This is my Camino. Welcome.
Remember how I was going to be recreating and stuff? I did. I went to IL and Chicago and saw friends and fam. Want to see about ten pictures with limited amounts of text? Why, your wish is my command! We got too late to the grocery store, though. So we relied on our reserves... Continue Reading →
Okay, okay, okay! So, blah blah blah I ran a half-marathon and I 100% realize that that's treading in questionable territory of rescuing dogs and becoming a vegetarian where it's slightly socially acceptable until it becomes all that person talks about, and then you're all like, "Yeah, yeah, get on with your life." I know,... Continue Reading →
In all of the most-honest honesty, I already wrote this blog post once. I wrote it on my handheld device, accidentally hit the “back” key twice, erased it all, looked up and exhaled through my neck tension, and decided to go to bed. That was two nights ago. So: HERE WE ARE AGAIN. Fun (??)... Continue Reading →
Paul has mono. This is unfortunate. His voice sounds like maybe how your voice would sound if (1) you were trying to talk but also trying to gargle saltwater at the same time, so your mouth was full and your lips couldn’t close and your head was tilted back at an odd angle and (2)...

There are twins in my family—Paul and Christine. And whenever someone says they have twins in their family, or maybe they are a twin themselves, I always say, “Oh! I have twins, too!” But then I back-track and say, “Well, I mean, I have twin siblings.” I don’t want it to sound like I have... Continue Reading →
I live with my family. The direction we’re going is: in Catholic culture, we talk a lot about “community life” meaning, that life when you’re living with other people. And usually the verdict is that it’s hard and rough and requires virtue and more virtue to make it through. Maybe. But, I’m partial to that... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, at dinner I was like, "I'm going to do laundry tonight," and Paulie said, "I will help you." So, later, I went downstairs and I was like, "Paul, now it is time to do laundry." And he was like, "NO!" And I said, "Yes! It is! Come down here!" Then I started sorting all... Continue Reading →
My Christmas looked like this... And then...night! Christmas! Baby Jesus! The sibs kind of decided against the Midnight Mass option...and elected for the 7:30 a.m. mass instead, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. COUGH. I love this photo someone snapped, though: Merry Christmas, everybody!
Sunday was beautiful, so I decided to go for a hike. I was like, "Maybe I can ask a friend, and they'll want to hike with me." But, Julia is in grad school. And Hanna is now moved away. So instead I hiked alone, and I thought about that miserable time Hanna and I walked... Continue Reading →
I walked about on my lunch break, looking for beautiful things in my city. And I was not disappointed. What's beautiful for you today, friend?
