So funny how you can kinda tell how old people are by their answers, eh? :)
I am not a fan of milk, so what I did was eat Fruity Pebbles and pour the tiniest amount of milk just to get them moist. Then partake. All while watching Smurfs. :)

Sweet mem'ry of youth Saturday morning cartoons Scooby--WHERE ARE YOU??? Your turn: What was your favorite cartoon growin' up? Are you old enough to remember when they were a Saturday morning treat? Did you sit in front of the TV eating a big ol' bowl of cereal? What was your favorite su...
Congrats lady! xoxo

Three, it's the magic number
There's a reason why: I've been so tired lately. You didn't see me at any BlogHer '10 parties. I haven't felt well enough to run until just a few days ago. I've been declining your lunch/dinner/tea invitations or leaving your parties early or not eating your delicious food or drinking your equa...

Oh to have older teens like her - wow. So special! And I've been meaning to comment on that post about the book - I must get one for myself!! So lovely.

A Mid-Summer night's...wonder
"Come on, Mom, we're going on a field trip." It was after 11:00 and I had just gotten up from bed to start the laundry load forgotten earlier, aggravated at myself but knowing she needed "that" shirt and "those" shorts by 7:00 a.m. Goodness-and-Everybody knows I wasn't getting up at five to ...
This just really rocked. Yes, and yes.

Does anyone else feel like BlogHer '10 has already happened?
I think it's because the "what am I going to wear"/"I need to lose 100 pounds by August" chatter started what feels like a decade ago, but if I close my eyes, I feel like I've already been to New York and back. I mean, my badge is right here on my desk. I'm still using the brown sponges I got in...
Hugs to you sweet girl. Keep searching for Truth, keep seeking Him. You're so loved.

Aridity of spirit
I walked out of church today. The Presbyterian pastor made a derogatory remark about Catholics and his sword of spiritual elitism sliced me open. Everyone else laughed but I bled all the way up the aisle, stumbled out into the sunny courtyard and blinked back tears. Most Sundays I feel far to...
Well, not that I ever want to follow an invaluable Voskamp comment (!!) but girl, this was beautiful. "...how to let go of a bike seat at just the right moment." made me teary.
Love you.

Happy Father's Day
He pushes them to take risks when I'm too afraid. He tells them how to use a socket wrench, shake a hand, work a compass, and paddle a canoe. He helps me be firm when I want to be too easy, and he helps me stay calm when I didn't know I could. He tells our girl that she's pretty and valuable...
Wow, what a couple. The trees, too. ;-)
That tree couple is just breathtaking, I LOVE reading about this.
I also love the way your mind works, how you describe your thoughts. You speak my language.
We just celebrated our 12th, I love that you "admitted" you are entwined with him and don't know where you stop and he begins. Yes, the one of two. Beautiful.

faithful couple
Three years ago we toured a valley of giant sequoia trees, some of which had been standing for hundreds of years. One tree was over 1500 years old. I felt a kind of reverential awe for the majesty of these towering trees standing in silent vigil through the march of centuries. But there was ...
I know, I forget too, Ann. I think the thing we forget is the prayer part is necessary for the recipe to result in molding.
Thank you for the welcome, dear one!

Loss and Resurrection
I lay and am quiet. I watch the clouds roll, the wind in the tall grass. Watching through the window I can almost hear the air, loudly pushing its way through the forest. Turning leaves over upending branches. We hear so much when we are quiet. This country living is happily conduci...
I'm so glad you write about these things so I can be lazy and just RT the heck out of it :) A long time ago I started forgetting I even had stats to check. It's so circa 2004 for me, when my blog first started and it was just for me. I just have more friends now. ;-)

Internalizing the Statistics: I Bet You Think This Song Is About You
Updated below, February 26 VelveteenMind.com welcomes an average of 250 visitors a day. I acknowledge I receive more than that when I publish a new post and particularly when I write something cause-related, but my schedule is my own so the average works out to 250. More than you thought? Less?...
When I saw your tweet first about NYC and then about owning a bookstore I knew immediately what you must've been watching..but then of course I got distracted by chocolate or something and then forgot to ask. :)
I love your posts even more now that I live in the South, because I feel and live these places now. Your hubs putting those lyrics in here just makes it all the more warm and *right*. I can't believe I wasn't raised here, because my dna is breathing a huge sigh of relief that I finally brought it home.

Happy Carnival, Mon Chéri
“Happy Carnival, Mon Chéri!” Spoken by a fat man in a dress to my baby boy. And I fell in love with Mardi Gras all over again. We lived on Webster Street near Clancy’s at Annunciation in Uptown New Orleans. We were within walking distance of quick lunches at Whole Foods and lazy strolls thro...
