Big Whoop!: November 2009
http://big-whoop.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. I feel like it's been a bit too serious around here lately, that's why. All the King's Men. By Robert Penn Warren - This was one of Matt's favorite books this summer, so it's only fair I read it. So far, so good. An Alter in the World. By Barbara Brown Taylor - My women's bible study book, and it's awesome. Not cheesy. Awesome. And I'm not reading it yet, but I will be soon because I've made it my new tradition to reread it every Fall. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. OH MY...

Big Whoop!: April 2009

Thursday, April 30, 2009. Getting Things Running Again. My blog has been quiet for some time now. I've got a lot running through my mind blahblahblah laid off blahblah, so to get all the blah off my mind, I'm going to take a cue from others. Here are things that are totally making me smile right now:. 1 Among other things, I planted broccoli two weeks ago, and it's flowering! I love seeing the progress, and I feel proud like a mama. 6 We started reading Catcher in the Rye. 8 Knowing that God cares more a...

Big Whoop!: December 2008
http://big-whoop.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 22, 2008. The News Called It SNOWZILLA 08. Well, Matt and I are currently stuck at the airport. How fun! No, not really. How we've spent this weekend:. Saturday: Watch the entire season of Mad Men. Saturday night: church gets canceled, feel sad, start watching Friends. Sunday morning: wake up to more snow, start to panic about flying out in less than 24 hours. Sunday afternoon: drive to the store and get chains, stop in at New Seasons for soup samples. SO GLAD to get out of house. 5:30am...

Big Whoop!: January 2009
http://big-whoop.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 19, 2009. Monday: All Over the Place But With Exciting News. I don’t watch a ton of tv. But when I get into a show, I GET INTO IT. Do we even need to recap my obsession with Friends? Last month, Matt and I watched all the Mad Men. Episodes. So, naturally, I started drinking scotch and wearing bright red lipstick. We talk about what the main character, Don Draper, would do in a certain situation – a much dirtier, immoral version of the ol. Been feeling kind of old. Do you know why? 8217;t ...

Big Whoop!: July 2009
http://big-whoop.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 20, 2009. There's something very odd about being congratulated for filing unemployment. Here's how I interpret it:. You're only 26 and you've been laid off! You've got lots of school debt for a degree that can't get you a job! You're back at square one! If it wasn't for your husband, you'd either be living with your parents or in a gutter with feces on your face! Clearly, this calls for a celebration. I'm going straight to my backyard with a bottle of wine and a good book. We had also purcha...

Big Whoop!: September 2009
http://big-whoop.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. 8220;Pammy, can I pray for you? 8221; And after Pam said yes, Bellie scrunched her eyes shut, rested her hands palms up on her knees, and asked Jesus to help Pam feel better. And of course, I started crying. I don’t remember the last time I was humbled so fast. When was the last time my first response to an ache, a problem, a need was to pray? Has it ever been?

Girl From the North Country. A Minnesota Yankee In California's Court. January 13, 2013. I admit that I was cold today. Five years in California ruins your blood. Still, this is pretty funny.

Big Whoop!: March 2010
http://big-whoop.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. The Trouble With Starting Over. In Portland, during the summers when I wasn’t working (but still getting paid, which is infinitely better than not), I spent a lot of time hanging out with my girlfriends. We’d get coffee, see a movie, go to a happy hour, or shop. 1) We were both eating at a vegan restaurant, so maybe we have similar food habits. 3) I wanted to wear her clothes, which means she would be a good shopping friend. I jokingly told Matt I wanted to ask her to hang out, ...

The Life Intentional: HK Shots: Golden Dragon
http://mylifeintentional.blogspot.com/2014/08/hk-shots-golden-dragon.html
Monday, August 4, 2014. HK Shots: Golden Dragon. This is Falcor. Well, I'm sure that's not his real name, but I decided to name him after the Good Luck Dragon from Neverending Story. It fits, I think. There's a plaque near Falcor. I guess it's telling about how this golden dragon got there, but I can't read it since it's all in Chinese. One day, maybe I will. I like comments just as much as fresh guacamole and chips! Well, maybe not quite that much. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Cream of Wheat with...

The Life Intentional: March 2014
http://mylifeintentional.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2014. A Nail and a Calendar. I have one lamp, and its light-bulb burned out at least a month ago. Also, I bought a calendar, probably also a month ago, and it's been sitting on my floor since I didn't have a way to hang it up. Yeah, I tend to procrastinate on house things. So I needed a light-bulb and a nail. Found 13 word entries for "nail". Nail (as in fingernail or toenail). A nail; a snag. Eyesore; thorn on one's side, person hated (lit., "nail in the eye"). Since in "nail gun" I k...
