Sorry About the Raunchy Sidebar Ad -Updated

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 10:51 am By Calah Alexander

I know there’s some nasty stripperella ad happening in the sidebar on the Patheos blogs, so please, if you see it, take a screen shot and email it to me! The blog wizards can’t get rid of it if they can’t see it, so I have to email them the screen shots to get it removed. In Windows, just hit the print screen button (prt scn or prt sc), past the image into an image editing program, save it, attach... Read more

Camille Paglia FTW

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 10:54 am By Calah Alexander

I’ve never read much by or about Camille Paglia before. But then I read this interview in the Wall Street Journal, and my head totally exploded. But no subject gets her going more than when I ask if she really sees a connection between society’s attempts to paper over the biological distinction between men and women and the collapse of Western civilization. She starts by pointing to the diminished status of military service. “The entire elite class now, in finance,... Read more

A Folly Jolly Christmas

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 10:56 am By Calah Alexander

In Praise of Folly, Erasmus wrote, “No society, no union in life could be either pleasant or lasting without me.” Me of course refers to Folly herself. We took him at his word. Oh yeah. We got our kids a puppy for Christmas. She’s completely adorable, and almost everyone loves her. Me, I’ve spent the last few days cleaning up dog poop and pee while furiously googling “how to house-train a puppy” Weirdly, I’m not even a little bit upset... Read more

Holy Innocence

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 10:57 am By Calah Alexander

I wrote this post last year, on the Feast of the Holy Innocents. It remains one of my favorite posts. I can’t say I’ve made any colossal strides in finding a balance, but I often go back and read this post to remind myself why I must keep trying. Yesterday was the Feast of the Holy Innocents. I did remember that, for the first time ever in my post-conversion life, and when the kids got up I played them “Coventry... Read more

The Gift of Belly-Button Lint

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 11:00 am By Calah Alexander

My parents came for a long-awaited visit two weeks ago. It seemed so luxuriously long…five whole days…and the timing was perfect, coinciding with swim meets and birthdays and pre-Christmas shopping. They would have plenty of time with the kids and I’d get days of much-needed morning coffee time with my mom. But our car blew a gasket and died the death that, at 240,000 miles, was long overdue. We’d been trying to save for a new used car, but the... Read more

Sexism Sells Shampoo

Quentin Tarantino Strikes Again

Last updated on: June 9, 2015 at 1:44 pm By Calah Alexander

Sorry for being the lamest blogger on the block. December is the worst, a whirlwind of birthday and Christmas and parents visiting and this year, our car blowing up.* But last night Charlotte was again possessed by the spirit of Quentin Tarantino, so I thought I should share it with you. OH, but first, here’s a picture from the girls’ impromptu birthday bash-n-burn. The Minions Tell More Jokes Sienna: “Why does the cheetah always get caught?” Me: “I don’t know,... Read more

On First Looking at Her Birthday Cake

Viva il Papa!

Well, I’ve had an extra kid home from school all week so far, which has left less than zero time for blogging. Thank the Lord my mom is coming to visit tonight! Just wanted to pop in and make sure you guys had seen this. Viva il Papa! The skeptics will point to the obstacles Francis faces in accomplishing much of anything beyond making casual believers feel better about the softer tone coming out of Rome while feeling free to...
