Whenever I think I’m really losing it, I turn to the lovely people of the internet. I adore you all, you t-shirt piling, grocery bag packing, towel straightening, list writing people, you. As soon as I finished that last post, I broke a nail, then spent 15 minutes carefully filing down all my other nails […]
Meme Monday, Music Monday, and Snow in May
May 5, 2014 by
When I was growing up there was a woman at our church who cried at everything; every Christmas pageant, baptism, confirmation, or program, the woman was an emotional mess, and just like anything that I may have rolled my eyes at in one point in my life, it has come back to haunt me. I […]

Over the past six weeks or so, the kids’ classes have been doing something that I think is pretty cool and interesting, and also indicative of how very different this city is than when I was growing up.

April 3, 2014 by
I hear that it has been the coldest, longest, grossest winter since 1978, nation-wide. I think all those people who cheerily say how much they love winter are even down in the dumps about it. So I’m a little shy to say that I skipped out on the last two weeks – missing snow and minus-double-digit […]
