A Talent for War (Alex Benedict #1) By Jack McDevitt I've read other works by McDevitt (the Priscilla Hutchins/Academy series, Eternity Road, Ancient Shores) and been impressed, so I finally got around to trying out his other series. The Talent for War is the first...
Music can be very powerful to me, but it seems like most of this last year I kind of let slide my appreciation and exploration of it. So the last few weeks I've tried to focus on discovering a lot of new music/bands, and re-discovering some old goodies that I hadn't...
I had such fun with both the Cold Hands Warm Hearts gift swap, and the holiday gift swap through Etsy Texas Crafters, that I decided to organize one of my own! So, introducing the Be My Valentine Gift Swap! Why should Valentine's Day be just about lovers/significant...
Some of you may have read on Twitter earlier today that I have this gorgeous purple Chinese blouse I wanted to wear for date night, but wasn't sure what to pair it with. I ended up pulling together something decent, so thought I'd do a quick What I Wore to show you...
A little while back Angie from Lariats & Lavender tagged me in this post on her site. Holidays were a bit hectic, so I'm just now getting to it. Here it goes! Rules: You must post these rules. Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their blog. Answer...

So, as you may have assumed, we survived the trip up north. Even better, the relationship with the boy survived exposure to teen Amanda geekdom and nosy family questions. 🙂 It was a good time. I got to see my sisters and mom, and a big chunk of the extended family. I...
Hi! I'm back in Texas after surviving the frozen northlands. I'll do a holiday round-up post tomorrow or the next day, because it was a good trip and there were a few epic gifts that need to be celebrated. But since I'm still playing catch-up on work, I'm just doing a...
Tomorrow the boyfriend, puppy, and I embark on The Great Christmas Roadtrip of 2011. We are piling ourselves and all of our various suitcases, kennel/toys, and gifts into my car and hitting the 18-ish-hour road to Ohio. This will be an occasion on two fronts: 1) the...
