Polish, not English, so it’s pronounced more like, “Mee-dehk.” When I was a little girl, I was afraid of Mirek. You see, Polish is a soft and endearing language; but the Polish accent, attempting English, is forceful and rough. Plus, he had a mustache.ContinueContinue reading “Lalka”
Catching up
People have been like, “So, what’ve you been up to?” and I’m just like, “geez, I don’t even know.” But! I do have some photographs, photographs of stufffff. And I can fill you in on my family and the like. Like, not last Friday but the Friday before I was in a little improv comedyContinueContinue reading “Catching up”
Seven cute things about guinea pigs
So. Today I was crocheting. I crocheted a scarf. And it’s beautiful (mostly). I was looking at what started as a ball of yarn and ended up as a fluffy scarf with the use of only a plastic hook, my brain, my hands, and a few dedicated twists and I was like, “Well, dang, IContinueContinue reading “Seven cute things about guinea pigs”
Such words. Much length. Very racial injustices and how I don’t know how to love as I should
Monday I went running. I ran the farthest I’ve ever run, which isn’t actually far, only five miles, because Christine is training for a half-marathon and I’ve been training for the halves of her half-marathon so that when she runs the loops twice, I only run them once. Don’t judge. It’s my own form ofContinueContinue reading “Such words. Much length. Very racial injustices and how I don’t know how to love as I should”
State of the Union, 2014
So. It’s birthday time on the blahg. WAIT A SECOND, before you jump to conclusions: is isn’t my birthday, it’s the blog’s birthday. Happy birthday, blog! I’ve been writing for two years now, which is weird to think about. Because when I started I was kind of like, “Will I have enough of the thingsContinueContinue reading “State of the Union, 2014”
I think it’s funny that there are people who think I should have a thigh gap
Julia threw down some serious awesome in my inbox early in the weekend, and I asked her permission to share. For real. I just had this hilarious moment where I loved my body and I laughed in the face of anyone who’s ever insinuated I should be anything else. I love being strong! I loveContinueContinue reading “I think it’s funny that there are people who think I should have a thigh gap”
