Today's poem has more of a story than I posted on facebook. It's always like that, isn't it? After Presbytery last February I stopped on the way home with a friend who had also gone to the meetings. It was one of those things where most of my group was eating the provided lunch that was all kinds of glutenous and so I was going to just go and ( Read more... )

Maybe if I cross-post the poems that I'll inflict on facebook, it'll spark me to post more regularly here. I'd really like to get back into the habit.

I've grown to passionately love poetry over the last 5 or 10 years. I (like every other emo teen) dabbled in writing mediocre actively bad poetry, but since I didn't bother actually reading any, I ( Read more... )

It's been literally 2 years since I updated this blog. 2 years. To be honest I mostly forgot it was here. Maybe the era of the LJ is over.

Still, though, I found it last week and slowly re-read every post.

So much I'd forgotten. So many funny or sweet or sad memories. I wish I could go back in time and shake my former self and make her take that ( Read more... )

I think I'm pretty well prepared for our trip to AZ. Well, I'm as well prepared as a lady who doesn't own a pair of shorts can be, I guess. Going to have to do some shopping this weekend, I guess ( Read more... )

A quick update, bullet point style:

• Tracey has moved out. Alas, her stuff has not. Well, most of it has, and she finally got her food out of the fridge and pantry. The plan is that she'll come back on Saturday and get the rest. The impression I get is that things are not going as nicely as she'd hoped they would go. I hope her life goes more ( Read more... )

OK, sorry about that. Hopefully I can hang on to the degree of lucid thought required for this to be finished today ( Read more... )

There's a problem... ok, maybe not a problem, maybe just an inconsistency... that's been bothering me for a couple of years now and I'm finally both annoyed enough and and time-rich enough to pursue working it all out. This issue isn't going to interest anyone but me- even the dorkiest people I know just kind of "oh, yes, ah, ok" me when we talk ( Read more... )

I went to Florida last week. It sounds odd to say that, given my normal mundane, housewife life, but I did, I went to Florida for my conference and now I'm back ( Read more... )

I've got a lot of travel coming up and that makes me very happy. I go to Florida tomorrow to get my geek on at a theology conference. Best part of that- I've splurged and I'm taking a sleeper car down and back. 22 hours of blissful solitude each way. I don't want to be a whiner or act like my lot in life is particularly difficult because it's not, ( Read more... )

Babs asked a question in the comments that I started to answer and then wrote a book about. So I cut and pasted it here. Thanks, Babs!

So, what made you choose Arizona if you don't have plans for what to do yet? Some deranged love of warmth, you sicko? ;)Yeah, I can't deny the warmth factor. I hate being cold ( Read more... )
