Bourbon and the BVM: A Visit to Jesus
http://bourbonandbvm.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-visit-to-jesus.html
Bourbon and the BVM. Muddling my way through motherhood on a drink and a prayer. Monday, April 7, 2014. A Visit to Jesus. Yesterday on our way home from a birthday party, RM asked to make a visit to the chapel at our neighborhood church. We entered, and she very sweetly (if a bit noisily/exuberantly) went and gave kisses to the statues of Mary and St. Joseph. Then, kneeling before the Tabernacle, the following exchange was had:. Me: Would you like to say a prayer together? Me: Ok, go ahead. Like Mother, ...

Bourbon and the BVM: Rabbit-Snail Monkey Jousting
http://bourbonandbvm.blogspot.com/2013/10/rabbit-snail-monkey-jousting.html
Bourbon and the BVM. Muddling my way through motherhood on a drink and a prayer. Saturday, October 19, 2013. I came across this post. About snails in medieval marginalia on Facebook, and it might be my favorite thing on the whole internet. I defy you to think of anything funnier than the above picture. It's a rabbit. Jousting a snail. On monkeys. And the snail's monkey is on stilts. Amazing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wife to a litigator. Momma to three sweet girls. View my complete profile.

Bourbon and the BVM: Tutu Pig
http://bourbonandbvm.blogspot.com/2013/12/tutu-pig.html
Bourbon and the BVM. Muddling my way through motherhood on a drink and a prayer. Sunday, December 1, 2013. Tonight at dinner we were introduced to Rita Mae's first imaginary friend. "Tutu Pig" is a pig who wears a tutu (you don't say), because she is a ballerina, much like RM's favorite scene in Olivia. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wife to a litigator.

Bourbon and the BVM: Monuments to Selfishness?
http://bourbonandbvm.blogspot.com/2013/11/monuments-to-selfishness.html
Bourbon and the BVM. Muddling my way through motherhood on a drink and a prayer. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Teacher of mine tweeted a link to this article. Which I found quite provocative (unsurprising, as this teacher's specialty has always been goading his students toward meaningful thought). The author and I are coming from such different mindsets that we can hardly have a conversation, but I'm going to respond anyway. The Church says otherwise. Certainly, all is. In God's hands, but prayer has real...

Bourbon and the BVM: Moons
http://bourbonandbvm.blogspot.com/2013/10/moons.html
Bourbon and the BVM. Muddling my way through motherhood on a drink and a prayer. Saturday, October 5, 2013. I couldn't keep myself from sharing this comic strip. Maybe it's because I'm in a constant state of sleep-deprived-slap-happy, or maybe (more likely) it's because the wannabe philosophy major in me can't resist a "turtles all the way down" joke, but this had me guffawing.

Bourbon and the BVM: On Being Nothing
http://bourbonandbvm.blogspot.com/2015/04/on-being-nothing.html
Bourbon and the BVM. Muddling my way through motherhood on a drink and a prayer. Thursday, April 23, 2015. I'm more afraid of being nothing than I am of being hurt." That was my senior quote, taken from that masterpiece of American cinema, Days of Thunder. What can I say? What meaning could my life possibly hold if I let feelings or relationships get in the way of "making something" of myself? Now, a few months from turning 30, I'm starting to realize that being nothing. Is the whole point for me. For mo...
