We have a family guinea pig whom we love so much it is incomprehensible. Her name is “Kiwi,” because she is black and brown like a kiwi-bird or a kiwifruit. She also has cannibalistic tendencies and occasionally eats kiwifruit. Anyway! This weekend we had some friends over. The “friends” all happened to be priests orContinueContinue reading “Wherein Kiwi the guinea pig was claimed as a child of the light”

What I Wore Wednesday
So last Saturday I went to the the thrift store and TORE IT UP, man. Here’s what went down: I stopped at one store in the morning hours, looking for some supplies for the crafting challenge.

Thankful Tuesday
Remember that one of my New Year’s resolutions was to pray more? Heh. Getting there. Anyway! I’ve taken up, thanks to this handy cheat sheet from BustedHalo.com, working through St. Ignatius’ daily Examen. Basically it’s an end-of-the-day prayer that looks over your day. So far, I dig it. One of my favorite parts is stepContinueContinue reading “Thankful Tuesday”

Seashell resolutions
It’s 2013. Time for New Year’s resolutions. Fail to plan, plan to fail is what my ex-coworker’s ex-girlfriend’s father used to say.

If the Lord wills it, in 2013, I would like to Master making deliciousContinueContinue reading “Seashell resolutions”

What I Wore Wednesday
I have a sister who is my biggest advocate against ever appearing on the show “Hoarders.” I’m not saying I would be on the show if I didn’t know her, I’m just saying she’s the one who offers the vocal “DO IT” when I say, “I think I want to get rid of this” andContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”
Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class
Yeah, so, I take an acrobat class. This is because once I went to a Bible Study and the icebreaker was, “If you were going to join the circus, what would you do in the circus?” And I was like, “Trapeze. Duh.” Because, really, what else is there? Right about this time my plans forContinueContinue reading “Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class”
