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 thatContinueContinue reading “Family life family time”

Together!
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 allContinueContinue reading “Together!”
These daily moments
On Friday my youngest brother turned older because it was his birthday. In my family, sometimes, if you’re lucky, you get to pick what you have for dinner when it’s your birthday, and Josh has picked Kentucky Fried Chicken every year for the past many (to my mother’s chagrin), so that was what happened onContinueContinue reading “These daily moments”
PALM story!
Remember when I was riding my bike across the state last week so I didn’t really post a whole lot? Yes. Well. Here’s a story for you. Background: Every day there were about fifty miles to ride on the tour. Those fifty miles would project you from point A to point B in pretty muchContinueContinue reading “PALM story!”
All she do is win
One day last week I sat with my younger sister in an Applebee’s, which, as I pointed out, basically serves airplane food. Applebee’s may serve airplane food, but some of its menu caters to the gluten-free crowd, and I belong to the crowd, and I needed the food, for the next day I planned onContinueContinue reading “All she do is win”
What SHE Wore Wednesday
I guess we’re just on a Christine kick around here… http://youtu.be/8y3MHPe6bOI Here’s a video of what she wore when she rolled in from work. But! Then we changed and went downtown to eat burgers. She just started a club, you see, of burger-eating. But you can only go if you’re SERIOUS about eating burgers. But,ContinueContinue reading “What SHE Wore Wednesday”
Things Christine said today
Ya’ll remember my sister, Christine. She’s pretty dang hilarious in her ultra-blunt way. While riding our bikes, and I was going a tad bit faster then she wanted: Christine: “Remind me again–is this some kind of a race? I thought not. Soooo, we can go slower, then.” Observing the glorious beauty that is a summerContinueContinue reading “Things Christine said today”
Giggly things
Four things that have made me laugh. A list. First. This text from an UNREVEALED FRIEND: “Sometimes, I think that if someone else saw your texts, they’d think you’d been drinking.” My response: “Sometimes I realize that if someone saw me/ overheard any of my convos/ watched my dance/ wondered how I matched my clothes,ContinueContinue reading “Giggly things”
Faces y places
Supposed to be What-I-Wore-Wednesday, I know. But I’m just wearing a million winter clothes in a million layers and my BUSINESS hat because: Valetine-y business in the city! 🙂 We’ve been having some fun, and here are some photos. First of all, I was looking back in the archives of the ol’ blog. This wasContinueContinue reading “Faces y places”
Do you want to build a snowman???
Saturday morning found me outside scraping snow and ice off of our driveway for the THREE MILLIONTH time and, what can I say, I have mixed feelings about our recent “most snow evah!!11!” award. Because, on one hand, I’d rather we just left that record back in ’78 but, on the other hand, I’M GLADContinueContinue reading “Do you want to build a snowman???”
