I normally really like dreaming. I’ve been having lucid dreams (mixed with non-lucid) for a long time; I was six or seven when I learned that if I opened my eyes REALLY widely in a dream, it triggered something that would wake me up and take me out of a particularly terrifying nightmare. [...]

Faith-wise, I’m a bit of a puzzle, what with being an ethnic Mennonite (my last name marks me indelibly as someone with Mennonite heritage)/preacher’s kid/missionary kid/agnostic/questioning person but I follow folks like Jim Wallis of Sojourners, etc. just because spirituality still speaks so strongly to me. He’s fasting at the moment, is Jim Wallis, [...]
So, I appear to be metamorphosing into some sort of brain-addled version of me. I’ve had a headache, you see, for over a week now. Closer to two weeks, really, except for a weekend in there when it disappeared and then came promptly back again on Monday. It ebbs when I take [...]

I don’t do book reviews, librarian-in-training or not. I love that there are people out there who can sum up their feelings on books so beautifully, without making it sound like a book report, but I don’t have it in me to put books (my friends, companions, and escapist activity) under the microscope the [...]

I’m heading back to see my therapist next Saturday; I have a mosaic workshop this Saturday and her calendar was booked anyway, so it was all good. So to speak.
Last night I headed to the chiropractor because my lower back has been killing me and, as she announced to me when I came in, [...]

I have to admit it…I scroll past most of the fatshion posts on the Notes feed. I mostly…don’t care. Most of the places highlighted don’t sell things in my size. As a 28/30/4X, it’s hard to find even online stores for my size and most of the ones that do sell that [...]

My oldest friend (the one I’ve known the longest, not the oldest friend I have!) TeacherMommy is getting married. In August. She’s asked me to be a bridesmaid, which on the one hand is very exciting…but on the other hand is a bit terrifying thanks to the ordeal of dress shopping at a [...]

May be triggering for some regarding, well, the self-hate spiral!

This is how it begins.
A fight on the bus with my husband during our morning commute. Something stupid, that maybe hints at a bigger issue in our relationship that we should probably talk over, but which certainly cannot be fixed in five minutes as we [...]

God bless Michelle, of The Fat Nutritionist for a wonderful post, which I missed when it was first posted a couple of days ago, that put me in a far better mood, especially after a lunch of mustard-breadcrumb chicken and rice leftovers. Yum!
Part of my blues in my last post were, I suspect, PMS-related. [...]

There’s been a chain of infrequent, unhappy posts on my blog, I’m realizing – I wish I could say this post would be magically different, that I have suddenly become one of those HILARIOUS bloggers who manages to turn even discouragement and despair into Happy!Fun!Times! but I’m just not.
I’ve been sick for over a week [...]
