Remember that one of my New Year's resolutions was to pray more? Heh. Getting there. Anyway! I've taken up, thanks to this handy cheat sheet from BustedHalo.com, working through St. Ignatius' daily Examen. Basically it's an end-of-the-day prayer that looks over your day. So far, I dig it. One of my favorite parts is stepContinue reading "Thankful Tuesday"
What I Wore Wednesday
One time I was at a church rummage sale. My family was still looking at other things, but I had already scanned the rooms of clothing. I was in the church-auditorium, which is where the dishes and the toys were stashed. There was a rack of cheap Halloween costumes, all the size of toddlers. But,Continue reading "What I Wore Wednesday"
Thoughts on jumpers. Go.
Hey guys. When I asked about the exposed zipper dilemma of the Frankendress sewing of yore, I received excellent feedback. So, new question: thoughts on jumpers? I'm thinking about making one for an upcoming dance. Here's the thing: I've been very hesitant in the past. Why? Because I was homeschooled. There's a prejudice, I know,Continue reading "Thoughts on jumpers. Go."
Crafting Challenge 2013. Numero Uno for Juli-YEAH!
Remember when I said that I wanted to make thirteen crafts in 2013 presented on the thirteenth of each month?? "I meant what I said. And I said what I meant. An elephant is faithful, one hundred percent!" That's a quote from Dr. Suess' Horton. And it's my second time quoting it on the blog.Continue reading "Crafting Challenge 2013.

This past week: through the lens of “friends”
I'll start by stating: I'm not fully informed on Twitter etiquette. So, my friend Kathryn tweets at me and I want to share it with all ya'lls. Am I supposed to erase her account evidence (for safety reasons) or am I supposed to let everyone see it and follow her (you know, the whole socialContinue reading "This past week: through the lens of “friends”"
What SHE Wore Wednesday–Jessica
Jessica walked into my office today and it was like seeing a vision of a vintage Barbie. I, on the other hand, was dressed like a three-year-old with no concept of weather-appropriate clothing because when I ran this morning it was raining and so I wore rainboots to work. That doesn't sound that bad, exceptContinue reading "What SHE Wore Wednesday–Jessica"
Mind-blowing coloring results
Hello. Approximately one million years ago I posted a picture on my blog and told people that, if they colored it and sent it to me, they would be featured on my blog. Holy guacamole, these are fantastic. Please, enjoy. This is the first time I've included a gallery on the blog. If you clickContinue reading "Mind-blowing coloring results"
Seashell resolutions
It's 2013. Time for New Year's resolutions. Fail to plan, plan to fail is what my ex-coworker's ex-girlfriend's father used to say. Disclaimer: I give myself leave to do or not do these according to my new ideas and other whims. If the Lord wills it, in 2013, I would like to Master making deliciousContinue reading "Seashell resolutions"
Gluten-free Chocolate Coconut (Cup!)Cake
Sooooo, remember yesterday's Brother Thomas? He's also so cool that he sent me some gluten-free recipes to try. It should be noted that this recipe denotes a step of bravery for me. Most gluten-free recipes call for four to six types of alternative flours and I've been too scared to try them. But! This oneContinue reading "Gluten-free Chocolate Coconut (Cup!)Cake"
More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)
It needs to be known that I went to upload my pictures from retreat and was surprised to find this happy face staring at me. Apparently Brother Thomas found my camera and snapped this beauty before returning my camera to its rightful owner. Baha! ANYWAY. Yesterday I wrote about Franciscan fashion and our friend Fr.Continue reading "More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)"
