I don’t think it’s a huge surprise to say to you guys, “Hey, I have a massive internet crush on John Blase’s poetry.” (Side note: I also check One Page Love Story every day. But now it’s finished. See? I have a leetle bit of heart. But it’s kind of like the size of theContinueContinue reading “Life/ Camino Word Vomit. Blah blah blah. Love, Me.”

On the strange grace that is Godly friendship
On Tuesdays I like to go to mass. Heck, I like going to mass most days. BUT on Tuesdays my usual hangout (St. Al’s) sometimes merely offers a Communion Service…which is nice…but last Tuesday I needed more plus the sacramental grace of confession. So, I headed out to a further-away parish across the city’s center.ContinueContinue reading “On the strange grace that is Godly friendship”
What I did Thursday
So, it’s pretty likely that I have funny, talented friends and that someone approached me and was like, “Hey, I’m throwing an event. Could your improv troupe come and perform?” And I was all, “Ummm, I don’t really have an improv troupe…but, OK!” And then I picked some of my favorite teammates and asked ifContinueContinue reading “What I did Thursday”
So, Camping was fun!
Thanks for your well-wishes, oh friends and blog-readers! Camping was a great decision (even though I didn’t have time to clean my shower this weekend. Small matters). We arrived on Friday, after having gotten ourselves lost not once but twice. We being my sister and I. We drove into the campsites in her car, scanningContinueContinue reading “So, Camping was fun!”
July 12- Pray for Ceebs
My sister. My dearest partner in greatness. We travel together well, even though she needs a precise schedule. Frequently, I pretend we have one and make it up on the spot because I am good at improving these situations. She’s cool with that, though. This is the girl who packed the first aid kit first.ContinueContinue reading “July 12- Pray for Ceebs”
Baseball Time
My dad gets really excited around the first of January because he knows it will be a new year and one of his favorite things to do every year is to take our family, our extended family and select friends to the baseball game. And then he talks about it all the time until it’sContinueContinue reading “Baseball Time”
Father’s Day Monday
Yesterday was official “Father’s Day” on the American calendar. Only, most of my family was out of town so we postponed to tonight to celebrate padre. I’m not about to wax poetic because it’s not who we are, man. Side story: I volunteer at a youth group. Most of the kids I work with areContinueContinue reading “Father’s Day Monday”
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!ContinueContinue reading “Current status: aware of my mosquito bites”
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 startedContinueContinue reading “People who have visited my house in one week: a sociological experiment”
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 sincereContinueContinue reading “Beautiful, beautiful wedding”
