i just made these and oh-dear-heaven-and-earth-and-everything-else-there-possibly-could-be — they seem divine. i won’t actually know since i made them for a bake sale my cousin is having tomorrow.
I KNOW — who bakes an unknown recipe for a bake sale?!
apparently i do. i like to live life on the wild side (you can laugh now).
i’ll make them [...]

kaesespaetzle
dear kaesespaetzle,
i’ve found you. i know we’ve been separated for almost three and a half years but we don’t have to be anymore. i’ve been given a very simple recipe to start with and now i will search for edam cheese. once found, we shall be able to be the best of friends again.
you’re my [...]
full of my sentimental feelings
in the middle this grey, cold, tired sort of monday, i pulled up a photo from our trip in september. we had decided to go to burlington and thrift. i was excited because i love thrift stores, burlington, and i was pretty convinced she’s one of the coolest things so why wouldn’t i want to [...]
a wandering sort of afternoon
i should be thinking about my busy sunday right now. if i was being responsible i would be putting together a song list and starting to consider what should be said at the sunday night young adult gathering. but sometimes, when there’s much to be taken care of, instead of being inspired, i find myself [...]
pass the vitamin C
after claiming such a strong immune system for so long (hey, all the bugs & strep that went through the family in the last few years somehow bypassed me — strong immune system), weeks ago i fell prey to the wretched flu that ravaged everything and everyone (and i’m slightly dramatic). for days i curled [...]
youthful enthusiasm
i have a childhood love that’s stayed true through all the years of change. allow me to indulge now and then with some classic (that’s a very important word) Pooh.
“By the time it came to the edge of the Forest, the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, [...]
thank you, Jesus
…for this warm day.
…for the chance to wear green & host a fun dinner (and for a mums who lets me use her house for said dinner).
…for an office that i enjoy coming to, bosses who encourage, and for giving me the best coworkers imaginable.
…for turning yesterday, one of my worst days ever, into one [...]
tomorrow i wake as a twenty-three year old girl.
there’s something so bittersweet about the passing of time and this year, i feel it acutely.
so goodnight, twenty-two year old self. you were a good year.
wilted
sometimes you just have to be honest. i scribble out on paper the very things my heart is saying, feeling, needing.
part of me despairs. part of me wonders if i’ll ever get it. part of me wonders if i’ll always live with failure as my identity. part of me wonders if i’ll always allow my [...]
a regular saturday in my world update
- i sat at my kitchen table in pajamas for… basically three hours this morning. coffee was enjoyed in a slow way that no other morning of the week allows, fruit was eaten, and much conversation was had. the talkative should-be-brother-and-oldest-friend-of-mine was around and sometimes we revert to our fifteen year old selves who could [...]
