I went to an event last night. It was billed as a "USO dance", scheduled for the 68th anniversary of Victory Day. So I wore my faux-seam-nylons and came ready to dance. (Generally speaking, I plan to dance at dances). What I didn't realize is that, while there was dancing, a large percentage of theContinue reading "The Greatest Generation"
April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it
There were made crafts in April!! I promise! I just didn't post about them. Here's what's up: the recipient for April is a great guy named Alan who lives somewhere in California. We met on New Year's retreat a few years back because it's where you meet awesome people. Alan is fun and generous...and anContinue reading "April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it"
Ruffled sleeves and other matters.
First of all: it needs to be known that I have worn the same sweater five days this week. Colleen gave it to me on Saturday, and I have worn it unabashedly. Amen. Also! GUYS IT'S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. Spring things everywhere! Flowers! Warm weather! Because of the wonder of Spring lured us out-of-doors, IContinue reading "Ruffled sleeves and other matters."
What I BOUGHT Wednesday
HEY Guuuuuuuuuys! I went to a church rummage sale today. The church is on the fancy side o' town with all the top name brands and what not making and appearance, so I made my way out there. I've been going to this church rummage sale since I was a kid, and I thought itContinue reading "What I BOUGHT Wednesday"
My Favorite Graffiti
Every time I see this bit of vandalized property, my heart smiles: It's along the road near my house...a road we frequently drive, walk, run, and bike. Someone painted it on one of those boxes used for monitoring light or electricity or who-knows-what. Here: It's not very big, you see. It's at the base ofContinue reading "My Favorite Graffiti"
Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue
Sometimes, around my house, things will need to be fixed...but I won't fix them. I'll just note they need to be fixed and save that in my brain for another occasion. Case in point: I have a black skirt decorated with numerous (excessive) silver buttons, and the bottom button is missing. Or rather, it's inContinue reading "Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue"
What SHE Wore Wednesday
Sometimes, on Wednesdays, I'll find someone who is dressed cute...and I won't be able to prop my camera anywhere to take my selfies. And then I'm just like, "I MUST FEATURE THAT PERSON INSTEAD." Enter this girl. RETURN OF THE JULIA!! Here she is, folks. Rocking the same green skirt. 🙂 That's a fantastic exampleContinue reading "What SHE Wore Wednesday"
Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day
So apparently today is National Lover's Day. How do I know this? Because I read the internet. May it be known: I am currently flying solo, so this didn't really impact my life all that much. I continued to read the internet, though, and happened upon this interview upon a blog. I'll be honest: IContinue reading "Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day"
Camino Announcement–for EVERYONE! :)
So close to Spring!
I wore my spring jacket on Friday. At least, I thought I did. Since my sister and I are so close in age/ size/ awesome (ahem) we have matching coats, purchased the same year (Costco!). Hers has her NAME embroidered on the front so I'm not sure how I mixed this up, but I accidentallyContinue reading "So close to Spring!"
