But dang it! This one is funny. Later today (as if) I promise to post a long and painfully emotional thank you letter to Ree Drummond for her amazing, insightful and incredibly penetrating post “Ten Important Things I’ve Learned About Blogging” because wow – my whole life is changed now. You totally rock Ree!!!!
Has anyone been watching The Pillars of the Earth mini-series on Starz or Netflix or some other network? I’ve been keeping up with the latest installments via my best friend Netflix and with each episode I grow more and more dissatisfied. I loved the book and the subsequent World Without End and wrote a post about both books. I was really looking forward to watching the movie adaptation. I remember the book was filled with plenty of debauchery and debasement [...]
. Last year we planted six fruit trees. Two pears, two apples, a cherry and a peach. This year I harvested a dozen pears, a dozen peaches and two apples. We ate the pears. The apples were admired for their mutant appearance and discarded. Hopefully next year they will be mature enough for a better harvest. I decided to save the peaches for a later date. . . I washed them. Peeled them. Coated them in lemon juice and sprinkled [...]
Things were beginning to get uncomfortable. The Cardinal Richelieu/sex toys post had been my most recent post since mid-August, and I knew you were getting tired of seeing “What Kinds of Sex Toys Might Cardinal Richelieu Have Used?” pop up periodically at the top of the page whenever you accessed Rechelle Unplugged. I wanted to see it replaced with something else as much as you did, but I hadn’t received any more letters to answer or experienced anything particularly postworthy, [...]
This film was posted at the website of author Kelly Corrigan. I have not read any of her books, but aim to check them out!
Thanks to Ann for sending it. I cried.
We are on Spring Break and on the road – so posting will be light.
A blog for skeptical weirdos who like to think and read.
Rechelle's personal, and often irreverent blog covers gardening, atheism, religion, books and much, much more.
wow, that’s an awesome video :-)
oh, and have fun traveling
Great video! This is why I love this site I just found: http://www.kickstarter.com. I think it’s important to encourage projects like this, not just because artists, writers, etc. need a way to live while they are producing work which they may later be able to make a profit from, but because we all need a little encouragement. Pledges start at just $1. That isn’t much, but it’s enough to say “One more person believes in you and what you are doing.” How awesome is that to be able to touch someone’s life in that way, to encourage them to follow their dreams and turn them into reality? And $1 here or $10 there does add up. Here’s one writer I think is worth supporting in her dream: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christinarosalie/a-field-guide-to-now. I don’t know her personally. I only read her blog occasionally. Every time I read something she’s written, I’m inspired. Her words have encouraged me, and I want to give a little of that encouragement back. And this is what I love about the internet:o)
Why weren’t any men invited to this reading?
Speaking of men, I’ve decided to attend man camp this year. I’m very afraid, but maybe it will yield some great blogging material. I just hope they have wi-fi at the campsite.
Be yourself…
Be happy…
You only have 1 life.
Make it count :)
Ooh, that was really good. I love stuff like that! :)
Oh Hey I GOT THE BOOK ! And where the hell are you going? Church RETREAT?? Bahhhaaaa,…I crack myself up.
Gosh, I needed that !!!!!
In the spirit of don’t let the bstrds (trying to avoid the spam filter) get you down,

Great video.
Thank you–I recently jumped both feet into a new project at work and was anxious. This video helped make me feel better.
Finally had time today to watch this video. Really wonderful.
But even more interesting are some of Kelly’s earlier posts regarding her POV on religion.
