I seriously just did that.

Joe took me out to my all-time favorite restaurant for dinner last night.  It was actually the second time we went in the last 3 days, but the chance to eat at Radio Maria comes but few times a year so I didn’t mind taking generous advantage of it.
We decided to sit outside to enjoy [...]

Please refrain from reading between the lines

I’ve been working on finding a job like its my job.  Last week when attempting to apply for a position at a small Christian school I was asked to answer additional application questions concerning my teaching methodology and ability to serve the school’s mission.
What motivates you to teach at a liberal arts college? What positive [...]

I’m glad to see that you’re eating your vegetables

In the past few weeks I’ve noticed that food has been getting stuck in my front teeth with increasing frequency.  This, of course, is rather embarrassing.  But more than that, what concerns me is that fact that food hadn’t gotten stuck before and this can only mean that the orthodontia is failing.  My teeth are [...]

Today should have been an Iron & Wine kinna day

If you work in my office this morning just so happen to have the unfortunate thought of “ooooh What did the cat dragged in?” the answer to this pondering would be, me!
When I left the apartment around 6:15 this morning, trudging my way across town on foot to get to mass, it was lightly raining.  [...]

Still jump’n after all ‘a these years

In the car this evening Stephanie voiced her want for a Moon Jump at her next birthday party. She wondered if there was a weight limit–would it be okay for a number of adults to be in it at the same time?
All of us agreed that there wasn’t a reason we could think of [...]

And worst of all, no one here thinks I’m funny

I’m in a class called Storytelling, which is, in fact, a class that teaches students to be better storytellers.  Although I took it with the desire for a more light-hearted summer course I admit that I’m really enjoying it.
This week we’ve been working on family and personal stories.  Although I feel that I’ve got some [...]

how’d you get to be so pretty?

I know it looks like I’m rock’n a new shade of red eye-shadow, but the reality is that it is just irritated skin.  Every time I look in the mirror I wonder when I took the time to put on make-up…but then I realize that it actually looks quite awful.
Keep on keep’n on!

The Other KJ emails me today:
Not to be sacrilegious, …but, the thought came to my mind: “If Jesus was 2.0, would he be a twitter guy, facebook stud, or a blogger man?”
To which I responded:
Paaalease.  Jesus transcends time.  Of course he’s a 2.0 guy/God.
Let me get all Trinitarian on you here, but I think he’d [...]

It’s my fashion and I’ll do what I want to

I guess I think a lot more about outfits and organizing and decorating than I tell myself.
Last week I bought some new sheets at Target (I only have winter ones!) and showed them to Sandy.  “I’ll need to get a new duvet…I was thinking brown or a light blue to match.  Generic enough, I don’t [...]
