- the omaha half-marathon is in 10 days. TEN DAYS. yikes. i'm getting nervous.
-visiting houston for labor day = so excellent. i even went bike riding for the first time in some 15 years. and I only almost fell off the bike a handful of times.
-we have a rural community garden that spoils us in the office with almost weekly boxes of tomatoes and eggplants. it is one of the best perks of working with community gardens ever.
-bought lumber for building raised beds this week. can't say I've ever done that before.
-have had some really good and encouraging conversations about my experiences with New Day and new monasticism lately.
-the beginning classes of doula training are continuing and I'm learning so much. i love being in class again even if it's only one day a week. i'm also getting excited for the three-day intensive in october.
-have recently been watching Mad Men (season 1) and Bones (on season 3). the two have pretty much nothing in common but so it is.
-i am head-over-heels in love with the weather cooling off and it starting to feel like fall. plus we've had some awesome thunderstorms.
-been reading Radical Hospitality and In the Sanctuary of Women. Both are ah-mazing. Been listening to a free Itunes podcast called the Nerdist Writers Panel. Each week they host a round-table discussion with a different bunch of TV screenwriters and it's fascinating to hear them talk about how they write scripts, create characters and shape television series.
-experienced/watched my first Nebraska Cornhuskers football game. i need to buy a red shirt if i am going to make it through this season.
-i still miss mongolia. i would still like to eat a huge bowel of tsuivan.
-getting excited to start cooking lots of cold weather soups and chili and potatoes all the while continuing to eat hummus by the gallon.
-trying to commit to writing more reflective, informative blog posts in a timely manner.
we'll see how that goes.
