Remember that I went away for the weekend? To Indiana? Here are some photos, kidlets! I was visiting my friend Lauren for the weekend. I met Lauren maybe in third grade? Fourth grade? We were definitely Pioneer Girls together at Lauren’s church, Pathfinders workin’ on our balancing badge, I think? If memory serves, we wereContinueContinue reading “Weekend excursion: in photos”

Quick Takes Friday!
No photo post. It’s who I am. — 1 — Things I’ve done this week include: locking my keys in the car. I’ve always hoped this was a phase I’d outgrow. APPARENTLY NOT. I even have a spare set in my wallet….or, I did. Once I realized my keys were on the front seat ofContinueContinue reading “Quick Takes Friday!”
My sassy-pants match my short hair, fellows
Hey friends, This kind of strays from my usual themes of Jesus/ secondhand shopping/ snacks…but, it’s what I’ve been thinking about, so it’s what I’m writing about. Namely this: short hair. As I recently revealed on the blog, I’m the proud and lucky recipient of a fantastic haircut (love to my girl Kristen!). It’s fun,ContinueContinue reading “My sassy-pants match my short hair, fellows”

Quotes I like. Also: Arts-n-crafts!!
Today I made some arts-n-crafts. Quotes that I like for a friend who had a full, rough year. I would have made more, but I ran out of glue. But, it made me wonder… …which are your favorite quotes? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to talk to DJ. And one more:
What Friday night looks like up in here
This is what my house looked like tonight and where everyone was and what they were doing. My dad was doing Sudoku puzzles on the couch. They were supposed to be these cookies, but mistakes were made where egg yolks as well as egg whites were added to the batter so I had to salvageContinueContinue reading “What Friday night looks like up in here”
General things about my life, just in case you needed to know
I have determined to share exactly ten things about my life with you. Because, hey, what’s a blog without goals. Oh, and I care about you as a reader. Maybe I could one day do a “ask Nell” thing. But, probs the only person to ask would be my mom. And the only question wouldContinueContinue reading “General things about my life, just in case you needed to know”
In case you were wondering
…why I wasn’t posting today it’s because one of my friends was like, “This is the best book, you should read it because it’s the best.” And because I’m a supah fast reader I read it in under five hours with dinner thrown in for good measure. And I didn’t really like it. And IContinueContinue reading “In case you were wondering”
Lists on lists of girlie talk
It’s likely I’m starved for some girlfriend time. These are the things swirling in my system that need to get out: MY HEART IS WRENCHED BECAUSE I TOOK OUT MY CARTILAGE RING AND NOW I CAN’T GET IT BACK IN. Only out for 24 hours and it’s swollen shut. This wrenches my heart because IContinueContinue reading “Lists on lists of girlie talk”
