May Crafting Challenge!

Way back in middle school I knew a dude named “Gabe,” and he signed up for the Crafting Challenge! (For May. I did complete this in May, by the way…just didn’t post until now). Now, I don’t really see Gabe around all that often…but I did run into him at the family’s Snowball in JanuaryContinueContinue reading “May Crafting Challenge!”

What song would you sing at the Visitation?

This week. Hit a few bumps on the let’s-take-twenty-people-to-Spain road. Over-committed to too many things (and therefore frustrated myself because I couldn’t accomplish all of them and emerge a functioning human being). Didn’t learn my lesson, though, and continued to say “yes”! This is me. So I go to confession all, “Hi. I’m really goodContinueContinue reading “What song would you sing at the Visitation?”

What I Wore Wednesday Girrrrrrrrl

I take selfies, K? And in this one my head is cut off…which is kind of a shame because I just got a really cute haircut. Like Peter Pan. Anyway! I LOVE these shoes. They’re pretty new, but like walking on a cloud and therefore I predict I will live in them. They were onContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday Girrrrrrrrl”

What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera

I left work on Friday in high spirits, I guess, as I took this picture of traffic on my way home. Please note, that blue sky is deceiving. Friday was a night slated for a garden party with girlfriends and crafts and lemonade. Alas, it was too chilly, so I had to move indoors andContinueContinue reading “What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera”

When things don’t go according to plan

Yesterday was Wednesday. Big things that have happened this week: the Oklahoma tragic tornado, the passing of a friend’s family members. And yesterday was Wednesday…when I normally write about clothing. I was going to be so productive. I was going to accomplish things and write posts and go to the funeral parlor and clean theContinueContinue reading “When things don’t go according to plan”

Current status: aware of my mosquito bites

So I spent time with this gorgeous face on Sunday. Together we hiked a mini-Camino. We were banished from the real group (more on that later, alligator). See the lilac picture? It represents a larger theme, you see. Today, in my office I mainly focus on those lilacs…and the shining water. And they were beautiful!ContinueContinue reading “Current status: aware of my mosquito bites”

What I Wore Wednesday

My brother, Paul, unexpectedly mentioned that he wanted to be featured in a “What I Wore Wednesday.” I told him he would be featured THIS WEEK and I figured we were good. That morning I texted him from work, reminding him of this. But then he texted me back saying he no longer wanted to.ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment

Sometimes we joke that our house could be the feature of a television show–all types of characters coming and going, eating our food (even when we’re not home), hanging out and being ridiculous. It occurred to me that I would, for one week, take a photograph of everyone who cycled through the house. I startedContinueContinue reading “People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment”
