discovering me

I forgot to post these pictures a few weeks ago of the quilt that I (and 11 other ladies) made for Elisabeth and Matthew’s wedding.

Here’s a picture of all the women who helped make a blog for the quilt.

Last week I was giving a ride to Ethan (the 12 year old son) and we started talking about movies. (He love movies—especially Star Wars and LOTR—I can’t imagine anyone I know could take him on in trivia about those movies—down to the name of each song in every scene.) He mentioned that recently his […]

There’s a family in my church for whom I occasionally act as chauffer when the parents are out of town. In most families you would refer to staying over for the weekend as babysitting, but the kids are so well-behaved (and yet not losing their kidness in some weird small adult/robot way) that my role […]

Last year I learned that eating a cornbog after going on a spinny ride is a bad idea. (Fortunatly this lesson stayed inside of me…)

This year I learned that eating anything after going 10 times in a row on a ride that spins you upside down 6 times is still a bad idea. My stomach […]

Dear Downstairs Neighbors,

I’ve been changing outside a lot late–mostly after Ultimate games when I’m heading to some air-conditioned eateries. Today, however, was a kickball game that had me in shorts and a tanktop just before heading to a chilly movie theatre. At the field I was down to my underwear behind a car door, and then later, […]

Where: Couger Mountain, hiking with Christa and Ezrah on Saturday

I’ve been meaning for sometime to keep a list (and post it in some form here) and tonight I had a great idea! (Is it unfair that i seem to have more [self-identified] great ideas than the average person.)
Have you seen those posters of famous people reading books? (Brian, i picked Mary Kate and Ashley […]

It was confirmed again this year that Graduation ceremonies put me in a bad mood. Oh well, only one more to go… Despite my bad attitude, there were some highlights– yummy dinner, seeing friends from college, hanging out with my brothers’ crew. (I had a hard time figuring out where to put the apostrophe in […]
