Important video to start this conversation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSq1cez_flQ YOU’VE BEEN ASKED. And by two of the cutest cats around, I might add. And one had a ukelele. I care about you guys, is what I’m saying. Anyway, the question that remains is: WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR’S EVE? Things I printed today: Registration form. OnContinueContinue reading “My longest-range plans at the moment: New Year’s Eve”

Year of Faith Catholicism to the max. Prepare to be overwhelmed.
Two Sundays ago I attended mass at the large stone-and-marble Shrine across the city from my house. I went there because I honestly thought the Year of Faith ended this week instead of a few days later still, and I needed to fit in my favorite indulgence-option of the entire Year-of-Faith deal: renewing of yourContinueContinue reading “Year of Faith Catholicism to the max.

St. Therese, on her feast day
Back in January I sat on a chair and Father Pio Maria sat on a couch and talked to me about my life. We’ve been doing this every January for the past few years, and it’s always a treasured time for me. He gave me a bunch of things to do to improve in holiness,ContinueContinue reading “St. Therese, on her feast day”
Lotsa Pope and a little bit of clothes
Hey my friends! Over the next month and a half I have not one, not two, but FOUR weddings to attend. Plus necessary other-events that go along with them (showers and the like). Tonight is one such event (Bachelorette partay, actually). So! This will be so short. I will give you some points to ponder.ContinueContinue reading “Lotsa Pope and a little bit of clothes”
Stuff I’ve been working on
Here is a picture of Paul doing garbage stuff. This morning he took the trash out and this afternoon he took it back. No one asked. Bam. Adulthood. Thanks, Paw. Paul and I are the only normal-job ones in the Casa. My dad kind of counts, but he also kind of doesn’t considering he earns,ContinueContinue reading “Stuff I’ve been working on”
A list of things that are beautiful. By me.
I’m admittedly the only person on the internet who isn’t like, “Hooray, fall!!11! I love sweaters!!” because, while I respect your love of sweaters, I REALLY LIKE SLEEVELESS TANKS. I love going outside barefoot. I love feeling sunlight warm my skin. I love simple life and simple living. Summmmahtiiiime and the living in eaaasy! But,ContinueContinue reading “A list of things that are beautiful. By me.”
My friend, St. Maximilian Kolbe
Today is the Feast day of St. Maximilian Kolbe. It snuck up on me, it did. I know that his Feast day is August 14th, but I finish my Marian Consecration tomorrow and so I was focused on that instead of thinking about today. And yesterday as I sat at the kitchen table with ChristineContinueContinue reading “My friend, St. Maximilian Kolbe”
More Camino
I was thinking about this yesterday: some time in the 1300’s there was a brother somewhere in Europe who copied the Bible by hand. And I have no idea what his name was. He is a forgotten person…but he handed down THE BIBLE. And then, sometime later, a different man made another copy. And thenContinueContinue reading “More Camino”
What song would you sing at the Visitation?
This week. Hit a few bumps on the let’s-take-twenty-people-to-Spain road. Over-committed to too many things (and therefore frustrated myself because I couldn’t accomplish all of them and emerge a functioning human being). Didn’t learn my lesson, though, and continued to say “yes”! This is me. So I go to confession all, “Hi. I’m really goodContinueContinue reading “What song would you sing at the Visitation?”
I gave a talk on Tuesday
Last Tuesday I sat in a classroom with Colleen and presented to “baby Catholics”: little young women who are going to be making their confirmations in a few days. We were supposed to be talking about the “Theology of the Body” but, again, they were merely baby Catholics so we kind of started by talkingContinueContinue reading “I gave a talk on Tuesday”
