On Friday night I went out dancing. And, maybe this was a bad idea. Because on Monday I had to take a sick day and my mom said to me, “This is your own fault, you wore yourself out, I hope you remember this in your future.” And, maybe it was my fault. But, moreContinue reading "Non-judgmental granola bars"
HPY BRTHDY, TWNZ!
There are twins in my family—Paul and Christine. And whenever someone says they have twins in their family, or maybe they are a twin themselves, I always say, “Oh! I have twins, too!” But then I back-track and say, “Well, I mean, I have twin siblings.” I don’t want it to sound like I haveContinue reading "HPY BRTHDY, TWNZ!"
Stained with salt
One of the hard things for me is expressing negativity. And it’s not that I don’t experience hard times and dark days, because I do. I just have a hard time saying words that express that, or piecing together the phrases that mean, “so, like, today, I can barely remember what hope feels like,” becauseContinue reading "Stained with salt"
What I Wore Wednesday
So I was driving to work-y stuff today, though Detroit, and I came across this dewd strutting proudly across the street like he didn't give a good American darn. When he got to the Boulevard and the light turned red and there was no one behind me I snatched this photo. DETROIT IS SO COOL!!Continue reading "What I Wore Wednesday"
Here are some things I’ve been making
First off: this burger from this blahg. It's vegetarian and made out of quinoa and eggs and cottage cheese so, really, tell me how to make it more protein-y without stuffing it with steak and stuff. I dare you. And all you meat-eaters can remember this: Fridays in Lent are meat-free anyway. You need someContinue reading "Here are some things I’ve been making"
Burger night!
It was burger night and I went and I ate a salad because I'm meat-free and that was my only option, man, plus some sweet potato fries. Prior to being gluten-free I ate fries: never. After being gluten-free--hand 'em over. And then I took this blurry photo and posted it up in here instead ofContinue reading "Burger night!"
Matters
"And it doesn't matter," I said, "but they took away a project that I enjoyed, that I was good at. I mean, all the time I would be told I did a great job, and I felt like I did, too." And I paced some more. He made a noise like, "Oh." It's one ofContinue reading "Matters"
Print on print/ brown on brown
On Sunday I went to mass and some teenagers were doing a great job lectoring. Homegirl second reading (I think) went up to the ambo with a polka dot shirt and a striped skirt and I was like, "Shut the door, girl, you're making it count." Because all of the people know that I'm proContinue reading "Print on print/ brown on brown"
Family life family time
I live with my family. The direction we’re going is: in Catholic culture, we talk a lot about “community life” meaning, that life when you’re living with other people. And usually the verdict is that it’s hard and rough and requires virtue and more virtue to make it through. Maybe. But, I’m partial to thatContinue reading "Family life family time"
Retreattttt
Halloooooo!! I'm preparing for a retreat tomorrow and Saturday. So, I'm probably not going to say too many things because I'm at that point of, like, "What am I doing?? Was this even a good idea????" aaaaaand you don't need that kind of drama, mama. But, I'm excited. The people attending are great. The speakersContinue reading "Retreattttt"
