I begin by stating: I realize that this is kind of irreverant. I then state: I believe that the Holy Spirit will guide the Church in selecting a new and godly leader. Alrighty then. Now that that’s out of the way: it’s possible that I was told to compile images of the twelve “favored” CardinalsContinueContinue reading “Top Three Photogenic Cardinals in the Current Conclave”

Holla at my homegirn Chum), was hired at another, semi-led and prepped food/ loding/ crafts for a retreat, wrote a few monologues, andContinueContinue reading “A bright, bright sunshine-y day”
Perspective
If, last week, you had asked me to buy facial tissues I wouldn’t have purchased the kind with lotion-built-in. I think they’re excessive. Today I have a cold. I stayed home from work and went to the drug store to buy meds and lozenges. And then I went to the tissue section and saw theContinueContinue reading “Perspective”
Christine, Benedict XVI, and me
Last Thursday, emeritus Pope Benedict XVI left St. Peter’s at 8:00 p.m. which was 2:00 p.m. for us here in the U.S. of A.

Looking forward
Some of my girlfriends and I decided that we would like to partake in a “Lenten Retreat.” Only, we didn’t have one we really wanted to attend. And so, we decided to make our own. These particular two girlfriends have talents and pasts that include missionary work, retreat planning, and convent life expertise. What I’mContinueContinue reading “Looking forward”
What I Wore Wednesday
Today I wore YELLOW. I wore yellow because bright and cheerful colors can bring a touch of sunlight to cold and dreary winter days. This sweater was purchased a few weeks ago at the grand thrift-store spree, and I love its shawl collar. It also has pockets! I paired it with grey pin-striped wool pants,ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Wherein Kiwi the guinea pig was claimed as a child of the light
We have a family guinea pig whom we love so much it is incomprehensible. Her name is “Kiwi,” because she is black and brown like a kiwi-bird or a kiwifruit. She also has cannibalistic tendencies and occasionally eats kiwifruit. Anyway! This weekend we had some friends over. The “friends” all happened to be priests orContinueContinue reading “Wherein Kiwi the guinea pig was claimed as a child of the light”
