I left work on Friday in high spirits, I guess, as I took this picture of traffic on my way home. Please note, that blue sky is deceiving. Friday was a night slated for a garden party with girlfriends and crafts and lemonade. Alas, it was too chilly, so I had to move indoors andContinue reading "What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera"
My Office
I've recently relocated in my office building...therefore: new views! Out the window: On the whiteboard (I thought they were joking when they said the whiteboard was my responsibility. They weren't joking): But--now it's a three-day weekend. So: do awesome things and remember awesome people.
When things don’t go according to plan
Yesterday was Wednesday. Big things that have happened this week: the Oklahoma tragic tornado, the passing of a friend's family members. And yesterday was Wednesday...when I normally write about clothing. I was going to be so productive. I was going to accomplish things and write posts and go to the funeral parlor and clean theContinue reading "When things don’t go according to plan"
Current status: aware of my mosquito bites
So I spent time with this gorgeous face on Sunday. Together we hiked a mini-Camino. We were banished from the real group (more on that later, alligator). See the lilac picture? It represents a larger theme, you see. Today, in my office I mainly focus on those lilacs...and the shining water. And they were beautiful!Continue reading "Current status: aware of my mosquito bites"
What I Wore Wednesday
My brother, Paul, unexpectedly mentioned that he wanted to be featured in a "What I Wore Wednesday." I told him he would be featured THIS WEEK and I figured we were good. That morning I texted him from work, reminding him of this. But then he texted me back saying he no longer wanted to.Continue reading "What I Wore Wednesday"
May is magical. Really.
I got off of work yesterday and I was tired. I wanted to go home and nap. But then I got home and a friend, Matt, was over. So instead I danced in the living room and ate a scrambled egg and, since he is coming on the Camino with me...we decided to "practice walk"Continue reading "May is magical. Really."
People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment
Sometimes we joke that our house could be the feature of a television show--all types of characters coming and going, eating our food (even when we're not home), hanging out and being ridiculous. It occurred to me that I would, for one week, take a photograph of everyone who cycled through the house. I startedContinue reading "People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment"
Sorely disappointed with Francine Rivers right about now
First of all, one of my greatest pet peeves will always be people who criticize other people for things they’re not doing. So, like, if you’re all, “Mother Theresa isn’t all that. I mean, what’s she ever done for homeless pets?” Sure, she’s didn’t help pets. BUT SHE DID A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN YOUContinue reading "Sorely disappointed with Francine Rivers right about now"
Beautiful, beautiful wedding
I attended a wedding on Saturday. A wedding of a most beautiful bride. It made me remember everything I've ever loved and heard about weddings, ever since I was little. I met the bride while we were both in high school, and we met up again years later in college. She has always been sincereContinue reading "Beautiful, beautiful wedding"
