...here we come! The pig is at the sitter's. I decorated the intern's desk with Justin Bieber pictures. I've packed my bag. I also, at some point last night, said, "Enough. I've cut enough. It's coming now." Enough lines had been drawn. The inhaler is coming. The shirt is coming. The third pair of socksContinue reading "Ready or not…"
July 10– Pray for Father Simon!
I was walking down the street to mass one day and I saw this guy. I had never seen him before in my life and I said, "Hey!" He paused and inched (centimeter'ed?) away, "Yes?" "Are you a PRIEST?" "Yessssss?" "I'm Danielle! We can be friends!" Pretty much. (Funny how God pulls people together. We'reContinue reading "July 10– Pray for Father Simon!"
Camino post
This is what my pack looked like a few hours ago. And now I'm slashing whilst whimpering. Letting go is a hard, hard, hard process. Like, I figure I'm past comfort, you guys. I'm ready with sleeping bag in pack to face the elements, sleep on floors, and shower with bugs. I'm ready to goContinue reading "Camino post"
Still getting ready
On the Fourth of July my family felt lazy. Too lazy, in fact, to go floating down the river in inner tubes, which has been a small tradition in the past. So, instead my sister and I rented a canoe for an hour and she didn't want to explore as much as I did andContinue reading "Still getting ready"
Super easy flour-free banana muffins!
Happy 4th of July! Here's a super quick/ easy recipe for flour-free banana muffins. Found this one on the internet. Thanks, internet! We had extra, browning bananas...which is what inspired me to look for something to make. Also! Tip for those making these for someone with a gluten-intolerance: make sure you use gluten-free oats. MostContinue reading "Super easy flour-free banana muffins!"
Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER
Hi. Where have I been??? Mostly: crazy. 🙂 Count-down to Spain: 8 days. Woot. Anyway, I had a baby shower last weekend. Now, baby showers are finicky business. I like to bring useful, cute things...but it's hard to know what to bring. Here's what I did for this one: hats, baby hats. That and IContinue reading "Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER"
More Camino Prep!
Christine called me at work today, "I worked on packing all morning. My pack weighs 30 lbs." We aim for 10% of our body weight...which means Christine's goal weight for her pack is less than half of that. "What's in there??" I asked. But, you see, the weight adds quickly. A few shirts. Some shampoo.Continue reading "More Camino Prep!"
Personal challenge: can I make a skirt IN ONE DAY?
Probably you're like, "ALL YOU EVER DO THESE DAYS IS TALK ABOUT THE CAMINO." But I'm like, "IT'S TAKING UP A LOT OF TIME IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW." We can talk all-caps. We're friends. Anyway, it's not my whole life, but it is a good percentage at this stage of the game. Some ofContinue reading "Personal challenge: can I make a skirt IN ONE DAY?"
Paper dolls–NOW IN TECHNICOLOR!
Remember when I gave you a paper doll to color? You don't need to anymore. My mom made the best one. You can just download hers and play away! I'm just sad that I won't look this cute in real life. 🙂 I mean, LOOK at those colors!

I was thinking about this yesterday: some time in the 1300's there was a brother somewhere in Europe who copied the Bible by hand. And I have no idea what his name was. He is a forgotten person...but he handed down THE BIBLE. And then, sometime later, a different man made another copy. And thenContinue reading "More Camino"
