Go here for Andrew’s story of what happens when a deer hits a car… Took two finals in the last 24 hours, I’m so tired! One more tomorrow, and I’m DONE. whee! Summer can’t come soon enough (although the weather…
Year: 2005
Sholeh + Neda + Dubious Estate Sale = Hilarity. We had way too much fun. I really couldn’t even figure out what some of these knicknacks were! There was a random head sitting on a table…and it thoroughly freaked out…
For the next week, I am consumed by the Baha’i National Convention and Finals. I’m done next Wednesday at 5 pm, hurrah! But for serious, I have 10 pages to type tonight, so I’m going to get on that now….
(click to make them bigger…) The new fountain at the House of Worship… Blue, oh so blue…
Happy First Day of Ridvan! I got to vote for a Local Spiritual Assembly for the first time this year, it was very exciting. 🙂 I sit here, struggling to write my paper for Sociology…I have part of it done….
It is perfect. There is that breeze with the mixed up smells of spring, car exhaust, and humidity. The back door is propped open and we’ve put the deck furniture back out (what little we have!). It took me 10…
Even I fall slowly down when I hear words from the other half of me. This is true, I know and yet somehow you and me are not you and me. It is not for now, it may never be….
Me: “Ramez…you do realize that we’re really big nerds? We’re sitting in the computer lab, when each of us has computers at home.” Ramez: “Ah, that’s true, but we don’t have the luxury at home of sitting in chairs with…
*The world moved too fast for me today. I was scrambling to keep up, even with 6 eggs (3 for breakfast, 3 for dinner) I have a protein craving, perhaps. (get it?) *I missed the stop on the train again,…
I rode the train today, red line to roosevelt bus. I missed the Roosevelt stop, and ended up in Chinatown. Too immersed in my book, I did not mind the delay. I come home to discover a gift of chewy…
This is for you, running through this wild maze. I’ve seen you struggle to overcome these walls, these endless green heights surrounding our thoughts. You’re beautiful, loves, every last one of you.
I like Chicago. I firmly believe it is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Chicago Public Library
This is has been my view every day for the last four years. Today was beautiful. I took this while holding textbooks in one hand and a purse in the other, while wearing 3 inch heels. I’ve got mad skillz….
Zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and onions, fried in some canola oil with salt, pepper, garlic. Simple, fast, healthy, yum. Serve over rice or as a side dish. The weather was so beyootiful today!! I was ecstatic, and celebrated by purchasing some…
Have you ever been walking down the street in your business slacks and heels with a snazzy purse on your shoulder makeup done perfectly, not a hair out of place striding down the sidewalk with an emphatic click on each…
I don’t normally like to rhyme so much, but this poem just wanted to be written, I had no control over it. 😉 I see one taking up the burden and this one holding down the fort one reaching out…
It is the Baha’i New Year, Naw-Ruz. It is also the Persian New Year. When I went home last night I was greeted with a haft-sin table, which included a lot of very cute goldfish swimming merrily in a bowl….
I wonder where my friends are. I wonder why people read, but don’t leave a comment saying hi. I know you’re out there, blog-lurkers. Silent readers who visit the page and whisk themselves away before writing me a little message….
Never shall I abandon this intoxicating bliss Since you conquered my heart before I ever existed. -Sa’di The ink on this page bleeds through spreads to make artistic patterns on an otherwise pristine desk I look in dismay at the…
Sometimes this is about me, and sometimes it is about things I see. Sometimes the things I see pertain to me. The 114 pounds of this slender frame can’t hold you all up indefinitely. The standards that were set have…
I may actually be allergic to theological discussions. Hear me out. I was at our Baha’i Youth Desk meeting here at my house when some people started on a tangent about something. I don’t really know what they were saying,…
I feel a certain reticence in my speech right now. Last night Lindsey asked if I wanted gum…and I didn’t, because I didn’t have the energy to move my jaw. hmm. The beautiful sun and warmth of yesterday was replaced…
If you don’t know Sarah L, orignally from in Minnesota but now residing on the East Coast, you totally wish you did. I will even give you examples: Sarah: ugh, i am sick of england Me: ?? Sarah: this is…
There was a man on the bus who talked on his cell phone to an unseen face explaining how to cook pork chops (just salt, that is what I use. Or squeeze lemon!) He talked about not having taken a…
I don’t like spaces. Between sentences they’re ok. But not between people. ————————— Happy Ayyam-i-Ha, everyone…party tonight was off the hook. 🙂
At the clinic today I went to the staff lounge to get some tea (my eyes were trying to close, and I had no toothpicks available to prop them open). Usually the lounge is quiet and empty…but I happened to…
this hurts. i am not accustomed to making you miserable. or you. and you… well, you and i do not yet know how this will be resolved since resolution requires communication and this, while it constitutes words and sounds, is…
These are the colors we chose for our dining room wall “mural”. It is all done now, but you’ll have to come over to our house to see the finished product. 😀 (Actually, I haven’t gotten around to taking a…
Wierd Diagnoses: Flap Wound: yes, this is what it sounds like. This particular person had it on their finger. ouch! Flat Feet: I am sorry to anyone who has flat feet, but every time I type this in I think…
i don’t know what to blog about my muse fell off a cliff and bounced on the sharp rocks below (making cornbread from my own recipe and baking chocolate cupcakes. you know you’re jealous) Chance of flurries tonight. Whenever I…
