I'm here
- finding the humor in teaching high school, writing a memoir, keeping the faith, reading good books, and keeping company with cats named Charlotte and Emily Bronte!
My story
- I struggle with all that has made me "crooked" in my life especially growing up in the Bible belt where my grandma's fear of the end of the world scared the crap out of me on a daily basis. By the time I was 7 I was convinced I had committed a sin that was so completely and utterly unpardonable that I was going straight to hell. So I hopped on the church bus each Sunday morning desperate to spend time with God in spite of my impending doom. My journey to find God in church led to a few disastrous entanglements with "Christians" who gave me every reason to give up my search for Jesus and run like the dickens to get away from them. I did run, too, all the way to the West Coast, and even though I have some pretty nasty wounds, Jesus, I believe, is at work straightening all my "crooked" places. In my opinion, it's taking too damn long, but then again, I struggle to do my part in this process of being set free. Redemption is the work of Jesus. Maturity, well, that seems to be up to me, and evidently, I'm a slow learner.
blog title
- Isaiah 40: 4, 54 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Wise Words
- What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.~C. S. Lewis
- The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.~C. S. Lewis
- I gave in, and admitted that God was God.~ C. S. Lewis
- Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. ~C. S. Lewis
- If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there shall thy hand lead me and thy right hand shall hold me. ~Psalms 139: 9, 10
- O stand, stand at the window As the tears scald and start; You shall love your crooked neighbour With your crooked heart. ~W.H. Auden
- Breathe in experience, breathe out poetry. ~ Muriel Rukeyser

It looks great, darlin'! I especially like the kitty accessories on your couch. Did that come with the slip covers?

Also? You have a lot of books.
In your first pictures, they are all straight-y and OCD-y.
In your last pictures, they are taking over the joint. I like it when books take over the joint. My books have totally taken over the joint at Blognut Manor. In fact, they are now running the joint. :)

And somewhere in there, this blog, (which hates me, incidentally), ate my second comment.
The one that said this:
Hellooooo! Am I all alone here on this blog? Commenting first? In front of Cheri? AGAIN!
Can I get a 'booyah' from the group?
Maybe the blog knew I was being immature and ate my comment to save my soul from my evil ways?
Posted by: blognut | November 04, 2009 at 01:37 PM
Fourth? I'm FOURTH? Blognut, you couldn't have let me be second? I was driving down the freeway. Pulling over would have proven my insanity once and for all. Not that licking Adam Lambert's album cover photo off my computer screen didn't already prove it.
Posted by: Cheri @ Blog This Mom! | November 04, 2009 at 01:45 PM
Oh, by the way, since this is supposed to be about She, I should say that I love the patterns on the slipcovers. I think it is all charming and works perfectly and cheerfully. Also? My bookshelves have taken over the joint, too. What is that about us?
Posted by: Cheri @ Blog This Mom! | November 04, 2009 at 01:48 PM
Embrace your insanity Cheri. We love that about you.
The fact that you lick pictures of Adam Lambert, have a crush on a Hot Toe Doctor, walk into walls (doors?), and occasionally wet yourself all add to the charm that is Cheri. We wouldn't change a thing about you, sweetheart.
XO

Blognut: Thank you for not mentioning the M&M addiction.
She: I really, really love your living room. It is warm and inviting, all the while being elegant and tasteful. That's a winning combination.
Posted by: Cheri @ Blog This Mom! | November 04, 2009 at 02:51 PM
I like 'em! You know we have the same taste, right? In art, furniture, colors, etc.
I think the red looks great for fall/winter... and then maybe you could bring the white back for spring/summer...?

Bring back the old striped rug and it might work better. I like the slipcovers, but the rug and covers seem to not work.
Posted by: Heather | November 04, 2009 at 05:20 PM
I love it all, but I think Heather is right. If there's an "off" note it is the rug.
I love the striped slipcovers with the painting on the wall.
Posted by: Jenn @ Juggling Life | November 04, 2009 at 06:44 PM
Looks lovely.
Posted by: deb | November 04, 2009 at 06:45 PM
I like it, I just think the rug is out of place
Posted by: flutter | November 04, 2009 at 08:06 PM
I love the rug.
Posted by: Cheri @ Blog This Mom! | November 04, 2009 at 08:22 PM
I have the same rug in my living room. It looks better in yours. Swear to God.
Posted by: Cheri @ Blog This Mom! | November 04, 2009 at 08:29 PM
Did I mention that I love that rug?
I do.
Love that rug.
Posted by: Blognut | November 04, 2009 at 08:35 PM
That rug is just gorgeous!
Posted by: Katy | November 04, 2009 at 08:40 PM
I'm moving in.
No, wait.
Scratch that.
I wasn't invited.
YOU'RE moving in.
But only if you bring like, every single thing in that living room.
I LOVE it. All of it!

Rug is good. No such thing as too many patterns. Patterns and color are goooood! I totally want to come live with you. Please?! How about a vacation at your place! It's good really!
Posted by: Trish | November 04, 2009 at 09:08 PM
the rug is beautiful.
juan loves the flower painting.
juan is real.

if there's an 'off-note' in this comment section it's...well, you know.
Posted by: kate | November 04, 2009 at 09:17 PM
Wow! Color! I love the wall color.
Posted by: Wanda | November 04, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Love it!
Posted by: patti | November 05, 2009 at 05:22 AM
I LOVE them! Good choices. Looks so homey, I want to read one of your books on your couch :)
Posted by: MissM | November 05, 2009 at 02:06 PM
I vote for denim, but there's time to recover before I move in.
Posted by: Carrie Link | November 05, 2009 at 03:38 PM
I like the white better...but, if the white was stained something awful, I could imagine wanting to change them.
Posted by: Lainey-Paney | November 05, 2009 at 04:58 PM
They're beautiful!
Posted by: Leightongirl | November 07, 2009 at 07:35 AM
No! I love it!! It look so much warmer. I don't think it is too much, but you could always change the rug easy pleasy. But it has more joy now.
:)
Posted by: amber | November 07, 2009 at 05:03 PM
YUM! I LOVE your place-both in print and in person!
Posted by: Lo | November 07, 2009 at 07:56 PM
Um Carrie, WE have to get a bigger place for ALL of us to fit when that finally happens! Remember?!?!!? AND we need a lanai like on Golden Girls!!!!!:)xoxo
Posted by: Lo | November 07, 2009 at 07:57 PM
WOW! Warm and vibrant!
Just how I see you. ♥
