So, one time, on the Camino de Santiago '13, it was the evening and I was making everyone say their "highs and lows" for the day. On this one day, Carlie and Jesus (the dewd, not the Son-of-God, although the Son-of-God was undoubtedly present) passed a place with a litter of PUPPIES!! Puppies puppies puppies!Continue reading "The newest burrito"
Did you want to see Colorado pics?
Yeah, so, I went to Colorado. And then I came back and we jumped into Holy Week and I never shared or chatted about the great Sunshine-y State. But, I've got another post up today about Holy Week so, why not just add both?? Oh, and I could add a gallery and all your clicksContinue reading "Did you want to see Colorado pics?"
My personal 15 Triduum favorites
This year I visited with friends and parted with, "Merry Triduum!" because I wasn't sure of the correct greeting. But then a different friend wished me an "Epic Triduum" which fits better, doesn't it? I didn't take pictures of the events on Friday or Saturday. Sometimes it's just better to be present than to rushContinue reading "My personal 15 Triduum favorites"
Holy Thursday
When I knelt today at mass, the mass of the Last Supper, I thought about all the people I've been graced to meet: the dusty children of El Salvador, the homeless of Detroit, the little crowd from Colorado, those I've met on World Youth Days and through my sibs and through the entire faith community.Continue reading "Holy Thursday"
Holy week time
It could be that maybe I didn't transition well into talking and what not, but there are so many things that need to be done--and all of them good and worthy things, you know? In the next few days I need to... call the vet for the guinea pig (don't worry, routine things) make butterContinue reading "Holy week time"
Getting back in the swingity swing
Hey. Should I have posted something yesterday? Of course. But, instead, we were delayed. We were making Easter eggs, you see. And it was beautiful: lots of people, lots of dye, lots of fire hazards because: no school like the old school. And now, here were are, in Holy Week, my favorite week. There areContinue reading "Getting back in the swingity swing"
Oh hai, I’m alive
I'm alive and more alive and even more, more alive, thanks be to God. My retreat is complete, it's 1 a.m. and I just finished a night of dancing. Guys, God was so, so mind-blowing good. I can't even. So, I'm not even going to try. Goose night!
She’ll be comin’ round that mountain
Oh HEY!! I'm here! In Colorado! In my own hotel room like an ADULT, yo!! How was the trip? Well, take-off was rough, but I was sitting in a row with two kidlets, twins, nine years old...and it was hilarious. They had approximately a million questions about everything, but I felt like a qualified adultContinue reading "She’ll be comin’ round that mountain"
Old(er)
Is this even news? Today is my birthday. Happy birthday. I think I'm just going to write approximately three hundred words and call it a happy day. Several minutes of brain-on-page, go. I feel like I turn older on January 1 every year, not April 4 although I am undoubtedly older today, just as IContinue reading "Old(er)"
What I Wore Wednesday–my newest skirt
This is it. This is the corduroy skirt that took a bit o' emotional energy and real-life energy with it. Vintage pattern missing from the envelope, me making up a pocket pattern, me accidentally cutting something improperly with the fabric-pattern facing the wrong way...whew. No one said it was easy. I'm typing as my friendContinue reading "What I Wore Wednesday–my newest skirt"
