The First Sunday in Advent
Today is the first Sunday of Advent, the season in the Christian calendar when Christians have traditionally prepared for the coming (Advent) of the Messiah. We’re in a bit of a pressure-cooker season, so I’m not sure how much preparation will get done. But even if my halls go completely undecked, we’ll set up our […]

The buying season
I woke up in the wee hours with a combination of jaw pain and sinus pain. Then I googled chronic jaw pain and scared myself to death with the phrase “jaw replacement.” So I bought some boots (af). I needed the boots, but it was still a rather impulsive bit of shopping therapy for me. […]

Working on the day of rest
I keep trying to pare down what I have to do on Sundays so that I can have an actual day of rest. I have most of a day of rest, but thus far, I haven’t figured out how to move the grocery shopping to a different day. The problem is my Saturdays are overloaded; […]

A really good day
I’m generally not a fan of “National X day” (except national donut/chocolate/or coffee day), but today is National Adoption Day, which is a fantastic use of an otherwise pointless habit. If you mark it in no other way, read this wonderful article by Joleigh Little. Joleigh once wrangled my young and foolish self as an […]

Fine Arts Friday: Thanksgiving Art
Despite the fact that Christmas trees and decorations are up all over North Texas, I continue to cling to the crazy idea that Thanksgiving should come and go before we deck the halls and falalalala.
