How to Nurture Your Jane Austen Obsession. I kind of want the dish towel, of all things. ๐ Why It's Ok to Stay In Tonight. Not that I needed any more justification, but several of these are spot-on for me (the second, and the last two). A really scary true story...
100 Foods to Try Before You Die
Technically this should bee called 100 Foods & Drinks, since it has several beverages on it, but whatever. A friend had this on Facebook, and I was interested to see how many I had already eaten. (There may have been some intensive Googling, since I didn't even know...
Book Review: The Knife of Never Letting Go
The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking #1) by Patrick Ness Let me start by saying that I'm glad Alycia posted about this book and recommended it, because I probably wouldn't have found it otherwise. It's the story of Todd, the last young boy in Prentisstown, a...

Five Things Friday
1. It's amazing how productive a day can be when you get solid sleep at night. I've slept great all week, and I've gotten so much done! Quite an unusual state of affairs for this insomniac. 2. Part of my trip back home involved helping my mom go through...

What I Wore: On Vacation
I have something a little different and fun for today's What I Wore: a recap of a whole week! I took my trusty tripod & camera (and iPhone) with me on vacation last week, and thought it'd be neat to do a mini chronicle of what I wore each day. I didn't always have the...
