A response to a comment

I received a comment in my comments (lol, obviously, Kim!) from my sister, Jenny, who wrote quite the response. I was going to respond in the comments, but the response grew and grew, so I decided to just turn it into a post. Jenny, I welcome anything more you have to say, as your response [...]

Living as an Ordinary Radical: A Book Review

I recently read “The Irresistible Revolution” by Shane Claiborne. Wow.

Shane asks some big questions about life and brings into question the way that modern-day Christians live. It resonated with me in such a big way – I’ve always felt discomforted by the “health, wealth, and happiness” promises of modern Christianity when the Bible contradicts [...]

A Birthday, a Belly, and a Bed-and-Breakfast

Well, this weekend I was lucky enough to see my whole family! It was my grandmother’s 80th birthday party, and so we traveled to the Cobourg/Port Hope/Peterborough area for a celebration. The party itself was on Saturday afternoon. The afternoon was good – but long. And there were lots of awkward moments (especially, I’m sure, [...]

Dear Kim.

You are the most inconsistent blogger in the whole wide world (although I’m sure this can’t be completely true!). Please learn to post at least three times a week – an amount that will likely hold people’s attention, unlike 1 – 2 times per week. This is a completely unacceptable amount (**please note, this statement [...]

Five Funky Facts . . .

Following are five funky facts for this Friday’s post. (and some good alliteration, darn it!)
1. The apartment building across from us is falling down. The retaining wall (it’s built behind a park and up a good 30 – 40 feet) is crumbling and people were evacuated around a month ago – I don’t think they’ve [...]

Tuesdays (or Thursdays, depending on my work schedule) are for …

Going to the market! Now, I had a whole huge post planned out on this topic, that was going to be complete with a picture of the items that I purchased today that I lugged home on my back, but my camera battery needs recharging (boo!!!) – so that’s that! Maybe another week I’ll play [...]

For Mother’s Day, if you could give your mom anything in the world, what would it be?

Hmmmm … this is a tricky one! There’s the “big new house” or “fancy new car” or even, in the case of my mom, “grand opera [...]

As Promised …

Here are some pics of my hair, nostril piercing and tattoo.
There are some things I’d like you to know first.
1. I took all of these pictures myself with the help of my bedroom mirror. I looked in the mirror at the screen of my camera and took the pics. Not so easy. Especially to get [...]

Randomness: Nosy Movie Questions

randomness…feed your mind and your blogweek of May 6: At the Movies
1. Do you like going to the movie threater? How often do you go? What treats do you buy when you go?
Brad and I looooove going to the movies – many of our dates in the first few years we dated revolved around films. [...]

I’ve been gone … oh so long …

But I’m BACK!!!! (I know, I know, you’re really excited)
My apologies for the prolonged absence. Here’s a list to make it up to you.
1. We bought our camera!!! We got the Casio Exilim on the recommendation of two of my work colleagues. It’s beautiful. If you click on the link, and hover over the colours, [...]
