Yesterday morning. Me, rustling around the kitchen, packing for lunch. Paul doing Paul things. Me: Who is your best friend, Paul? Paul: Mmmmmm….Jesus. Me: Oh. Who is your second-next best friend? Paul: Mmmmmmmmmm…Kiwi. Today he sent me a Snapchat of hanging out in a hammock. THE SCALLYWAG. I was still at work doing hoodrat stuff.ContinueContinue reading “Paul is Paul”

Conversations with a real athlete
She’s more athletic than I am. It doesn’t bother me, though. I accept these facts. (Driving home in the car I learn she was actively recruited for her college women’s rugby team…but turned down multiple invites. “I’m not into that.”) (Her time was over a minute per mile better than my time. Winner winner, chickenContinueContinue reading “Conversations with a real athlete”
The uppity ups and the downity downs. Such is community life.
Paul has mono. This is unfortunate. His voice sounds like maybe how your voice would sound if (1) you were trying to talk but also trying to gargle saltwater at the same time, so your mouth was full and your lips couldn’t close and your head was tilted back at an odd angle and (2)ContinueContinue reading “The uppity ups and the downity downs.

Easter-y things. <3
Father Pio called me. ❤ And he wished me, “…many, many, life-changing, heart-expanding Easter graces." Isn’t that lovely? And, so was Easter. Surprises and friends and prayer times. The best times. My favorite thing is the Easter Vigil. And it isn’t everyone’s favorite thing, but it is my favorite thing. Because I love listening toContinueContinue reading “Easter-y things. <3”
HPY BRTHDY, TWNZ!
There are twins in my family—Paul and Christine. And whenever someone says they have twins in their family, or maybe they are a twin themselves, I always say, “Oh! I have twins, too!” But then I back-track and say, “Well, I mean, I have twin siblings.” I don’t want it to sound like I haveContinueContinue reading “HPY BRTHDY, TWNZ!”
Burger night!
It was burger night and I went and I ate a salad because I’m meat-free and that was my only option, man, plus some sweet potato fries. Prior to being gluten-free I ate fries: never. After being gluten-free–hand ’em over. And then I took this blurry photo and posted it up in here instead ofContinueContinue reading “Burger night!”
Family life family time
I live with my family. The direction we’re going is: in Catholic culture, we talk a lot about “community life” meaning, that life when you’re living with other people. And usually the verdict is that it’s hard and rough and requires virtue and more virtue to make it through. Maybe. But, I’m partial to thatContinueContinue reading “Family life family time”
Together!
Yesterday, at dinner I was like, “I’m going to do laundry tonight,” and Paulie said, “I will help you.” So, later, I went downstairs and I was like, “Paul, now it is time to do laundry.” And he was like, “NO!” And I said, “Yes! It is! Come down here!” Then I started sorting allContinueContinue reading “Together!”
Here’s something that made me laugh today…
Sometimes my brother, Paul, has some funny thangs to say. On the internets and in real life. For instance: Bahahahaha!!! Well there you have it. 😉
Wednesdayyyy
I wore this: But, I mean, is that all that exciting? Maybe not. Instead I’ll tell ya: I drove mi padre to the North American International Auto Show today. (BACK SEAT DRIVER. GET OUT MAH CAR. At one point I was like, “Tell me how to do one more thing, and I will tell youContinueContinue reading “Wednesdayyyy”
