Recently I found a new walking route, which gets me out of the townhouse/apartment invaded Menno land that I live in and into the country, where I can see the mountains and smell farms. (I’m a country girl, smelling farms is important, even the not nice smells) Anyway, because I have a love affair with [...]

Zucchini Economy
Posted in Uncategorized on August 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I was just ruminating on what our world would be like if we had a zucchini economy. Here’s what I mean: in the last several weeks I’ve been the benefactor of one of my friends over-producing zucchini plants. My friends begged me to take all the squash in their garden. “We can’t use it. We’ve [...]
The World Breaks Everyone

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward many are strong in the broken places.”- Ernest Hemingway.
Part of the above quote was a sermon title written by a good friend of mine and posted on her blog. I’ve been thinking about it all week. I even wrote it on a post-it, which I’ve stuck to various parts [...]
Things I feel mildly guilty about

1) Enjoying fireworks on the fourth of July. I know in my head that they simulate bombing and that our national anthem is all about war (do you think this might have shaped our national identity as a country constantly at war?) But all that aside, fireworks are really freakin’ cool.
2) Throwing away food. I [...]

The booties and hat I crocheted have turned into a useful (or at least semi-useful) items for Heidi Schoenhals. Congratulations to Mark and Sarah!
Saying No – FAIL
Posted in Uncategorized on April 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
While Easter is still a few days away, I think it’s safe to say that I mostly failed at my attempt to give up saying “Yes” to things for Lent. Once or twice I thought about it but given my current level of energy I think it’s safe to say that I failed. Thank goodness [...]
What to give up for Lent?
Posted in Uncategorized on February 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today is the first day of Lent. I’m trying to decide what to give up, if anything. The purpose of giving up something for Lent I think has something to do with identifying with the suffering of Christ, although I wonder if giving up french fries or chocolate really helps me do that. I have [...]

For people who read this but don’t have Facebook, this is a thing that’s going around Facebook lately. It’s kind of like the Facebook version of a chain letter, but somehow most people are less annoyed by it than a chain letter. Anyway, the idea is that you come up with 25 random things about [...]
I love my cat but…

Those of you who know me know how much I love my cat. She’s my baby. And she’s good training for eventual parenthood (maybe more in a future post) I love my cat but tonight, when I wanted to go for a walk… I wished I had a dog.
Rachel was right….

hats are hard. (see comment on below post if you’re confused) So I attempted a hat, using some yarn I found at Big Lots. And it was way to big, unfortunately I didn’t realize until I had spent about an hour or so on it. So I think I’m going to take it apart and [...]
