I’ve had this trip to New York planned for several months, and it was just dumb luck that put me there the same weekend as the peace march, but as always, I’m grateful every time for the opportunities that dumb luck sends my way. I haven’t participated in something of this magnitude in several [...]
Today I did a assortment of things that brought me happiness, both in the doing of the individual tasks and in the wholeness of their collective.
I lay in bed until ten, stretching my body to take up all the space the bed had to offer. I made french toast, mixing the eggs and milk [...]
I’m tired and my feet hurt from dancin’, but it’s been a good day.
(In reverse order)
I danced my tush off on the 33rd floor of the Lowes Hotel.
I attended the wedding of friends who are deeply in love.
I hung with the Philly bloggers for an hour at the November meetup at Fergie’s.
I decorated the bedroom [...]
I’ve now experienced a whole slew of emotions in relation to this reunion. I started out at anxious, followed by skeptical and uncertain. Then came mildly intrigued, pleasantly surprised and reservedly enthusiastic. Today I’ve traveled through relative enjoyment, total nostalgia, hilarity, complete joy and utter fantastic-ness (that was after three and half [...]
Philadelphia has some amazing outdoor spaces, and so many of them are drastically underutilized. Tonight we had the Unitarian Young Adult potluck in Fairmount Park, on the Belmont Plateau. It is a vast stretch of lawn with a view of Center City that is impressed in the day and in the twilight. [...]
I’ve always been good at first dates and job interviews. Really, they require some of the same skills–presenting yourself clearly, articulately and in good light. Being enthusiastic and engaged in the conversation. Avoiding picking your nose or scratching your crotch. Not mentioning that you still sleep with your baby blanket. [...]
Yesterday while I was driving home from work, my mind was clicking away, generating one great idea after another of things for me to write about in this space. But as we all know, it’s not the greatest idea to take notes while driving (especially on Kelly Drive) so I didn’t write any of [...]
I had a spectacular day, and it wasn’t even my birthday today (yesterday)! Tomorrow, the actual day of my birthday I head to DC for my UUA Young Adult and Campus Ministry training of trainers. Hopefully it will be a fun weekend! I’ll write more when I get back, or maybe while [...]
So I’ve had a busy week. I keep thinking about blogging, and then I don’t.
But here I am, back and totally exhausted. Tonight was the church service auction, of which Cindy and I were co-chairs. We did pretty darn well, raising over $10,000 for the church, which is pretty awesome, if you [...]
I have to admit, I have a wonderful life. Take today for example.
The Dansko outlet (half off retail price) was my first stop. I don’t think that you understand the extent to which I love Danskos (”It’s not a clog, it’s a Dansko.”) When I have them on my feet, I’m a [...]
