A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
I'm one of those "to the ends of the internet!" types who finds random articles and saves them for discussion. Unfortunately, those articles never actually get discussed, so they instead sit in their lonely Firefox tab, waiting for me to hover my mouse over their URLs and share with you all! It hit me recently just how many of those tabs I tend to have open... certainly far too many, a sure … [Read more...]
It was the wee hours of the morning when I received the text. I didn't process a lot of what was going on, just that it was storming out and that the blinding light from my iPhone rivaled the intermittent lightning outside. I rubbed my eyes, bleary from sleep, and rolled away from the light to wrap my arm around Matt. I don't remember much from that night, but when I finally saw the picture … [Read more...]
I haven't been here in a month, which makes me sad for so many reasons. My head hangs in shame as I realize how much time has passed and how many awesome things have happened since the last time I've updated. There have been things I've wanted to say, but I admit that I've been a bit lazy about writing them down. It wasn't until I got an email from a loyal friend and blog follower that she's … [Read more...]
We got a letter last week from the HOA about our "dead foliage" in the front yard. Apparently, the HOA was none too pleased that, in a fit of boredom, Matt decided to rip up a few of them and leave them out to dry, ha. So we took advantage of that letter and the nicer weather yesterday by revamping half of our front yard... and by "we", I mean "I", as he readily admits that I'm the brawn to his … [Read more...]
I know I don't do many of these, mostly because I want this blog to focus on spirituality (both for myself and as a whole) and food (because YUM), but there are some times when, as I read about your hopes and dreams and personal lives, I feel like sharing my own with you guys. This is one of those times. :) As I'm probably going to cover a lot of topics in one blog post, I'm including links … [Read more...]
To those in the Northern hemisphere who celebrate, a very happy and fun-filled Beltane to you! And to those brothers and sisters to the south, happy Samhain!! Since Matt and I will be out celebrating his favorite Sabbat (lol) with a bunch of friends and good drinks tonight, and considering I have work today, I don't have a great amount of time for a large Beltane post. Therefore, I'm going to … [Read more...]
This past Saturday, a couple friends (Beatnik Betty and Jane) and I checked out KIVA, a local folk music band, at New Deal Cafe. It was an absolute BLAST, and I'm so glad we went! That performance was in honor of and a fundraiser for their master drummer, Jaqui MacMillan, to raise some money after she had to undergo surgery. She was without playing her drums for eight weeks, y'all! If you're a … [Read more...]
Okay, I guess I've avoided this long enough. ;) I was recently tagged by a few people in this little meme, so let's get it going! The Rules: 1. Post these rules. 2. You must post 11 random thoughts about yourself. 3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post. 4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer. 5.

It has been quite an eventful week! Matt and I had a good chunk of time off this past weekend (I had a four-day, he had a three-'n'-half-day), which was spent frolicking around Maryland and generally having a great time. I got to meet another internet friend this past Thursday! Bethany (Beatnik Betty) and I have been LiveJournal friends for ages. Seriously, I don't even remember when we became … [Read more...]
This video needs to be everywhere. Seriously... everywhere. I have nothing more to add, she said it all perfectly. You go, Mrs. Clinton. Full transcript: Good evening, and let me express my deep honor and pleasure at being here. I want to thank Director General Tokayev and Ms. Wyden along with other ministers, ambassadors, excellencies, and UN partners. This weekend, we will … [Read more...]
