I think Sara’s really onto something with this phrase and logo. As for me, I am living extraordinaire right now, heading off to a weekend with the Exponent girlz. So much to do to prepare, so little time to pull it all together. But at least I am living. Yes. Living, breathing, working, playing catchup [...]
–one more hurdle crossed, my first-ever baseline mammogram. Whew. Like when the tech said I had to hold my breath while she took the film, I wanted to say (had I had breath to do so), how could I not hold my breath when she has just squished me into this vise? But really it [...]
a perfect little gift, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. If it was your birthday, and if you found this sweet little package waiting for you this morning, you might be especially thrilled to offer your beloved some vanilla-lavendery kisses. My lips could get very spoiled by all of this…. :)
all the pretty jacaranda, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Snapped this pic as I was driving down the street this afternoon. I just couldn’t help myself. Fortunately there was no one behind me so we didn’t end up getting rear-ended…. :)

[Note: this picture has nothing at all to do with this post--I just wanted to share it with you because it shows both CatGirl's loveliness and John's skill with his camera. It just sort of takes my breath away to see such beauty....] Allright, so today I [...]
Just finished reading Amy Irvine’s memoir, Trespass. It’s a well-wrought story of a Jack-Mormon woman’s relationship to the land, in the style of Terry Tempest Williams. One of the threads in the story is about her relationship with Herb, a SUWA lawyer that she dubs the “lion man.” Late in the book she shifts his [...]

Today, coming home from Meeting, we drove through several streets in Old Santa Ana like the one above–lined with Jacaranda trees. It was snowing neon purple blossoms. If I’d been feeling a bit better, I would have danced in the falling flowers. pic by John
