What HE Wore Wednesday–John

This dashing gentleman is John. He is awesome. If I saw a shooting star right now I would wish that when I am his age I am a fraction of his awesome. John attends daily mass at the wee church where I attend daily mass, and he always looks dapper and sharp. He always wearsContinueContinue reading “What HE Wore Wednesday–John”

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 socialContinueContinue reading “This past week: through the lens of “friends””

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.ContinueContinue reading “More Franciscan fashion and commentary! (Franciscan “What I Wore Wednesday” continued!)”

For my grandma, who taught me to dance

If my grandmother was alive, either yesterday or today would have been her birthday. Except, I don’t remember and my mother can’t exactly place the date either. So, we’re going with today. Happy birthday, Grandma D. This post deserves a disclaimer, lest you believe me to be something I’m not. I dance, but I don’tContinueContinue reading “For my grandma, who taught me to dance”

Frankendress closure and how my grandparents met <3

So I was looking at my visitors last night…seeing what people have been reading and what not. It turns out people keep checking for updates on the “Frankendress.” So I thought to myself, “Self, I think you should let these fine people know what ended up happening with that dress.” And I will! I finishedContinueContinue reading “Frankendress closure and how my grandparents met <3”

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part II

Last night I read this: Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity.

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.

Friday was a day, ya’ll. One of those days where you’re like, “Wait, wait, is this really happening to me?” And not exactly in the good way, either…rather, the kind of way that promises to seep into your weekend and puke sewer water into your otherwise happy-weekend thoughts. And then I was emailed this picture:ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.”

Lauren believes in me

Yesterday I wrote this on my friend Lauren’s Facebook wall: Everything written above is true: thought, encouragement, purchase. Done. Facts: I want to make a dress. I have green and black crepe. I need to sew like a maniac if I plan on being successful. I don’t mind deadlines, honestly. Plus: Lauren believes in me.ContinueContinue reading “Lauren believes in me”

What a Week it has been!

I use the term “week” loosely, since it’s Friday and Halloween was last Wednesday. Small matters. Halloween! I said I would write a post about our costumes and “I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful one hundred percent!” -Horton, from Horton Hears a Who That girl rockingContinueContinue reading “What a Week it has been!”
