  • Here I am at Erin's house. Settled? No. Hardly. Bleh . . . . I love Erin and I love her family, but I'm already tired of the wandering gypsy life that will be mine these next three weeks. It would probably be more f…

  • Depression. I am officially no longer a Grace student. Because they ended my Grace account and I can no longer use that email address. SORROW! So, if you want to get a hold of me, you're going to have to use the new …

  • "What good is it for me that my nimble wit could run through those studies and disentangle all those knotty volumes, without help from a human teacher, since all the while I was erring so hatefully and with such sacrileg…

  • I have made a discovery. I have discovered--all by myself, mind--that it is remarkably difficult to speak logic to drugged people. Rather, you can speak to your little heart's content . . . just like you can speak logi…

  • "If physical objects please you, praise God for them, but turn back your love to their Creator, lest, in those things which please you, you displease Him. If souls please you, let them be loved in God; for in themselves …

  • "For wherever the soul of man turns itself, unless toward Thee, it is enmeshed in sorrows, even though it is surrounded by beautiful things outside thee and outside itself. For lovely things would simply not be unless th…

  • Well, I was going to post a picture of my newest art project, but blasted Madame Technology refuses to treat me kindly, so no pictures, my dears. Sorry! It's a really pretty one too . . . . Guess what! My pickles tu…

  • So I went to my first home group meeting last night, and I brought cookies, and was therefore more than welcome. At the very last minute I was spared from the unthinkable embarrassment of having to bring my plate of cook…

  • Look. See. Understand. Know, O ye doubters, why I tremble to walk into my kitchen in these dire times. Isn't he . . . hideous? Now you too have seen Boris. Anyway, I figured it was about time for pictures again. So…

  • Esther wrote me a wonderful email (hi, Esther!) in which she said something that spoke to EXACTLY what I'm feeling like right now (hope you don't mind my quoting you, darlin'!): "It seems that whenever I reach a new lev…

  • I finally did it. I made pickles!All by myself, I'll have you know. I went into this venture with some trepidation. You see, last night I had my first cooking disaster of the summer, which definitely set my culinary sp…

  • I think I am, in fact, the world's worst best friend. Erin would disagree, but I feel thoroughly dejected right now. BAH! So why is it, if I get in trouble with her employer, that has to reflect badly on her? And, by…

  • I got a new cell phone! Hoorah! I got a new cell phone . . . again . . . . Well, maybe this one won't be possessed? That would be nice. Maybe this one will actually ring when someone tries to call? That would be nice t…

  • Do you ever wish you hadn't said something . . . and at the same time feel just as glad that you did? If not, I don't think you're human. Anyway, I just had a very brief phone conversation this morning in which I said …

  • Just so you know, if you ever did feel the sudden urge to go back an reread my old xanga posts, it wouldn't irritate me. Actually, it would probably make me smile . . . a little bit . . . . Thought I'd mention that, in …

  • I was thinking last night . . . about my writing. Realizing just how long I've had this xanga . . . and thinking how, well, if anyone were to take the time to go back and read this thing from the beginning they: a) wer…

  • Would you like to know a sure-fire way to depress Yours Truly down into a sniffling lump of maudlin sentiment? End a book with this line: "With that, he turned on heel and disappeared into the Darkness." Leaving her b…

  • I was many things yesterday. I was a dragon, and a queen, a mermaid and a wicked sea-queen, I was a fairy godmother and a wicked stepmother, and a doctor to sick trains (they had colds . . . ?). I was also a store cler…

  • AE: "So, guess what!" David: "What?" AE: "I'm starting my nanny job in two days!" David: "Yay! Nanny Annie!" Long pause. AE: "Oh, yuck!" It only got worse from there, however. David: "You're like, a cross between …

  • And today, I took my adventuresome self to the library . . . What's more, I acquired a library card, and therefore have a purpose for existence once more. Hoorah! It's another one of those slooooooooow days, but not to…

  • All right, so we definitely lost our Internet access from home . . . . But I, courageous creature that I am, have decided to take life by the reigns. I made the whole three minute drive to a nearby coffee shop with wire…
