I'm excited. I've been planning a new project about color that I'm going to post on one of my other blogs. It currently houses some paintings and photos. I don't think I'll take those down, but I want to write short and spiritual nonfiction or prose poetry (and free verse) about each color, and in … Continue reading New Color Project?

Inlaws Are Here
My inlaws are here. Day 2. I haven't been at my best, or really been the best hostess. I'm antisocial, moody, and tired. I'm stressed out. Why can't I relax? Having C home for the week is nice. I wish it were time with him with just the immediate family. But I'm glad he's getting … Continue reading Inlaws Are Here
Personal Curriculum Plans
It is midway through June and I still don't have my summer curriculum set up, so the one I create might bleed into the fall. I've decided I want to study Spanish so that I can communicate in Spanish to L and to A. A has been taking Spanish lessons online. I'll probably use the … Continue reading Personal Curriculum Plans
Catholic Lay Creative Order
I really wish there was a lay order of Catholic creatives I could join. I'm researching Catholic literary societies and might join the one I found. Ideally, such a society would practice lectio divina daily. There would be weekly meetings to share or critique work. There would be some element of public service related to … Continue reading Catholic Lay Creative Order
Life Updates
A turned 12! We had a big party with the neighborhood kids. We got pizza, cake, and ice cream. She liked all her gifts! I learned how to collage in Procreate. Finally! I can add collage elements and papers to my paintings. That's actually what I'm doing to relax this afternoon. I'm clipping photos and … Continue reading Life Updates
Books Galore
Our kitchen stuff has arrived! We'll unpack this weekend. Happy 4th! Molly is settling in well. We hope to see the fireworks from our house. We'll see if that's possible. Yesterday I spent more than an hour on Kindle choosing book samples to download. I must have downloaded at least 30! Some samples I have … Continue reading Books Galore
Laundry Day
I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day
Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature
Evidently I am probably on too many medicines. I ended up in the ER last night because of double vision and tremors. They referred me to neurology, but they think it is my medicines. So now my doctor is pulling me off one of them. I have been reading A Jury of Her Peers. Fascinating … Continue reading Hospital, Book, Feminine Literature
The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic
40 year old women doing stupid dance routines. Book recommendations for books that have already been read by anyone even vaguely interested in them. Life coaches who live in their mom's basement promising you a life of success if you just listen to them (and pay handsomely). What do all these moronic things/people have in … Continue reading The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic
Designing My Own MFA
I am not going to grad school for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is money. (My disdain for leftist politics and an unwillingness to support a system of Marxist academics also play a role in me not attending. As does the fact I will make no money from such a course … Continue reading Designing My Own MFA
