Upon the advice of Gloria, I decided to braid my hair. EIGHT hours of pain later, I had long extensions. It was fun! Sitting still, watching the same Baganda music video and weird Mexican soaps over and over… really. Seriously though, it was actually fun. My brother Roland said “Now you look like a real [...]

Rally Driver.
Gloria and I just returned from a two week road trip in the Western part of Uganda. If you know me, you know I love road trips… I love riding in the car and driving; except when I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my sweet Maggie car. We faced a view challenges [...]

This is the “Aquinas Sampler” I happened to have in my purse during my five day trek to ‘Teranna’ in May 2006. I wrote down funny quotes all weekend on [...]

Pajamas at Pilgrim Manor.
This morning I got up for work, and really wanted to wear this dress. It’s all a part of one of my life goals, which is to wear everything in my closet. Problem: too short for a business office, even though we’re pretty casual. (Not quite Word Made Flesh casual) Solution: wear slacks underneath. Problem: [...]

Tattling on YOU.

Stuff.
When I went to Nepal in 2005, I bought a lot of stuff. Crazy amounts of stuff. Jeez! Serving the poor sure was expensive back in those days.
This time my mom asked me, “what do you need for your trip overseas” and my list was five items. I mean, I might think of more… but [...]

Two Stubborn People Look at Nature
The following is a transcript of an actual conversation:
Calvin and I looking at the view from his Mom’s backyard:
Me: What’s on that hill over there? Looks like some buildings?
C: I think it’s trees.
Me: No, I’m pretty sure it’s buildings.
C: Nope, it’s definitely trees.
Me: I know it’s a group of buildings.
C: Yeah, it’s trees.
Me: Nope, buildings.
C: [...]

Strengths/Finder.
One of the great mysteries of the Universe… where did my gray hair come from? (I know, you’re thinking ‘move on liz, we’re tired of hearing about that stupid gray hair.’ 
Well, I figured it out:
Ideas.
Too many ideas.
I took the StrengthsFinder… mine were:
> Connectedness
> Input
> Futuristic
> Ideation
> Responsibility
So, for those of us who aren’t StrengthsFinderChampions [...]
