Let's chat and catch up on thangs! --- 1 --- My sister-in-law is over. She's making curtains and we're catching up. It's glorious. So: I'm a little distracted. --- 2 --- I was textin' about the stuffs with my sister earlier in the week, about life and decisions and what not. About: "Is this aContinue reading "Lets chat five thangs"
For all my ladiez
I don't always post art on the internets. Because I'm not as brave as other artists. So, when I do, it's because I'm being for real. This one first: Once it was someone's birthday. And he had remembered my birthday and he teased me for not remembering his, so I told him I'd take himContinue reading "For all my ladiez"
Dogged insistence on beauty
It started out with this flower. This yellow one right here, growing out of some broken concrete, saturated against the sky. And I was like, I appreciate this flower's dogged insistence on introducing beauty to a broken world. Today I didn't want to be inside for lunch, cramped around my space heater, so I wentContinue reading "Dogged insistence on beauty"
Autumn querulousness
When I was leetle, my mom read us the story of Wind in the Willows--the Mole who left during spring cleaning and the Toad who was enraptured with motor-cars and the baby Otter who was lost one day. As with many things, sometimes those memories come back at funny times. My siblings and I willContinue reading "Autumn querulousness"
Grandparents and faith
Last Sunday was Grandparent's day, which, let's be real, is probably a Hallmark holiday. But, I'm Catholic and it doesn't take much of an excuse to get me to celebrate, so that's just that. My father had a set of parents. His mother died when I was young, so young that memories of the newsContinue reading "Grandparents and faith"
What I Wore Wednesday: print on print on print, ya’ll.
Remember that baby Julia stopped by last week or so like, "I look really cute," so I was like, "STOP BY AND SHOW ME YOUR OUTFIT." She was like, "This is print on print." Julia explained how a woman came into the bread shop where she was hanging out and the woman was wearing printContinue reading "What I Wore Wednesday: print on print on print, ya’ll."
Realities > ideas
Last Advent I went on a small "retreat" where there were poems and reflections I read every day, and then I'd chat with a religious sister on the phone every evening. I think the point was to be like, "Hmmm, I could be a religious sister if I wanted!" but, that isn't exactly a pathContinue reading "Realities > ideas"
Four photos: here’s what’s up
I don't have words at the moment. So, here are images. 🙂 My car's (THE NEW CAR!!) check engine light came on yesterday and I just about cried...that kind of week, ya'll. So, I went to adoration instead of crying (all about those healthy choices), and today my dad was like, "the internet says thisContinue reading "Four photos: here’s what’s up"
Labor Day SHE-nan-ee-gans.
On Thursday I was like, "Huh. The weekend is open, and a holiday weekend, no less. I should find something to do" and "I've wanted to walk this 35-mile trail since I heard about it last summer." So, I told my cousin, and she was on board for a Sunday-through-Monday hike. She did perform aContinue reading "Labor Day SHE-nan-ee-gans."
Seven lovin’ quick takes
It's Friday. I'll make it snappy. You haven't got all day. Allow me to pass along some things I've been loving. Loving so much, in fact, that I took some pictures. --- 1 --- I know, I know, cliche and hipster. But, this papyrus and that late-afternoon summer sun just spoke to my heart. PeopleContinue reading "Seven lovin’ quick takes"
