miscellaneonity

All is summed up in the prayer which a young female human is said to have uttered recently: 'Oh God, make me a normal twentieth-century girl!' Thanks to our labours, this will mean increasingly, 'Make me a minx, a moron, and a parasite' ~Clive Staples


a few crucial updates in my incredibly normal life (warning--for those interested in anything remotely thoughtful or thought provoking, this blog is intended purely for mundane life updates):


i'm officially in love. with this ice cream. it blows my mind. my dear friend stephanie recently composed a blog regarding a book that had struck her so much that she wanted to hand it out on the street (and i strongly encourage anyone to check out her blog for more details). i had a similar experience with this.




moving on. jesse has finally started a blog, and it is highly worth examining. feel free to check it out. in addition to his blogging and new role as my golf instructor, he also found some time to practice his bruce campbell skills in preparation for the imminent zombie/living dead invasion.




i have given womanhood a second shot and just finished (thanks to a significant amount of help from my dear sister jilene and her patient husband david--aka jil and dave or dilene... i'm still trying that one out) making an ottoman for our sad, little living room. this baby was a sweet DI find, and after far too much time dedicated to sanding, staining, and upholstering, the project is complete.





at the advice of a friend, jesse recently checked out the public library book store (approximately three feet from our apartment... give or take a few hundred yards), and picked me up some SWEET finds for an even better price. it is, in a phrase, the happiest place on earth.




lastly, i only have one week of summer school left. this is blog-worthy only because i am reaching my threshold of questions such as "is that what God thinks?" from students in the class...



alright, blog out.

I am loving the "mundane"... I think your life and the way you share it, is more than interesting. That is why, I confess, I check your blog each day, hoping to find a new entry. I love the furniture and am looking forward to reading Jesse's blog. I like how you said, I gave "womanhood" a second chance. I can relate.

yeah, i forgot to mention, martha (ahem, me) would never be able to pull of refinishing a piece of furniture for a home.

and i like jesse's blog. does he feel weird that girls he's never met are reading it?

no, i think he's more worried that NO ONE will read it. that would be e-embarrassing...
