So. You're probably wondering: who is Sam Phillips? Up until a few months ago, I was unfamiliar with her name, if not her voice and music. If you've ever watched Gilmore Girls, then you have an idea of her sound, because she wrote and scored music for that show for 7...
With my boyfriend out of country for a month, and having had no energy for birthday shenanigans last weekend, the consensus was that some serious girl time was needed. So tonight me and a bunch of my lady friends are headed to dinner at a new Italian place I've wanted...
This morning I had a craving for a chai tea latte. A pretty intense craving. And I had some free time and some errands to run, so I thought - why not? and hopped in the car. But did I go to the closest coffee place in order to fulfill this craving, as most sensible...
Heartless By Anne Elisabeth Stengl Another New Fiction shelves find at the library; luckily, this one was worth the find. This book plugs itself as 'timeless fantasy' which is true. It's a classic prince must rescue the princess from the dragon theme, but with a few...

The Summer Country By James A. Hetley This was yet another random pick from the New Fiction section at the library. Generally I love a good modern-day crosses paths with Irish Fae-lands story, but in this case I did not. The main female character was an idiot, all the...
Life sort of went insane with freelancing work this week, the result of which is I didn't have time/opportunity to bake and take pictures of the recipe thing I wanted to share. And since next week I'll have my mom in town, and be down in San Antonio for my sister's...
