You know what? The weekend was lovely. I took some pictures to remind me of this. So, I read this recipe on the internet, made it once and haven't stopped eating it since then. Avocados, chick peas, feta, lime juice, and cilantro is the name of the game...but I upped that game and added jalepenoContinue reading "These beautiful moments no. 3"
Some days are just rough rough rough
When I was in college, I came to this odd realization (but it worked for me) that once a semester I would have a bad day. I know, it's weird. But, inevitably, it would happen. One day would just be the worst of all days and all the tests I got back that day wouldContinue reading "Some days are just rough rough rough"
These (beautiful?) moments no. 2
Heh. Heh heh. Irony!! I was like, "Yeah! Let me start a series where I talk about all the things and how they're beautiful!!" Stupid me. (One time ask me and I'll tell you about the time I prayed for humility. Heh again). Yesterday I accidentally forgot about lunch plans with MY OWN SISTER INContinue reading "These (beautiful?) moments no. 2"
These beautiful moments No. 1
Yesterday I was watering my beautiful, green, stretching plants with the hose. I let my bare toes curl and uncurl in the grass; my feet stupid-soft from a winter in shoes. The sun was beginning to send slanting shadows and the guinea pigs were behind me in the lawn and the birds were yelling atContinue reading "These beautiful moments No. 1"
Here, I’ll make it easier on you
Here's a list for you about my life. I thought about doing a weekend-recap, but I checked back on photos to try to jump-start my memory and...the best one was this llama photo. Yeah. List is is, eh? -1- I played against my oldest-brother-engineer in Scrabble this weekend and won, but we tied until theContinue reading "Here, I’ll make it easier on you"
I wore it, but it’s not Wednesday
The road to heck is paved with good intentions. The road to Hell, Michigan, is paved with asphalt, probably. Anyway! My good intentions were to post TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY with NO STOPS FOR THIS LOCOMOTIVE but then the good-intentions train was derailed last night when I hung out with one of those supah coolContinue reading "I wore it, but it’s not Wednesday"
Prodigal Father
What if every morning, in that moment when you’re first aware of yourself and life and breath once more, that very moment is the same moment when God’s heart leaps and He thinks to Himself, with arms outstretched, “Maybe this is the day! Maybe today will be the day she comes back! And I willContinue reading "Prodigal Father"
Where have we BEEN??
Well, it was a lovely holiday weekend, wasn't it? And I don't have a lot of time to catch us up because there's a little guinea pig making happy noises in the crook of my elbow, and that love is distracting me because: cuddles. But, I don't want to neglect you, either. So while theContinue reading "Where have we BEEN??"
What SHE Wore Wednesday
I guess we're just on a Christine kick around here... http://youtu.be/8y3MHPe6bOI Here's a video of what she wore when she rolled in from work. But! Then we changed and went downtown to eat burgers. She just started a club, you see, of burger-eating. But you can only go if you're SERIOUS about eating burgers. But,Continue reading "What SHE Wore Wednesday"
Things Christine said today
Ya'll remember my sister, Christine. She's pretty dang hilarious in her ultra-blunt way. While riding our bikes, and I was going a tad bit faster then she wanted: Christine: "Remind me again--is this some kind of a race? I thought not. Soooo, we can go slower, then." Observing the glorious beauty that is a summerContinue reading "Things Christine said today"
