Arts & Crafts time is Serious Business!

By Karen On October 13, 2012 · 4 Comments · In Learn, Work

In addition to hours spent hurling job applications into the abyss, I’ve been guiltily and seldom dedicating bits of time here and there to art projects. If I replaced that guilt with intent, I’d have a broad and improved portfolio by now. So I’ve decided to do this on purpose. In the worst case, I’ll [...]

I think they have teeny tiny guns

By Karen On May 25, 2012 · 5 Comments · In Live

Friends,

I am sorry to report to you the sad state of affairs in my apartment. The spiders have made significant advances.

To an ignorant eye, it may seem like two, independent spiders each decided to make their homes in my shower. But, think about it: such an inhospitable environment? On the same [...]

On not shooting myself in the foot

By Karen On April 6, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Learn, Opine

Last Sunday, I drove out to Escondido and learned to shoot handguns! CCWUSA’s William Desy generously gave me the class and gun rental, so I thought I’d share my  experience with you all : )

The class I attended was the beginning class, which was appropriate. I’ve shot .22 rifles a few times, [...]

Hooked on Podcasts!

By Karen On March 26, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Live

I was at a party on Friday, and I was surprised when someone, whom I’d known for all of a half an hour, asked, “you really like public radio, don’t you?”

I had to laugh. What had I said to give myself away? Fortunately, he thought it was great. But what [...]

Lonely or Independent? Why I chose to live alone.

By Karen On March 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Learn, Live

Posts about staying friends with exes and marriage have been really popular on this blog! They also address one of the stated goals of this blog, which is to add to the conversation about living as a single Christian woman. In the spirit of that, then, and in contrast to my ranty blogs that can [...]

Modeling misguided marriage motives

By Karen On March 6, 2012 · 5 Comments · In Live, Opine

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been exploring what marriage means to me for a guest post at Faith Permeating Life, one of my favorite blogs. It’s been such a great exercise, and I highly recommend asking yourself what marriage means to you.

What I found is that I have lots of good [...]

Sad Mini is Sad :(

By Karen On January 26, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Live

I was rear ended on the freeway this morning, which was terrifying and inconvenient. Everyone is OK, and it was one of the most pleasant mornings I’ve had in a long time.

I was driving along in the left lane this morning, on my way to work, when, suddenly, traffic came to a halt. One by [...]
