So way in the heck back in May, when school had just gotten out and I had a brief window of time and energy to try out all the projects and that had been brewing in my head all that busy semester, I started an experiment. I had been gluten-free since January 1, with pretty … More Where I am on the Gluten Train (Short Answer: Sourdough)
The week before Thanksgiving marked the receipt of our last regular CSA box from Penn’s Corner. Now it’s almost halfway through December, and I’m still catching up with food from before Halloween! So go the holidays. Forgive me for not remembering much of what happened to earlier foods; to spare you a lot of “I … More CSA-ccountability, Month #7 – October/November
Short post today, since I am personally not done resting this Sabbath. And by “resting” I mean “completely cheating” since I’m going to go play more Secret of Monkey Island (TM). (An aside for the nerds: I laughed out loud at the solution to the tethered-underwater problem. It was a joke about inventory puzzles during … More Moment of Cheese
We are pretty excited about Advent around here. Not only is this the first year we have a kidlet old enough to share some advent traditions with, but this is the first year in four that Advent hasn’t been shared with the End of Semester Press. It is hard to get your Liturgical New Year … More All my Advent Thoughts
Uf, I feel terribly behind on blogging. On this site I don’t feel like a two week absence is really worth comment, but yesterday I listed out all the posts I have been wanting to write, and I really am terribly behind. There’s gluten experiments to update you on, veggies to report, advent fun… even … More {pretty, funny, happy, real} – year’s end edition
{pretty} So I set out to try PFHR as a way to talk about something other than stuff I knit. But this week I couldn’t help but remember that I still haven’t shown you Carina’s wedding shawl. And there’s so much to this story of pretty than just what I knit. And if you stick it … More {pretty, funny, happy, real} wedding edition
Zing Zang Zoom, I finished two things. Two things that were so near completion when I last showed them to you, that I will compress their Finishing Announcement into one big post with lots of pictures, and more words than is either just or fitting. Week 1 of potty training, when it wasn’t about wiping pee … More Done and Done and Eek!
Recently, I have expressed, both privately to myself, and here on the internet, and out loud with my vocal chords to humans in my presence, a desire to make my writing here on The Blog more theological. More reflective. This hasn’t really happened, despite my having more thoughtful writing ideas than I can remember (and … More {pretty, happy, funny, real}: poop edition
Today, as part of my sabbath rest, I stood in a sunbeam doing sorcery. Sunbeams are in short supply around here. November has kicked October out with a series of intensely overcast days, sometimes so dark that our alley streetlight is on at noon. The sort of days when when I go outside, knowing that soaking … More Magic in a Drop of Sun
We found out a week ago that we are having another little girl. (“Patricia” being her gender-ified in-utero nickname, NOT her real name. Haven’t decided on that yet.) We’re very pleased. We are sure boys are fun and stuff, but we’d gladly raise a houseful of girls. And I just realized… now I get to … More “Patricia”
