Literally the most hipster outfit. I visited Lauren this weekend and she said they don’t really have a huge hipster population just yet. Well, hipsters are strongly settled in Detroit. And, truth to be told, I think hipsters are darling. The jumper makes this outfit, I bought it a few weeks back at a rummageContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: the most hipster outfit”

Weekend excursion: in photos
Remember that I went away for the weekend? To Indiana? Here are some photos, kidlets! I was visiting my friend Lauren for the weekend. I met Lauren maybe in third grade? Fourth grade? We were definitely Pioneer Girls together at Lauren’s church, Pathfinders workin’ on our balancing badge, I think? If memory serves, we wereContinueContinue reading “Weekend excursion: in photos”
Quick Takes Friday!
No photo post. It’s who I am. — 1 — Things I’ve done this week include: locking my keys in the car. I’ve always hoped this was a phase I’d outgrow. APPARENTLY NOT. I even have a spare set in my wallet….or, I did. Once I realized my keys were on the front seat ofContinueContinue reading “Quick Takes Friday!”
My sassy-pants match my short hair, fellows
Hey friends, This kind of strays from my usual themes of Jesus/ secondhand shopping/ snacks…but, it’s what I’ve been thinking about, so it’s what I’m writing about. Namely this: short hair. As I recently revealed on the blog, I’m the proud and lucky recipient of a fantastic haircut (love to my girl Kristen!). It’s fun,ContinueContinue reading “My sassy-pants match my short hair, fellows”
What I Wore Wednesday: complimentary color and hair reveal, yo
So, at one of the weddings I attended there was this other female guest wearing a teal/ cyan-y dress and a coral-orange necklace. And each color made the other color POP. She looked great, and I wanted to try to show you: I’ve been thinking about that combo and complimentary colors for a while andContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday: complimentary color and hair reveal, yo”
Year of Faith Catholicism to the max. Prepare to be overwhelmed.
Two Sundays ago I attended mass at the large stone-and-marble Shrine across the city from my house. I went there because I honestly thought the Year of Faith ended this week instead of a few days later still, and I needed to fit in my favorite indulgence-option of the entire Year-of-Faith deal: renewing of yourContinueContinue reading “Year of Faith Catholicism to the max.

Black Bean, Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili
Remember when I was going to post gluten-free recipes on this here blog? And then three hundred years passed and I didn’t? I apologize for that. Now, I have a cousin who started a new food blog. Yay! More recipes. And she even posted one that was meat-free/ gluten-free, so I decided to test itContinueContinue reading “Black Bean, Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili”
Conversations which took place on Halloween 2013
A sample of conversations from today. Director to me: I assume you’re supposed to be dressed as something. Me: Yes! I’m a gypsy. Director: They’re not called that anymore. Me: I know, so I’m actually a Together: ROMA. Director: For the Romans. My boss: I didn’t even realize you were dressed up. Side note: DidContinueContinue reading “Conversations which took place on Halloween 2013”
Quotes I like. Also: Arts-n-crafts!!
Today I made some arts-n-crafts. Quotes that I like for a friend who had a full, rough year. I would have made more, but I ran out of glue. But, it made me wonder… …which are your favorite quotes? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to talk to DJ. And one more:
Many times when I’m in the chapel, I’m not “praying”
“Praying” in quotes in the title. So, I like hanging out in the chapel. I think you’re supposed to go there to pray. And I believe that most people are praying while they’re there. I was taught that praying is “talking with God” and I really like praying, actually. But I’ve notice something about myContinueContinue reading “Many times when I’m in the chapel, I’m not “praying””
