I have ideas swirling in my head for new art projects. And the current black hole of internet that intravenously pumped art back into my heart was Pinterest and other such experiences yesterday. Look at these art forms, yo. I’m loving/ loving/ loving them. First up: Art Nouveau. So beautiful. Everyone who knows things about this–tellContinueContinue reading “Art art art”

Slivers of springtime revelry
If I was to pick any day to be a mermaid, today would probably be that day. Yesterday Paul said to me, “Every spring there is a day where I’m like, ‘Oh. Wow. I had forgotten that there are outside smells.” Sure enough! You know how you can stick your face in a refrigerator andContinueContinue reading “Slivers of springtime revelry”
Kiwi will not accept your attempts to cage her
My guinea pig, Kiwi, is a realllllll rascal. Really she just wants to be free to run around and sleep wherever she wants (favorite spot: against our neighbor’s garage, in his tall grass…where he has dogs who could eat her…and she doesn’t care) and eat all of the snacks she can find. We used toContinueContinue reading “Kiwi will not accept your attempts to cage her”
SQT: Quotes edition
Yo, dog. This is where I am right now. Tomorrow is Synod-y stuff for the AOD. After that, I hope to catch the tail-end of a workshop on “Called and Gifted.” Also–please pray for a talk I’m supposed to give to some kidlets on chastity/ vocation/ life Sunday night…before a dance lesson. Oh, and it’sContinueContinue reading “SQT: Quotes edition”
Dinner Party. Deconstructed.
One million years ago, when I was young, I went to Australia with thousands of other youths, because the Pope had invited us. I did things there. Saw kangaroos. Ate lamington (U.S. GET ON YOUR SPONGE CAKE/ CHOCOLATE COATING/ COCONUT GAME)/ Weetabix/ Tim Tams (obvi, this is prior to being diagnosed gluten-free). Also, itContinueContinue reading “Dinner Party.

Kenny, Kenny
This is Kenny. He goes to my tiny church. And I just really, really love him. He gave me a CD he burned a few weeks ago, with all of his favorite songs. Turns out, most of them are my favorite songs, too. He reads at mass sometimes, just like me. Once, when I gotContinueContinue reading “Kenny, Kenny”
Unpopular opinion: Ugh on undercover pro-life vids
How familiar are you, generally, with internet memes? There’s one that’s called the “Unpopular opinion puffin” and it looks like this: Homeboy is the mascot of today’s post. Now, before all of the straw-men are constructed, let me throw out there: I’m a pro-life woman. I’ve stood in the Life Chain since, earnestly, some ofContinueContinue reading “Unpopular opinion: Ugh on undercover pro-life vids”
We’re all covered in salt
My sister and I were walking into mass yesterday and she was like, “ARGH!!” And I turned around like, “What’s wrong, Ceebs?” And she motioned at her pant-leg and said, “How did this get salt on it already??” There, on her black pants, about calf-high, was the mark of the bottom of a boot…the outlineContinueContinue reading “We’re all covered in salt”
Ash Wednesday shenanigans
On Wednesday I sneezed myself awake with a singular sneeze. I’ve been sleeping on the basement couch these past few days, having picked up a bug from a family member. The sneeze was super nasty–the kind of sneeze you sneeze after you’ve been sick for a couple of days and, at night, your sinuses areContinueContinue reading “Ash Wednesday shenanigans”
