I got off of work yesterday and I was tired. I wanted to go home and nap. But then I got home and a friend, Matt, was over. So instead I danced in the living room and ate a scrambled egg and, since he is coming on the Camino with me…we decided to “practice walk”ContinueContinue reading “May is magical. Really.”

Sorely disappointed with Francine Rivers right about now
First of all, one of my greatest pet peeves will always be people who criticize other people for things they’re not doing. So, like, if you’re all, “Mother Theresa isn’t all that. I mean, what’s she ever done for homeless pets?” Sure, she’s didn’t help pets. BUT SHE DID A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN YOUContinueContinue reading “Sorely disappointed with Francine Rivers right about now”
The Greatest Generation
I went to an event last night. It was billed as a “USO dance”, scheduled for the 68th anniversary of Victory Day. So I wore my faux-seam-nylons and came ready to dance. (Generally speaking, I plan to dance at dances). What I didn’t realize is that, while there was dancing, a large percentage of theContinueContinue reading “The Greatest Generation”
April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it
There were made crafts in April!! I promise! I just didn’t post about them. Here’s what’s up: the recipient for April is a great guy named Alan who lives somewhere in California. We met on New Year’s retreat a few years back because it’s where you meet awesome people. Alan is fun and generous…and anContinueContinue reading “April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it”
Ruffled sleeves and other matters.
First of all: it needs to be known that I have worn the same sweater five days this week. Colleen gave it to me on Saturday, and I have worn it unabashedly. Amen. Also! GUYS IT’S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. Spring things everywhere! Flowers! Warm weather! Because of the wonder of Spring lured us out-of-doors, IContinueContinue reading “Ruffled sleeves and other matters.”
What I BOUGHT Wednesday
HEY Guuuuuuuuuys! I went to a church rummage sale today. The church is on the fancy side o’ town with all the top name brands and what not making and appearance, so I made my way out there. I’ve been going to this church rummage sale since I was a kid, and I thought itContinueContinue reading “What I BOUGHT Wednesday”
My Favorite Graffiti
Every time I see this bit of vandalized property, my heart smiles: It’s along the road near my house…a road we frequently drive, walk, run, and bike. Someone painted it on one of those boxes used for monitoring light or electricity or who-knows-what. Here: It’s not very big, you see. It’s at the base ofContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Graffiti”
Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue
Sometimes, around my house, things will need to be fixed…but I won’t fix them. I’ll just note they need to be fixed and save that in my brain for another occasion. Case in point: I have a black skirt decorated with numerous (excessive) silver buttons, and the bottom button is missing. Or rather, it’s inContinueContinue reading “Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue”
Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day
So apparently today is National Lover’s Day. How do I know this? Because I read the internet. May it be known: I am currently flying solo, so this didn’t really impact my life all that much. I continued to read the internet, though, and happened upon this interview upon a blog. I’ll be honest: IContinueContinue reading “Converstion topic: National Lover’s Day”
What I Wore Wednesday
Today it is raining…off-again and on-again. I hold a secret hope that this means that spring is on its way–warmer weather, flowers, sunshine *sigh*. I wore my rain-boots, prepped for the occasion. When rain-boots first became a “thing” a few years back, my sister and I were like, “Who would buy these?” And then itContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
