A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
I turn 27 today. :) Hooray! Matt is currently just finished cooking us a fantastic dinner of spinach and ricotta ravioli with homemade rosemary butter sauce and sun-dried tomatoes, a delicious way to cap off his "amuse-bouche" (in quotes because, rather than the traditional single bite, it was more like 5 or 6, but I'll let him call it what he wants!) of a flaky pastry, roasted mushroom and … [Read more...]
I know that I let Samhain in a Week kind of slide away from me up to and through Samhain itself, and for that, I apologize. There was so much great information I wanted to share with you all that I didn't get the chance to. Fortunately, the wheel turns and a new year will come, so before you know it, I'll have another series and so much more delicious info for you! My absence was for a really … [Read more...]
Using the dough from last night, Matt and I made some incredible calzones that I know y'all will just love. The dough is really what takes forever; the rest of this takes mayyyybe 30 minutes, so if you have the dough prepped already, you can have a delicious meal in no time at all. Oh, and I completely forgot today was Meatless Monday. Happy Monday, y'all! Ingredients * whole wheat … [Read more...]
Whew! I feel like I've left most of y'all in a lurch, and for that, I'm really sorry! This week has been absolutely insane, so I haven't had the chance to do much of... well, anything but those things that were then on my plate. First, I got a new job! My last day at my old firm was Wednesday. It was actually a very lovely day with wrapping up work, having pizza with my coworkers, and … [Read more...]
This week has been an absolute whirlwind, and in an effort to both slow it down and create a space that is soothing and spiritual, I've been rearranging our third bedroom as an "altar room." It's not even close to finished as I have quite a few things to move out and some decorating to do, but by the time it's done, I'm hoping to use it as a place where I can do private ritual and yoga … [Read more...]
I have been horrible with updating this week, but it's for good reason, I promise. I was out of the house every day from about 7am to 10pm, and had an incredibly busy weekend to boot. It was a fantastic week, though! This whole week was spent volunteering as an orchestra member for a local summer opera workshop. In case you don't know, I'm a violinist, have been since I was 13. I only started … [Read more...]
In a feeble attempt to calm her nerves, she focuses instead on the red numbers from the digital clock that illuminates the kitchen as they walk by. Wow, it is late, she thinks absentmindedly. He follows only a few steps behind her, and she wonders if he can smell the day campers and movie theatre popcorn on her clothes... or if, beyond all that, he can smell her apprehension. She really has … [Read more...]
I am so sorry for the lack of posts lately! Work has been insane with cases moving very quickly, home has been crazy with all the stuff that comes with having a new house, and life in general is nuts with things all piling on at once. But it's fun, I swear! :P Since I have nothing too constructive to post at the moment (partially because I'm having the darnedest time with GFC and a few other … [Read more...]
Tomorrow, it begins...My paralegal certification exams start tomorrow. Yikes!While I'm not nearly as nervous now as I was a couple weeks ago (wherein increased anxiety led to a panic attack which led to baking), I'm still a bit edgy about it. I've been studying on and off for the past couple weeks, and I'm feeling increasingly confident as I realize it's paying off and I'm retaining more than I … [Read more...]
Happy Monday, everyone! :) Save for the fact that you're either at work or school (or doing whatever responsibilities you might have put off for the weekend), it's a great Monday, isn't it? Not so much for myself and Matt, as we're dragging ourselves to work with stuffy noses, congested chests, and achy muscles. But as we're not so sick that we have to stay home, off to the firm and to NASA we … [Read more...]
