Twins! Our church secretary, Ruth, and I wore almost the same outfit to church today, complete with brown pants. She laughed and said, "What are we wearing next week?"

Another Sycamore centerpiece. From our contemplation class.

March 24, 2011

Mozzarella Caprese. Sort of. :)

March 22, 2011

Just playing with my flower setting. First blooms of the season in my yard.

March 21, 2011

It's log. I see a face, as per usual.

March 19, 2011

Tried to capture a shot of "Super Moon." My hands are not steady enough for night shots with this little camera, obv.

March 17, 2011

Not a lot of partying on this particular St Paddy's Day, but I did dress up for the day anyway.

March 13, 2011

Started a new series at church called "Taking Flight." We each got a piece of paper and instructions on how to fold it into an origami bird. I told my pastor that was one clever way to give his whole congregation the bird...

March 12, 2011

Started saving things today for a collage. Excited to see what comes out of the project.

March 11, 2011

"No" accumulation? Right. This weather forecast brought to you by the letters "S" and "W."

March 10, 2011

Major bird fight at the feeder today. Does snow make birds hungry or something? This is one of the culprits, still haven't been able to get a great bird photo yet.

March 3, 2011

Tiffany brought Gracie to our group this morning. First time for us to meet her in person, but we have been praying for her for such a very long time.

March 2, 2011

Wore a jacket today instead of a coat. That's a big step for me.

March 1, 2011

Hair today--the talented and wonderful Caitie took this picture of her handiwork. She really wants spring to be here so she lightened my hair in anticipation.

February 28, 2011

I spent a lot of time at my desk today. This is a bag that hangs nearby. (It's my library bag, currently empty.)

February 27, 2011

Today's tools.

February 26, 2011

Starfruit. 'Cause Robbie likes them.

February 25, 2011

Annual Theology Dinner at Xavier University tonight. So good to see some of my favorite people. This is the beautiful Julie going for her camera--she also took pictures there tonight. I like the Bruce Springsteen slide in the background (our presentation for tonight was about Bruce as poet/prophet--who says theologians don't know how to party?).

February 24, 2011

Celebrating a birthday in our study group today. At the Mellow Mushroom for some awesome veggie pizza. Happy 29th birthday to Rachel!

February 23, 2011

Bible study today at NKY. View from our table.

February 22, 2011

This guy hangs beside my elliptical, giving me daily encouragement to keep working out. He also is quite the confidant, I've found. Perhaps he should be charging me for therapy. And when I finish my workout, he encourages me with a dry five. Thanks, Menty!

February 21, 2011

Trip to Louisville to see our mentors, dinner with a team from Compassion. Called for the blue jewelry, I thought.

February 20, 2011

This morning we had hail coming down for more than 30 minutes. Caught a little bit of it on our windshield.

February 19, 2011

Playing catch up on my Sudoku calendar.

February 18, 2011

Tried to get a shot of the full moon last night, but I can't quite get the camera settings right. So...leaves at night.

February 17, 2011

On Xavier's campus today. Not sure how much longer this old sign will be around, so I took a picture for the record.

February 16, 2011

Today Maggie and I talked about Galatians. Freedom, baby.

February 15, 2011

Temptation in the form of leftover donuts! Robbie has a hard time throwing them away. I'm calling them "boomerang donuts" because they are going right back to work tomorrow. We still have brownie!!

February 14, 2011

I know Valentine's Day is a commercial holiday, but I am still really grateful to be in a relationship with Robbie. He is mi corazon.

February 13, 2011

Healing writing group again tonight. Yes, I bring my baggage...

February 12, 2011

Vacuumed today. I thought my vacuum's power buttons looked like owl eyes. I apparently see owls everywhere!

February 11, 2011

Last day to wear our heaviest coats? We hope so!

February 10, 2011

Working with my macro. Blueberries look a little tired, but then so am I.

February 9, 2011

Signed up for my surfing trip in November! Stoked, yo!

February 8, 2011

Dentist day. I actually like going to my dentist. I'll take positive feedback almost anywhere I can get it these days...

February 7, 2011

For some reason I liked all the patterns in this pick, especially the stripes. Every day is actually laundry day around here, though...

February 6, 2011

Broke out a new journal for texts, tweets and notes last week, and Sunday was the first sermon in the book. Pastor John had us draw our favorite meal during the sermon. Mine was mac and cheese...too bad Jesus didn't have that option for Communion, eh?

February 5, 2011

Great day at our Contemplation class. Love seeing our group every month. This was the center of our sacred circle today.

February 4, 2011

Amazing dinner tonight. This is a shot of the braised lima beans. Not in photo: roasted potatoes, turnips & carrots, and BBQ "roast" (vegetarian protein). So good!

February 3, 2011

Long table, long day.

February 2, 2011

These hands worship with us every Wednesday and Sunday, signing while we sing.

February 1, 2011

Rainy day. Tried to catch the rain on the window today.

January 31, 2011

Whew. It was a three cup day.

January 30, 2011

Today marks the end of one busy week and the beginning of another. Just glad I have a nice warm bed to crawl into tonight, thanks to my wonderful hubby. He got me a heated mattress pad, and "PH" stands for preheat. Goodnight, all!

January 29, 2011

On the way home from my parents' house this afternoon, we found what we have affectionately dubbed "Beaver City." I tramped through a muddy field, but still couldn't get close enough to get a cool shot. And we couldn't get far enough away to get a good wide shot, either. But it was a really amazing find--at least one dam, at least one lodge, beaver footprints in the snow, and several freshly felled trees (including the one in this photo).

January 28, 2011

Celebrating my Dad's birthday today. (It's a snow thrower from the whole fam, btw.) Happy birthday, Dad!

January 27, 2011

Just got back from "Burn the Floor." Hot. That is all.

January 26, 2011

Busy day, finished with worship team practice at church.

January 25, 2011

My new hair. Thanks to Caitie.

January 24, 2011

Volunteered my time today. Almost eight hours of data entry. Symbolized by jewelry and ibuprofen. I brought it today. It got brought.
