At the age of six, as my fingers first found how to shape the alphabet, I decided to become a person of letters…I am still studying verbs and the mystery of how they connect nouns. I am more suspicious of adjectives than at any other time in all my born days. I have forgotten the [...]

Like I really needed something else to help me procrastinate..
Last week. Was. Horrific. Oh my gosh. I don’t even want to think about it.
There were a few good points. One or two.
1. My college supervisor observed me teaching, and it went phenomenally well. Like, super amazing. (My mom acts completely non-surprised: ‘I’ve always said you could do anything you put your mean little head [...]

9 for (what’s left of)* ‘09
I was skimming through the archives a minute ago, and I came across my list of resolutions for 2009. I’m not linking back to it here, because I’m a little embarrassed at how little I’ve accomplished. I have learned to bake pretty good bread, so that’s one thing checked off, at least.
Maybe it’s time for some [...]

Daring Girls Reading List
Just found a link to that reading list I wrote about the other day; thought some of you might be interested to see what’s on it. Scroll down to pages three-five.
Speaking of mother-daughter book clubs (the first two pages of the link, for those of you non-link-clickers), I always push books into my mom’s hands. [...]

Happy Halloween
I made a Halloween costume for one of my best friends this year.
It was my first sewn garment.
I will not be appearing on Project Runway anytime soon.
What was it?
I’ll give you a clue.
She wasn’t Dorothy.
Actually, that’s two clues, because now you know it was for a girl, too.

Can I just read for a living?
One of my favorite things is to walk through my house and see every single member of my family reading a book. It makes me think twice about having a t.v. in my future home (although I am rather attached to Glee, and Project Runway, and The Hills/The City<-don’t mock) (and speaking of, there’s this [...]

Fall is here and I love it!
A little while back I was wearing this outfit:
And I got the following comment from a random guy I passed: “That’s a serious look. I like it.”
I chose to believe he was referring to my outfit, which was a serious look for a rainy Wednesday on a college campus, and not the look on my face [...]

If my life was a Nora Ephron movie, it would have a really great soundtrack.
If you know me at all, you probably know that my very most favorite movie is “You’ve Got Mail”. I love Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, her hair, the music, her BOOKSHOP, HER APARTMENT!! Ackk!!
So I made a quilt inspired by the quilt on her bed in that movie.
It’s a smallish, lap quilt sized throw based on [...]

Meet the Author
Beverly Lewis, aka one of my top three favorite authors of Christian fiction ever, was in a town 45 minutes from my house last Tuesday afternoon. So you better believe I loaded myself up in my car and headed up there! I’ve been reading Beverly Lewis books for the past 6 years or so. I [...]
