Sometimes I don’t excel…and, whatever, man

Sometimes I post pictures of myself playing circus on the interwebs. But, there are other photos I don’t tag or share, and I kind of want to talk about that today. Last Thursday I couldn’t move my arms so well. Want to know why? On last Wednesday, at circus class, I was trying to learnContinueContinue reading “Sometimes I don’t excel…and, whatever, man”

An imagined discourse between me and the makers of U.S. dresses

Yesterday I wore a dress I bought in Spain and wondered why I can’t find anything as nice here in the U.S. This imagined conversation is what followed–between me and the people who decide what kind of dresses will fill the U.S. stores. I’ve dubbed these decision makers the “American dress manufacturers,” and the communicationsContinueContinue reading “An imagined discourse between me and the makers of U.S. dresses”

Highlights from the 4th of July

Full disclosure: I took some cold medicine yesterday. Even though cold medicine comes in packs of two, I usually only take one at a time and leave the other one until I need it later down the line. But yesterday I was like, “You know, I could just be an adult and take them both.”ContinueContinue reading “Highlights from the 4th of July”

Hey all! Here we are, looking at lovely things! Happy Thursday! OK, let’s just start with the fluffies! Little pudgy piggies!

Hey all!! It’s time to view more links and more links! Today’s topic: mommy blogs. I am all over these suckers. Especially the Catholic mommy-blogs.

Seven Quick takes (in fifteen words!)

Sore booty, I imagine. — 2 — Yesterday I was able to finish a retreat workbook for a friend. Glad I’m done! — 3 —ContinueContinue reading “Seven Quick takes (in fifteen words!)”

The lengths I’ll travel for dental health. Or something.

From what I understand/ have been told, there’s a famous short-story by Leo Tolstoy where a series of things happen—some considered “good,” others “bad.” During the course of these events people will comment to the protagonist, “How fortunate!” or “How unfortunate!” and his answer is always something along the lines of, “Who knows if weContinueContinue reading “The lengths I’ll travel for dental health.

These beautiful moment no. 4 | the improptu picnic

The beginning of this needs to be the beginning, otherwise, indeed, I just happened to throw another event and take a photo and, really, you could look anywhere on the internet to find more inspiring food or boy-scout approved bonfires or backyards better-weeded than mine (at the moment. cough). The beginning is that: antsy-me stillContinueContinue reading “These beautiful moment no. 4 | the improptu picnic”

On the wonder of peaches

It’s probably sacrilegious to say this But I feel that eating summer-peaches, Them bursting with sweet and sticky syrup Running down my fingers, face and chin, Is (almost) sacramental. We’re told of the visible signs of the invisible reality And I hear you on marriage, communion, reconciliation, et al. But somehow my spine-craned posture overContinueContinue reading “On the wonder of peaches”
