7 Quick Takes Friday!

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

#7 I’m relieved that it’s Friday. I’m happy to get back to quick takes after the intensity of yesterday’s post and the combox discussion. I really appreciated the civil and downright pleasant conversation I had with Kaoru, but other people…not so much. I’m not much of a current events blogger, unlike The Anchoress, and enduring the combox beatings really took it out of me. Luckily one of my neighbors came over this morning for coffee and a meeting of our... Read more

Savita’s Death and Common Sense

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

I’m sure by now most have you have seen this story that’s going viral on the internet and being used by abortion advocates everywhere as one more reason to hate the evil Catholic Church. I wasn’t going to write on it after I saw the Anchoress’s excellent post on the subject, despite predictably snotty goading, but after thinking over what I would do if I were in Savita’s situation, I decided to write on it. To sum up, for... Read more

Just What I Need

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

Seriously, this is the hypochondriac’s dream. It beats WebMD by a million miles. Just what I need to maximize my paranoia. Try it out! Maybe I’ll be back with a real post if I can tear myself away from histrionic self-diagnosis. Read more

The Slow Burn

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

I got a few interested responses to yesterday’s post, so I’ve decided to continue random musings on the subject with fixed posts at the beginning and end of each month. I’m going to call the series The Slow Burn, because I like it. At the end of the month I’ll just re-cap how the month went and suggest new goals for the next month, and invite those who are joining me to leave their reflections from the month and make...

Slow and Steady

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

I skipped running yesterday. I have a slight cold, and usually my asthma flares up when I have a cold, and I didn’t want to deal with a flare-up so I didn’t run. I got back on the horse this morning, though, and went for a quick walk/jog after I walked Sienna to school. It occurred to me, for the billionth time, that I probably will lose some weight from running but not all of it because I never,... Read more

7 Quick Takes Friday!

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

#7 So I started running again this week. I ran every morning except yesterday, when I woke up feeling sick and figured that was enough of an excuse to sit around and watch TV all day. (I cleaned and baked bread in the afternoon out of sheer guilt, though.) I hate the postpartum return to running. It’s the most embarrassing and awkward thing ever. I mean, this is what I want to look like, and on good days this is... Read more

Of All Things Visible and Invisible

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 5:08 pm By Calah Alexander

I’m over at The Wine-Dark Sea today, musing about the line “of all things visible and invisible” in the Creed. It’s part of Melanie’s brilliant blogging through the Creed series for the Year of Faith. Click over there if you can, and read the rest of the posts she has up in this series while you’re there.

Today is election day. I feel a little nauseous about the whole thing, honestly, and am mostly trying to avoid political posts/news/facebook opinions. It isn’t that I’m not interested in who wins…on the contrary, I’m very much hoping for a certain outcome. It’s just that over the course of this election cycle I have found myself increasingly out of step with all things political. I’ve felt, for the first time, that not only do my political ideologies not align with... Read more

I’m so sorry for the radio silence. I have really good reasons for it. I’m going to list them in numerical form and call it Quick Takes. Clever, right? #7 We had house guests. My brother-in-law and his wife came for a visit with my two adorable nieces and we had a wonderful time. #6 Lincoln got baptized. That was the occasion for the visit, since they are Lincoln’s godparents. The whole day after he was baptized he was so... Read more
