Today’s reading reads like poetry. “Moses did exactly as the LORD had commanded him.” Would that the same could be said of us. (Too bad I am still working out most of my fears). “On the first day of the first month of the second year the Dwelling was erected.” What they’re saying is: itContinueContinue reading “Insight into my brain as I lector”

On Koalas, bedbugs…and true love
One time I was walking along the Camino de Santiago through a eucalyptus forest with Julia and Christine and Matt and Marcus. Marcus is a trained mountain man/ lumberjack and we said, “Tell us about these trees, Marcus.” But he just gave us a vague description and I said, “That’s not what I meant.” SoContinueContinue reading “On Koalas, bedbugs…and true love”
Still getting ready
On the Fourth of July my family felt lazy. Too lazy, in fact, to go floating down the river in inner tubes, which has been a small tradition in the past. So, instead my sister and I rented a canoe for an hour and she didn’t want to explore as much as I did andContinueContinue reading “Still getting ready”
More Camino Prep!
Christine called me at work today, “I worked on packing all morning. My pack weighs 30 lbs.” We aim for 10% of our body weight…which means Christine’s goal weight for her pack is less than half of that. “What’s in there??” I asked. But, you see, the weight adds quickly. A few shirts. Some shampoo.ContinueContinue reading “More Camino Prep!”
Friday thought-vomit
— 1 — If you didn’t know what Spider Monkeys were and someone was like, “I’m thinking about getting a Spider Monkey for a pet”…does that not sound like the most terrifying animal? Spiders on their own are creepy, I think most of us can agree on that. We’re conditioned to think that monkeys areContinueContinue reading “Friday thought-vomit”
How we picked out the Kiwi
May marks one year that we have had our little guinea pig, Kiwi. We picked her out of the pet store one week after the wedding of my oldest brother, David. Things had finally wound down (a bit) from the wedding excitement. It was a Sunday. For some reason, only Paul, Josh and I wentContinueContinue reading “How we picked out the Kiwi”
June Crafting Challenge!
Remember how, in May, I made a bow tie and it was a lot harder than expected? And the same held true for April’s craft? I decided that, for June, I was going to take things simply. Simply and beautifully. Lucky for me, June was dedicated to a young woman anyway (girls are way easierContinueContinue reading “June Crafting Challenge!”
What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera
I left work on Friday in high spirits, I guess, as I took this picture of traffic on my way home. Please note, that blue sky is deceiving. Friday was a night slated for a garden party with girlfriends and crafts and lemonade. Alas, it was too chilly, so I had to move indoors andContinueContinue reading “What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera”
My Office
I’ve recently relocated in my office building…therefore: new views! Out the window: On the whiteboard (I thought they were joking when they said the whiteboard was my responsibility. They weren’t joking): But–now it's a three-day weekend. So: do awesome things and remember awesome people.
When things don’t go according to plan
Yesterday was Wednesday. Big things that have happened this week: the Oklahoma tragic tornado, the passing of a friend’s family members. And yesterday was Wednesday…when I normally write about clothing. I was going to be so productive. I was going to accomplish things and write posts and go to the funeral parlor and clean theContinueContinue reading “When things don’t go according to plan”
