standing still

There is a song that this girl loves to sing to herself about learning to standstill and be quiet until the soft prompting of God moves her along. It was shared with her at a poignant place in her life by and old friend and she still listens to it ever so often, particularly when [...]
missing life in the town house

This girl misses her life in the Town House.
This girl misses good food and not having to always be on the rush.
This girl misses being able to have access to the internet and her wealth of things.
This girl misses the good weather back home.
And most of all, this girl misses The Boy.
the mad rush

After what seems to be forever, this girl has arrived on the West Side of the States. She’s writing from oh-so-windy-grey’s-anatomy-rainswept Seattle after almost not making it here.
As is the case with domestic States flights, her flight to San Franciso, where she was en route to Seattle, was severely delayed and she got routed to [...]

This girl spent the day at a business conference, a global summit held by a leading NY fashion house. It was elegantly done and, much to this girl’s surprise, the day passed quickly and enjoyably with much to talk and discuss with the fellow participants and members of the host.
It was all very che che [...]

Its been a year since this girl was last in New York and the last time she wrote from Stateside soil she was nestled in the bowels of the house of a one Staircase Master. They were hoping to touch base again this trip but he’s off saving the Democrat party- he’s one of their [...]

This girl’s cousin, Hazy Day gave birth a few months back to Baby D two months ahead of her scheduled due date. When she was visiting Down Under earlier this year, Hazy Day was just into her second trimester and was still active and totally game to take this girl shopping and eating, seeing how [...]
trip down sad: upside down

Another piece from the old blog, this girl had written this- and it surprises her she remembers when, where and why she wrote this- on a particularly sad day. It was a time in her life where she was learned that, like sand in your hand, the harder you try and hold on to something, [...]
the Town House

Today, this girl and the boy moved into the Town House. It was done with little fanfare and hoopla, but quietly early in the morning. They had moved the mattress the Friday before so they were stranded without a place to sleep and opted to treat themselves to a weekend at a nice hotel off [...]

As this girl settled into helping The Father with his online MBA exam, The Princess came up to her and told her she had collected Cooper’s ashes and that they had to find a time to bury it. They hid the urn from The Parents who might react badly to them wanting to dig up [...]

This girl and The Boy are finally moving into the Town House this coming weekend and its been a mad flurry of packing and decluttering and getting the place ready. The poor part-time maid cleans alot and will be facing loads and loads of washing and ironing in the weeks to come since this girl’s [...]

This was the first essay this girl ever wrote for the her the bulletin for her former church and it still holds a dear place in her heart given she actually spent quite a fair bit of time on it, researching on baseball- though she is sure she still got some facts wrong- and reading [...]

This girl went by the house to pick The Prefect up to go see about their new golf sets. Everyone was upstairs, the maid said, as she let this girl in. And without thinking, this girl picked up the ballet shoes she was wearing and laid them a top the drawer unit. To which, the [...]
called to the breakfast table, again

This girl spends alot of time staring and watching from the sidelines these days.
Its mainly by choice that she takes a step out of the usual hodgepodge of things that she finds herself embroiled in. For a while it was work and by extension the lives- the oh so tumultuous lives- of the people she [...]
the original sock story

Jesse owned a pair of funny socks. Unlike most socks that were identical, his weren’t! One side was blue with hot pink stripes and a tiny strip of orange just at the border of where the toes would be; and the other that was white with brilliant green flowers printed all over, and each flower [...]
