Not feeling that well last night, I snuggled into bed, in my pajamas, with Netflix, looking for something to watch. I flicked through the titles for a while - wanting something that wouldn't require a lot of thought, elicit a lot of emotion, but wouldn't be too incredibly stupid. Do any of you have good… Continue reading Looking Cool on TV
Our journey is finally at an end. I, for one, am happy to be finished watching Ben and his hair. Did you know this was "the most controversial finale in Bachelor history"? The final days find us still in Switzerland, in Zermatt, near the Matterhorn (I love that ride at Disneyland). Once again, Switzerland is… Continue reading The Bachelor Finale
It's Monday and it's grey/rainy outside but I'm in a good mood for some reason. My theory is it's the extra hour of light yesterday. I have a confession: I think daylight savings rocks. In the fall we get an extra hour of sleep and in the spring we get more daytime. I like both… Continue reading Happy Things
It's another cloudy, dreary day in the Fraser Valley today and my heart is aching for cherry blossoms. I'm looking forward to the weekend and getting to see some friends, as well as daylight savings coming. (Losing the hour of sleep is a small price to pay for longer daylight hours, I think.) On Wednesday… Continue reading A Snowy, March Adventure
This week I've learned to bite my tongue. Or I'm trying to at least. I'm learning that arguments don't always convince others and, in fact, can be detrimental. I'm learning the importance of being informed and just how infuriating misinformation can be. I'm learning that it's good to stand up for what you believe in… Continue reading Hey Christians!
I'm a little later than usual with this update. For those of you waiting for this with bated breath, I both apologize and suggest you find something else to do. This week's been a little stressful so far so when Peter suggested a bicycle ride along the dike, I jumped at the chance to get… Continue reading The Bachelor – The Women Tell…some stuff
Peter and I went on a mini-vacation yesterday. Between the time he got home from work at 3pm and the time we had to be at Bible study at 7pm, we had a holiday. That might not sound like enough time to go on vacation but we managed to make it to another country and… Continue reading Tiny Vacation
...Or I might. Who's to say? They're just not that common and who knows what I'll be doing four years from now. I think there's something really charming about leap years. It reminds us that our human sense of timing just isn't quite right. Obviously our calendar is the best one we have (hence why… Continue reading I May Never Blog on a Leap Year Again…
We are almost at the end of this magical journey. Or, as Ben calls it, "incredible journey." Ben, the book was better. Frankly, I'm ready to say good-bye and good riddance to all of these ridiculous folks. But first some thoughts on last night: Switzerland looks beautiful and like a wonderful place to visit. Looking… Continue reading The Bachelor Goes to Switzerland
So, it's snowing. Right now. It's snowing. I am astonished. Anyway, that's not what I was going to write about. What I wanted to say was this: I love thrift stores. I'm not going to hide it any more. Actually, I don't know if I ever hid this. If I had to come up with… Continue reading An Open Confession of my Love for Thrift Stores
