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 accidentallyContinueContinue reading “So close to Spring!”
Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000
I work relatively normal working hours. This is because I am an old woman with a degree and a steady job. The same cannot be said for the other members of my family, though. I have three siblings who live with me in the same house–all three still at various stages in their college careers.ContinueContinue reading “Josh is a gooberfish. Episode 5,000”
Fun on a Friday
Yesterday evening I had dinner-and-lovely-conversation at this lady’s house. And we were joined by Kathryn and groomsman Dave and Colleen’s man-to-be, Mark. It was one of those nights were everyone is just friends, you know? And we ate wholesome, lovely, homemade food and shared about our lives and Hazel-the-cat showcased her skill of jumping highContinueContinue reading “Fun on a Friday”

Christine, Benedict XVI, and me
Last Thursday, emeritus Pope Benedict XVI left St. Peter’s at 8:00 p.m. which was 2:00 p.m. for us here in the U.S. of A. Our Archbishop invited the faithful to the Cathedral for an hour of prayer surrounding the 2:00 moment–we would pray from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, forContinueContinue reading “Christine, Benedict XVI, and me”
Looking forward
Some of my girlfriends and I decided that we would like to partake in a “Lenten Retreat.” Only, we didn’t have one we really wanted to attend. And so, we decided to make our own. These particular two girlfriends have talents and pasts that include missionary work, retreat planning, and convent life expertise. What I’mContinueContinue reading “Looking forward”
Top three Josh-quotes that prove his love for me
My youngest brother has always been so cute. We have a special, loving relationship which can be explored via my favorite Josh-quotes (below). 1. “Don’t worry, Danielle. If you ever lost your job…I would pay for your food.” 2. “You do such a good job…cleaning the bathroom.” 3.. “I had a dream where you died,ContinueContinue reading “Top three Josh-quotes that prove his love for me”
Pope Benedict XVI. I love him.
It’s old news, really: a week old already. The current Pope Benedict XVI will be resigning. This is news-worthy for several reasons, one being that a pope has not resigned in hundreds of years, another being that the pope is a religious leader for much of the world’s population. But, I’m not here to speculate.ContinueContinue reading “Pope Benedict XVI. I love him.”
My sibs wake up early for me
My car is generally pretty reliable, which is a grace. It’s also super comfortable, which is awesome for car trips. But, last week my heat kicked out, which was challenging. My dad had Friday off, so I took his car to work and he told me he’d take my car into the shop. Thing is,ContinueContinue reading “My sibs wake up early for me”
