Life of a Renaissance Gal
Studio portrait of a young woman in Christmas tree dress and hat costume. Christchurch, New Zealand, 1910 via I’ve missed doing these roundup posts. Do you have big weekend plans? The streetcar begins service in OKC this weekend and I’m helping out at one of the platforms. I’ve been making a final push on my…
I fully intended to post on Friday but when I went to do so discovered that WordPress had gone and changed things on me. I didn’t have time to figure it all out so I opted not to post. Reading… About My Mother: True Stores of a Horse-Crazy Daughter and Her Baseball-Obsessed Mother. I’m not…
Reading… Priestdaddy. I’ve been on a real memoir kick lately. This one is very different; it’s the story of a poet whose father is a Catholic priest. Parts are laugh-out-loud funny and parts are pretty dark & sad. It was a slow read (took me about a month to make it through). It’s basically a…
Reading… Endurance: My Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery. I’ve been reading (listening to) this for book club and am thoroughly enjoying it. I wanted to be an astronaut as a kid – until I realized how much science was involved and that I would probably have to join the military. I definitely suffer…
Watching… Bletchley Circle: San Francisco. I loved the original series about a group of women who were code breakers in England during WWII. This follow up series started off pretty good but became unbelievable to the point of distraction. There were three mysteries told in two episodes each. I felt the last mystery (last two…

Erica is in her 30’s and in one day, loses her job, gets dumped by the guy she’s been seeing, and goes into anaphylactic shock. A counselor approaches her about helping her get her life together;…
Watching… The Romanoffs. I am taking a break from Acorn and decided to start an Amazon series. I’ve watched one episode so far; it was okay. It was set in Paris and was subtitled through most of the episode. I was working on some mending and was a little annoyed that I couldn’t watch and…
Members of Robert F. Scott’s expedition to south pole inside an ice grotto with Terra Nova ship in the distance. 1911 via HiP Eating organic really is good for you. Time is more valuable than money. I want to take all the courses. Best. Job. Ever. Super inspired by this house. My latest dream fixer…
Watching… The Rookie. I think this is one of two new shows that I have watched this season. I’m a big Nathan Fillion fan so I had to give it a shot. I really enjoyed the first episode; I love the whole second life, pursuing your dream, concept. I’m not a fan of the trying…
David Lyle via Wooster Collective Amazon now has their own home furnishing line and a lot of it is on sale. I love this chair! I love her style (especially the first outfit). Facts that could save your life. Please! Attempting to do more of this. This could be fun. If I lived in Battle…
