Christmas Survey

Posted by: eliana on: December 20, 2008

Okay, so in the spirit of the season, I stole this little survey from Diana, who stole it from someone else, etc, etc. I haven’t done one o’ these little things in awhile and I though it’d be fun.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Well, Calvin and I have [...]

Word of the Day

Ladlezrim: the kitchen gadget that one places the ladle on when it is not in use.
So says Calvin, who brilliantly ended our Scrabble game with this gem.

Egg Colors

Posted by: eliana on: March 19, 2008

Recently we’ve started buying “Cage-Free” eggs at the grocery store. This had led me to notice that all the “organic” or “natural” or “cage-free” eggs are brown. There are also a good mix of brown eggs in with the standard eggs as well. This is new to me, as in both VA and NY, brown [...]

Book Quiz

Posted by: eliana on: March 14, 2008

Okay, so another one of those quizzes is circulating…this is kinda scarily right if you apply it to my conflict between my conservative upbringing and where I am now…

You’re The Giver!
by Lois Lowry
While you grew up with a sheltered childhood, you’re pretty sure everyone around you is even more sheltered. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, [...]

iTunes Game

Posted by: eliana on: February 2, 2008

I stole this from Dawn, someone I don’t know but for some reason I randomly read her blog…I thought it was kinda funny. For some reason I got a lot of the same artists in my shuffle…I do have a few others, promise!
Just hit shuffle on your iPod or iTunes and plug in the songs [...]

Hermiod the Ladybug

Posted by: eliana on: November 1, 2007

On Tuesday I temporarily acquired a pet ladybug. When I saw one climbing up the filing cabinet next to my desk, I promptly turned a small, clear, plastic storage device into a ladybug home complete with air holes, and captured it.
My new ladybug friend lived on the top of my filing cabinet for a day [...]

Groundhog Day

Posted by: eliana on: April 22, 2007

Today is the real Groundhog Day. Do you know why? Because today I saw a groundhog (two, in fact) for the first time this year! Yes that’s right, the groundhogs have come out of their snug little hibernating hidey-holes! I am so excited, because this means that spring has actually come at last to us [...]

The Freezer Aisle

Posted by: eliana on: January 25, 2007

Calvin and I frequently go grocery shopping together – most of the time, actually. It’s quite nice, because the time most people spend plucking various mundane items off of shelves and tossing them into their carts, we can have lovely conversations with each other. Well, Tuesday night, here we are, finishing up our grocery list [...]


"Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot." -- Qohelet
