She’ll be comin’ round that mountain

Oh HEY!! I’m here! In Colorado! In my own hotel room like an ADULT, yo!! How was the trip? Well, take-off was rough, but I was sitting in a row with two kidlets, twins, nine years old…and it was hilarious. They had approximately a million questions about everything, but I felt like a qualified adultContinueContinue reading “She’ll be comin’ round that mountain”

Old(er)

Is this even news? Today is my birthday. Happy birthday. I think I’m just going to write approximately three hundred words and call it a happy day. Several minutes of brain-on-page, go. I feel like I turn older on January 1 every year, not April 4 although I am undoubtedly older today, just as IContinueContinue reading “Old(er)”

What I Wore Wednesday–my newest skirt

This is it. This is the corduroy skirt that took a bit o’ emotional energy and real-life energy with it. Vintage pattern missing from the envelope, me making up a pocket pattern, me accidentally cutting something improperly with the fabric-pattern facing the wrong way…whew. No one said it was easy. I’m typing as my friendContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday–my newest skirt”

So, I’m going to Colorado

And I think that April 1st is probably the worst time to announce plans because no one believes you, right? My small consolation in this is that somehow the time stamp on my blog is off…it’s set in, like, Philippines-time so by the time I publish on Tuesday evening this will show up like itContinueContinue reading “So, I’m going to Colorado”

Mind-blowing thinks about the Evangelical counsels

Once, when I was little and sharing the room with Christine (dewd, some things don’t change), she was not falling asleep and I could tell, so being the older/ wiser sister that I was/ am, I asked, “Christine what’s the matter?” She was like, “I don’t understand it! I know that God created everything, butContinueContinue reading “Mind-blowing thinks about the Evangelical counsels”

That one time St. Joseph broke it down for me

So, I started writing this on the feast of St. Joseph, but it ended up being too long. So, I’ve split it into a few posts to avoid TL;DR. Enjoy. The theme of this post is mustard yellow. Mustard yellow is different from the bright, lemon yellow or the straight Crayola variety; mustard yellow isContinueContinue reading “That one time St. Joseph broke it down for me”

The most blest among women

Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. In simpler terms: it’s the day we celebrate when the angel appeared to Mary and Mary gave her “yes.” In even simpler terms: 9 months prior to Christmas. The church knows what’s up, even though you might need to ask your mom. All I have to share isContinueContinue reading “The most blest among women”

Post of happy things. Like smiles and laughter and silly shrugs.

My past few days have been full of my car failing and failing and failing again and my hair getting to that point of “HAIRCUT. NEEDS. TO. HAPPEN” but I’m trying to get the cut to wait another week and my body being like, “Is this a good time for a cold? Maybe? I thinkContinueContinue reading “Post of happy things.

St. Joseph is the man

I was going to write a blog post yesterday. March 19, Feast of St. Joseph. I had it outlined in my head, ready to roll. And then when I started my car the RPM gauge started jumping around/ the vehicle was accelerating without my assistance/ weird noises and I made the decision to leave myContinueContinue reading “St. Joseph is the man”

New kicksssssssssssss

So, I work this job and stuff and I’ve heard that nurses will share that the seasons of the moon affect the people they work with and HOLY COW TODAY WAS JUST A FULL MOON KINDA DAY, friends. And I was like, “My brain is fried. Perhaps a story will reveal itself for the blog.”ContinueContinue reading “New kicksssssssssssss”
