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”

The quickest of the quick takes
— 1 — It’s taken me years and years but, I finally convinced someone to come with me to a circus class. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present: your boyyyyy! That’s a really, really nice looking foot lock, Mr. Josh! (All day long he meant to say, “Cirque du Soleil” when we wereContinueContinue reading “The quickest of the quick takes”
Our syrup production and other matters.
How was your weekend? Was it cool but also weird? Because mine was. Well, at least Friday was. Did you ever, suddenly, have a day where your plans fell through so instead you were like, “Huh. Well, now what do I do?” And then your brother is like, “Can you watch over the maple syrupContinueContinue reading “Our syrup production and other matters.”
Non-judgmental granola bars
On Friday night I went out dancing. And, maybe this was a bad idea. Because on Monday I had to take a sick day and my mom said to me, “This is your own fault, you wore yourself out, I hope you remember this in your future.” And, maybe it was my fault. But, moreContinueContinue reading “Non-judgmental granola bars”
Here are some things I’ve been making
First off: this burger from this blahg. It’s vegetarian and made out of quinoa and eggs and cottage cheese so, really, tell me how to make it more protein-y without stuffing it with steak and stuff. I dare you. And all you meat-eaters can remember this: Fridays in Lent are meat-free anyway. You need someContinueContinue reading “Here are some things I’ve been making”
Matters
“And it doesn’t matter,” I said, “but they took away a project that I enjoyed, that I was good at. I mean, all the time I would be told I did a great job, and I felt like I did, too.” And I paced some more. He made a noise like, “Oh.” It’s one ofContinueContinue reading “Matters”
Print on print/ brown on brown
On Sunday I went to mass and some teenagers were doing a great job lectoring. Homegirl second reading (I think) went up to the ambo with a polka dot shirt and a striped skirt and I was like, “Shut the door, girl, you’re making it count.” Because all of the people know that I’m proContinueContinue reading “Print on print/ brown on brown”
Retreattttt
Halloooooo!! I’m preparing for a retreat tomorrow and Saturday. So, I’m probably not going to say too many things because I’m at that point of, like, “What am I doing?? Was this even a good idea????” aaaaaand you don’t need that kind of drama, mama. But, I’m excited. The people attending are great. The speakersContinueContinue reading “Retreattttt”
I’m still alive, don’t worry
And suddenly: it was Monday! My goal is always to get out at least three posts per week. But, sometimes things just fall apart, apparently. What’s been hopping? Well, for one, the offices where I work are moving to new offices, which means moving has been happening on the work-front. Is that exciting enough toContinueContinue reading “I’m still alive, don’t worry”
So, I got in a car accident
Between Saturday and Sunday night it was supposed to snow a bunch, but when I woke up on Sunday there wasn’t really a whole lot of snow on the ground. Now, I’m planning a pretty cool retreat a few weeks from now at Ste. Anne’s in Detroit, and I kind of wanted to head thatContinueContinue reading “So, I got in a car accident”
