What are your plans for surviving the next half of winter, you guys? Are you exercising? Taking Vitamin D? I cross my heart that I have a half-dozen half-baked drafts in this here draft folder.

Seven Quick Takes–IT’S 11:45 ON FRIDAY
How about I just write things in no particular order and as they come to me, OK? OK. -1- I’m reading C.S. Lewis’ Surprised by Joy on a recommendation from a friend (or Three Dogs North coughcoughcough). I’m trying to be a student of joy this year.

The thing about the science competition I was a partContinueContinue reading “OUTDATED SKILLS”

1. I want to use up most if not all of my gift cards. They hang heavy over my head otherwise. I don’t use them because gifts make me uncomfortable. GET OVER YOURSELF, NELL. USE THEM. So, yeah…anyone want to go out to dinner? 😀 2. Bird watch. At least once. Sign up for myContinueContinue reading “2016 Resolutions”
