Pink Streaks: Waiting
http://pinkstreaks50.blogspot.com/2012/12/waiting.html
Musings about motherhood, midlife, and more. Sunday, December 9, 2012. I've been thinking a lot about waiting recently. A coworker is expecting her first child any day now, and I've been checking my email, eagerly awaiting news. A few years ago, I resolved to try to do all my Christmas shopping before Advent, in that often short space between Thanksgiving (before which I have a hard time thinking about Christmas) and the first Sunday of Advent. This year, the calendar obliged me by stretching that us...

Musings about motherhood, midlife, and more. Sunday, February 2, 2014. Rapunzel is applying to colleges, where she wants to study architecture. Unlike most other majors, you have to be accepted not only to a college or university, but also to the architecture program. That requires a portfolio of work. So for those who have asked and are not on Facebook, here is Rapunzel's portfolio. A portrait of Gramma. A somewhat abstract self portrait,. Taken in one of the glass doors at school. Message from a Homele...

Pink Streaks: College recruitment letters
http://pinkstreaks50.blogspot.com/2013/02/college-recruitment-letters.html
Musings about motherhood, midlife, and more. Sunday, February 10, 2013. An amazing thing happens when your kid takes the PSAT: they start getting mail from colleges. A really LARGE amount of mail from colleges. I don't know whether there's a correlation between your PSAT scores and the number of college recruitment letters a week, since I have only one data point living in my house. Rapunzel did decently but not "OMG, she scored how high? But not, alas, an architecture program). I think the other was...

Pink Streaks: June 2012
http://pinkstreaks50.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Musings about motherhood, midlife, and more. Friday, June 29, 2012. Enjoying the empty nest (temporarily). I think I've mentioned that the girls were in Baltimore this week on a youth group mission trip. And I, meanwhile, have been enjoying the heck out of my weeklong visit to the empty nest! Because, confession time: I don't miss mine terribly when they're away for a week. About the time I start to miss them, they come home. So, I've enjoyed the temporary empty nest, and look forward to having some of t...

Laura e. Crook. Writer by day, batgirl wannabe by night. The Accidental Anglican — How an Evangelical Girl Discovered Liturgy & Never Turned Back. Posted by Laura Crook. Asymp; 1 Comment. I was raised Evangelical. If you want to get specific about it, I was raised Baptist. My family likes to joke that I was baptized twice–once when my mother was baptized as an adult (8 months pregnant with me), and again when I was 15. The problem was I had a hard time finding a church in Chicago where I felt comfortable.

http://pinkstreaks50.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Musings about motherhood, midlife, and more. Monday, August 27, 2012. Things I wish someone had told me before we went to Europe. So, we're back, and we had a fabulous time, and very smooth travels. I'm sure I'll be posting more about it as I process the experience. But what's bumping around my brain right now is things I wish I had known before we went. In no particular order:. 1 Always buy train tickets from a human. 2 Italian waiters will never, EVER bring you the check until you ask. They have it in ...

Here’s the thing–I enjoyed Maze Runner. I like Dylan O’Brien. Like, a LOT). It’s a well-put-together movie, lots of action,. Suspense (as my friend Hannah can attest to, I was literally on the edge of my seat for large parts of the movie). It’s making a decent amount in the box office. I mean yeah, so is Hunger Games, ...
