7 Quick Takes, Living Vicariously Edition
1. I am totally excited because my Dad will be traveling to Australia next month for a couple weeks for his work. He’s mainly been working State-side; but he’s really excited (in that stoic retired Air Force guy way) to go. He’s never been there, which makes it even better. He flies into Sidney, then [...]
Advent ideas!
If anyone is looking for some more Advent ideas, the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist has a resource available. It’s from their publication entitled Remain In Me, which is part of their apostolate of teaching. The Advent pages are free for download in the red box on the right side. Remain In [...]
Grace in the Darkness
Chris over at Living Gracefully has been writing about grace, specifically about God’s grace being sufficient for us. Obviously, it is for us in the sense of the more we humble ourselves and try to be closer to God (especially through our underemployment trials), the more God’s grace we are open to receiving. I’ve been [...]
Update on GregJob 2009
It’s going to get crazy here, so let me start with a recap. IT Job #1: I first mentioned it back in October. This position was kind of half and half IT, but would pay the bills and could potentially be a telework (aka, work from home) position. He interviewed, and if he were to [...]

Anyone need any Archbishop Sheen talks?
Thanks to the fine folks over at Sonitus Sanctus, I present to you a giant repository of Archbishop Sheen talks: Fulton Sheen MP3 Audio Library. I’ll be busy for quite a while. Learn more about Archbishop Sheen here.
Our Advent Traditions
Advent is coming … November 29th, to be exact. I’ve been spending the last week or so researching various Advent traditions, discussing with Greg childhood traditions, and figuring out what we want to do this Advent and Christmas. Last year’s Advent was well and good, albeit chaotic with Elise’s Baptism 4 days before Christmas and [...]
A prayer request and announcement
1) Greg is currently in his job interview for the second IT job (the one he had to test for that he passed with flying colors). The interview is expected to be 90 minutes long, by far one of the longest interviews he’s had. We’d appreciate it if you could spare some prayers for a [...]
7 Quick Takes, Pain Edition
1. I’m almost convinced that a 2nd degree burn hurts more than labor. ALMOST. Tuesday I managed to collide my arm with a hot out of the oven cookie sheet, resulting in a classy, inch-long 2nd degree burn. Blisters and all. I’m thinking the sucker will be scarring, regardless of what I do. Ouch. I [...]
The darkness returns
Yesterday was a particularly trying day. Maybe it’s a shift in hormones or just tired of general wank/the physical discomforts of carrying another life inside me/stress of Greg’s job interview coming up; but I was particularly mean all day long. I don’t think being mean can ever really be justifiable, but there were some situations [...]
