Spirituality as continually redesigned by Lizzie and Jane
Lizzie and Jane’s brewing stew of back and forth trouble that hasn’t yet been loosed upon the world…
Because there’s nothing you can’t put on a list
Everything else Lizzie and Jane are thinking about…
Here is why I am laughing today. Not sure if I feel old, or just wiser and smarter. (or is that, wiser and snarkier?) I had a most amusing encounter with the kid bagging my …
LIZZIE Dear Brooke, I first “met” you when we were both 12 years old. I was sitting in my orthodontist’s office, getting ready for the next wire-tightening that would rein in the ambitious, odd-angled …
While we are posting fun videos… This is one of my all time favorite YouTube videos. How could you not be happy, bouncy and full of smiles, listening to and watching this? …
then you’ll enjoy the stylized, exuberant (and ever so slightly edgy) illustrations of Mike Baker. Mike is helping Jane and me to do something fun (and of course Pandora-ish) with our comment gravatars. I (Lizzie) …
JANE Here’s the thing about Lizzie’s and my criticizing things on Facebook that are just plain wrong: Lizzie is far more discerning and intelligently, constructively critical about Facebook activity (and probably Facebook in general, sigh). …
Yesterday, my youngest sister–the "christener of Snow Cat," to whom I referred in my last post as "Gina,"–exchanged blog links with me. Clearly, we were both in happy writing mode as the snowflakes fluttered down …

And here’s to you, Bishop Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know. …
Jane: I don’t know about you, Lizzie, but I have become a political news junkie. The Internet has created a surge in creatures like myself, the blog-obsessed who can’t go half a day without logging …
What I learned from Holden Caulfield, whom I got to know in Mrs. Levinson’s 11th-grade English class (where Jane sat a few seats behind me, by the way)…. As a reader: An honest-to-goodness …
I had to reread the text message several times before I realized that the 10K request from my college daughter was NOT a plea for lavish senior-year funding.
OMG, she wants me to RUN a 10K. She actually thinks I’ve got 10 kilometers of “just do it” in me. Which soon gave way to… Awwwwwww. What a nice compliment from my super-fit 21-year-old daughter.
I myself keep clinging to the Staples commercial of the mom giddy with glee, throwing back to school items into her cart, sullen children lagging behind. Cue the classic Christmas tune, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…”
