Archive for July, 2006

Yes, I’m mixing metaphors in this post. It’s working for me though, so you’re just going to have to live with it.
Sometime between turning out my light last night and getting up this morning a phrase started percolating in my brain. I’m not sure where it came from, but it got stuck [...]

Voice of Truth (Raquel)

 I cried when I heard this song. It’s almost a perfect fit for my life right now… except it feels more like I already got dragged over the side of the boat and I’m desperately trying to just keep my head above water, so of course I’m failing at everything else I should be doing.
 I [...]

Last night we hid from the heat and humidity in the blessedly air conditioned Lansberry dining room. We ate a meat and rice dish that I am pretty sure is called Meat and Rice Dish, applesauce and some of the best cooked carrots I have ever eaten. I never used to like cooked carrots, but [...]

A Vase of Duct Tape (Raquel)

 I’ve been looking for something blogworthy for a couple of weeks now. I’ve had a lot of life going on, but most of it was not worth posting for various reasons. Life is feeling calmer this week.

The Things We Take For Granted (Gabrielle)

I find it amazing what people take for granted. And, mind, I’m not talking about things like food, warmth, shelter. I’m talking about things like standing. This morning I woke up, rolled over several times and then stood up. This was not a big deal, there was no fanfare, no cheers. If I had asked [...]

Tales From the Trip (Gabrielle)

Well, I actually survived our trip. For a moment there I wasn’t sure I was going to. And that was when we had only been driving for about two hours on the way to Erie. There is far too much that went on this past week for me to write a blow-by-blow account, but as [...]

Another Squidoo Lens (Raquel)

 I put together another Squidoo Lens, this time on Patternless Sewing.
 When I was twelve, a thirteen year old friend started teaching me to sew. We didn’t get very far because life got in the way, but we did make a nightgown in a way that very much appealed to me. She cut a rectangle [...]
