on the verge
Written on 31 July 2006 | Posted in me,site stuff | 8 Comments
Of August. Of turning thirty-one. Of becoming a university professor (har!). Of planting Black-Eyed Susans. Of being alternately hot and cold. Of obsessing over my sensible new shoes. Of entertaining friends. Of making Sweeping Changes.
I’ve updated things a bit around here (rss-readers, pop on over): a new banner, a refreshed palette, a new tagline. I feel like I am on the verge and on the verge is a good place to be. Good, good.
Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola to-day, patron saint of soldiers and reader of worldly fiction. I know this because I am an erstwhile student of hagiography and also because I found a widget for my Dashboard that spits out saints of the day right onto my desktop. How delightfully secular!
Sensible…but in a cool sort of way!!

Prof. Amanda! Very Cool. I like the look of the crocs, and have been toying with the idea of getting myself some. You’ll have to give us a performance report…

There is something so uplifting about this post, it’s so “glass is half full” and refreshing
Enjoy being on the verge…

I have to ask – where did you find this Saint’s Day widget, I can’t find it! When I turned 30 I created a 30 things to do when I am 30 list (although it took me a long time to think of 30 and now I am back to 29) – it is/was fun to try and accomplish things but I don’t think I can do it every year because the list will keep getting longer but the year length will stay the same!
