Man oh man. I was trying to post once-a-day last week, ya'll. Really, I was. So I posted on Monday and Tuesday only. Lame-o. Reason why: I was prepping for a dinner party on Friday. So, Swim class on Wednesday and food shopping/ prep on Thursday and cooking/ entertaining on Friday did not bode wellContinue reading "Anatomy of a Dinner Par-tay"
Giggly things
Four things that have made me laugh. A list. First. This text from an UNREVEALED FRIEND: "Sometimes, I think that if someone else saw your texts, they'd think you'd been drinking." My response: "Sometimes I realize that if someone saw me/ overheard any of my convos/ watched my dance/ wondered how I matched my clothes,Continue reading "Giggly things"
Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3
Show me a people who have known deep suffering, and I'll show you a people who know how to talk to God, plead with God, walk with God, praise God. Show me a young girl singing to Jesus and I will honestly show you an auditorium of grown men crying. (Yes. That happened). Sing andContinue reading "Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3"
Things we love…on Valentine’s Day!
Today I came across people and I asked them, "What do you love? What can you tell me you love today, Valentine's Day?" And this is what they said. My parents: very devout and the influential people to me My older brother, John: really smart and always offers sound advice My niece, Giovanna: really cute,Continue reading "Things we love…on Valentine’s Day!"
Faces y places
Supposed to be What-I-Wore-Wednesday, I know. But I'm just wearing a million winter clothes in a million layers and my BUSINESS hat because: Valetine-y business in the city! 🙂 We've been having some fun, and here are some photos. First of all, I was looking back in the archives of the ol' blog. This wasContinue reading "Faces y places"
Reflection on St. Max which has been blowing my mind since December
Really, it has. I'm sure you all remember Brother Thomas: Right? I see this kid on the New Year's Retreat. This year I was supposed to be solemnly in line for confession, but the lines were long and our eyes kept meeting and he was making weird faces at me until finally I was like,Continue reading "Reflection on St. Max which has been blowing my mind since December"
A fluffy post
Oh hai! I feel like I've been living in a cave of cold-congestion...but today, because God is good and my immune system decided enough was enough, I feel like I emerged from the cave into the bright, blinking sunlight. And hello, hello, for I missed it out here. I was literally like, "Where has myContinue reading "A fluffy post"
What I Wore Wednesday. Guys. NEW YELLAH PANTZ.
Before I get started, I need to express some gratitude, ya'll. My car is one crazy cat. Haters be like, "It's rusty! You should get a new car!" But, after today's commute I just want to love on it a little. Because if it was a lady and I was a gentleman I'd totally sendContinue reading "What I Wore Wednesday. Guys. NEW YELLAH PANTZ."
Do you want to build a snowman???
Saturday morning found me outside scraping snow and ice off of our driveway for the THREE MILLIONTH time and, what can I say, I have mixed feelings about our recent "most snow evah!!11!" award. Because, on one hand, I'd rather we just left that record back in '78 but, on the other hand, I'M GLADContinue reading "Do you want to build a snowman???"
Got my throat blessed!
Here's a brief rundown: Monday morning, iced-over car, lingering sniffles, few minutes late for work etc. etc. etc. Blech. And then I got to work and I realized what day it was, so I posted on Christine's wall, "It's your favorite feast day! The feast of St. Blaise!" Smile. This is one of those weirdContinue reading "Got my throat blessed!"
