weekend ramble (a short list accompanied by zero pictures)
Is it actually a blog post if you don’t use any photos? You tell me. Here is what I did this weekend, in part: Felt burned out, exhausted and comatose. Tried to compensate for said feelings by spending my Friday night lying perfectly still eating strawberries dipped in Nutella and catching up on This Is Us. (I’d stopped watching for…

Five Finds Friday (this, that & the other, also blanket sweaters, food documentaries and college thoughts)
It’s been a little while so let’s see if I have Friday Fives within my abilities this week. You just never know. funny During last week’s writing class at Meadowlark, we worked on a project where we created bad titles and then tried to turn them into good poems. It was fun and I loved hearing what the kids…

according to the schedule, there’s no space for that
I do not have many minutes of unstructured “free” time in my current life schedule. It is likely true that I actually have none. This is the season in which I currently am living. It’s a full season. Not a busy season. (Well, you know – it’s a busy one too. So be it.) I’ve reached the nearly half a…

the weekend ramble
The weekend was gray and drippy and those are not two of my favorite words in describing a weekend. But still, I was grateful for school duties to be put on hold and work to take a backseat. Saturday was an early morning meeting about upcoming new kitchen counters – wood counters crafted by a local couple that I am…

a little step
I didn’t make any actual resolutions because follow through is not my jam. Kidding. Kind of. Small steps, little changes, have generally had more longevity in my own life. This is one of those. Just a teeny tiny little thing. I started putting this one into practice sometime in October. I like to do that. Not share with you guys…

the ramble (weekend & beyond)
I won’t pretend to try to keep up with all the holiday happenings and shenanigans. I will say that we were out of school for the better part of three weeks and I didn’t spend any day where I thought, “I have gobs of extra time here” and yet I didn’t write anything for this blog and I barely…

A Toe Tip In
What a long delicious break it was. It was a break from writing because I needed it. But it was also a break from writing because the back end of the my website has been All Kinds of Wonky and frankly, I’m still not certain it’s performing at peak level currently. Whatever peak level is. Peak level to me basically…

Five Finds Friday
It’s been a week. Which is a phrase that, if someone else said it, I might laugh. Because, well, yeah – of course it’s been a week. That’s how time works. It seems that this particular Christmas is the sort of Christmas where I’ve said, “Oh – we were supposed to go look at lights? Hmm. Maybe we won’t get…

five finds friday. (the wrong shoes & Christmas stuff)
This week has not felt like a regular week since before it began. Mainly because it started Sunday with the power out from a snow and ice storm that caused lots of trees to fall across lots of wires. But we have power now and we all have been singing the praises of modern technology since then. …

Dear Duke Energy Employees,
Hi Guys. You won’t have time to read this right now because you are busy serving and helping restore power to thousands of homes across Greenville County. (And elsewhere too, of course, but I’m currently talking about my family’s little corner of the world.) It was Saturday night – around 1 am – when the power that we absolutely…

what didn’t get done.
But seriously. I’m shutting the lap top (or about to) and it’s 1:49. A.M. That’s nonsense. And I have a list of Five Finds Fridays but I’m too tired to complete it now. I just finished writing the newsletter for Travelers Rest Here. (If you haven’t signed up, even if you’re not local, you totally should. It’s…
