Wednesday. Hair reflections you’ll love!11!!

Guys. Juli-YEAH emailed me this yesterday: I try to plan things. I try to plan how I’ll do my hair. I say, ‘Maybe it’s an up-do for this Tuesday!’ Then I wake up. & my hair has done it’s hair thing while I’ve been sleeping. & it looks nothing like the way I planned itContinueContinue reading “Wednesday.

Love and priests and the look of love

I’ve written about priests before, I know and I know, but I’m here to briefly do it again. By an oversight on my part I went to mass twice on Monday–once by blessed force-of-habit at noon time, and then again in the evening because some dear folks asked me to lead Prayers of the FaithfulContinueContinue reading “Love and priests and the look of love”

Anatomy of a Dinner Par-tay

Man oh man. I was trying to post once-a-day last week, ya’ll. Really, I was. So I posted on Monday and Tuesday only. Lame-o. Reason why: I was prepping for a dinner party on Friday. So, Swim class on Wednesday and food shopping/ prep on Thursday and cooking/ entertaining on Friday did not bode wellContinueContinue reading “Anatomy of a Dinner Par-tay”

Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3

Show me a people who have known deep suffering, and I’ll show you a people who know how to talk to God, plead with God, walk with God, praise God. Show me a young girl singing to Jesus and I will honestly show you an auditorium of grown men crying. (Yes. That happened). Sing andContinueContinue reading “Went to a Gospel concert on Sunday <3”

Faces y places

Supposed to be What-I-Wore-Wednesday, I know. But I’m just wearing a million winter clothes in a million layers and my BUSINESS hat because: Valetine-y business in the city! πŸ™‚ We’ve been having some fun, and here are some photos. First of all, I was looking back in the archives of the ol’ blog. This wasContinueContinue reading “Faces y places”

Do you want to build a snowman???

Saturday morning found me outside scraping snow and ice off of our driveway for the THREE MILLIONTH time and, what can I say, I have mixed feelings about our recent “most snow evah!!11!” award. Because, on one hand, I’d rather we just left that record back in ’78 but, on the other hand, I’M GLADContinueContinue reading “Do you want to build a snowman???”

Snowball 2014 this past weekend

Every year for the past ten, my family has hosted a shindig known ’round these parts as the “Snowball” which is basically an excuse for dressing up and getting out and seeing friends while we all try to survive this frigid winter. It’s fun and good times and memories galore, and I should really takeContinueContinue reading “Snowball 2014 this past weekend”

Lesson learned: be careful what you promise!

Soooooo. I told Kathryn she could post in my blog and then she was like, “But you need to promise me I can post whatever I want” and BECAUSE I TRUSTED HER she wrote this. Enjoy. Dear readers of Danielle the Great and Powerful, I am not Danielle. My name is Kathryn. Need some background?ContinueContinue reading “Lesson learned: be careful what you promise!”

Winter/projects/my mom

My camera has been accumulating photos of my mother. This is mostly because in the winter I’m driven more indoors due to snow/cold/ice/my inability to generate body heat and more time indoors = more time for projects! The list is in: My sister and I ordered Triathlon-friendly suits yesterday. After the mere second swimming classContinueContinue reading “Winter/projects/my mom”
