This is so great. I’m loving both the commentary and the photos on this site: (Found via Apartment Therapy’s Ohdeedoh…)
1001 rules for my unborn son
It made me think about advice my parents have given me… And I can’t actually come up with any. I know that my dad taught me that one shouldn’t talk about [...]

The VGT Omnivore’s One Hundred
I saw this on Silly Little Mischief and decided to try it instead of writing about American Theological Liberalism (the pre-1905 section).
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Italize out any items that you would never consider eating.
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros (but [...]
Warts and all
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged etymology, self-esteem, vanity on September 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
First of all, because I’m a nerd, a quick etymology search tells me that “wart” is related to the word “verruca,” which means “swelling, wart.” I made an instant connection. Get it? Remember Veruca Salt, from _Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory_?
Another search underlines the connection: “Dahl claimed that ‘Veruca Salt’ was the name of [...]
Monday, as planned v in reality

I always think that every free hour should be filled. Filled with meaningful, productive work, _not_ puttering.
My cousin Little Larry and I once discussed how our uncles and grandpa didn’t understand what we were doing in the city, because they couldn’t understand what we did. ie, what we _made_. We didn’t produce anything. Little Larry [...]
Summer into fall
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged fall, light, summer on September 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Last weekend definitely felt like the last day of summer. After Sunday school, the parish had a picnic at a beautiful home of one of the congregation. Ancient hydrangea bushed bowed low to the ground, full of their blooms. A peach tree stood alone in endless trails of morning glory and moonflowers. The kids splashed [...]
Being sick

I’m under the weather. Sore throat, runny nose, very tired and achey, and my ears hurt.
I’ve still been going to class, and work, but other than that—I’ve been sleeping when I want, and as much as I want. If I don’t want to eat, I don’t eat. If I want to eat, I eat. If [...]
Sunday school

With the new school year comes the start of Sunday school.
I teach at two churches, one in the morning and one in the evening on Sundays. Last year, the curriculum began with the story of baby Moses, and Miriam’s faith, and Moses’s adoption into the royal family.
My main method when teaching Sunday school is [...]
My little sister’s Burning Man wedding.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged beautiful, my sister, weddings on September 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m so thrilled for my sister–she and her (now husband) went off to the desert, with a beautiful gown for her, and his brother as ring-bearer, and got married at Burning Man. There was an incredible all-white chapel, and strange-beautiful structures, and a Celtic officiant. It looks like an end-of-the-world dream. I posted several photos [...]
My wedding blog
Posted in Uncategorized on September 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I just updated my wedding blog. They seem ubiquitous among certain women my age, but I don’t feel like I need to be ironic or “I need to be witty because this is a bit silly” about mine (except for calling it “ubiquitous,” I suppose.)
I like documenting our ideas, and communicating them with our families. [...]
