There's been a lot of talk swirling around the blogosphere about the authenticity of blogging and how we all only see a curated version of a blogger's life, not all the real nitty gritty. Whether it's because we feel we always have to present a positive, shiny...
My choices for today's 30 Days of Lists prompt. I quite liked this topic! I don't have a pretty picture of a fancy notebook (since I'm not keeping one), but I did find some maps of said fictional places. 1. Terre d'Ange (Jacqueline Carey) 2. Dragaera (Steven...
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...
As some of you might know, I struggle with insomnia pretty regularly, and have for several years. Since I know I'm not the only one out there with this issue, I thought I'd share some of the things that help me. The combination of the below has helped me go...
1. I'm not sure this comes across in everyday posting (ok, maybe a little, just given the name of my blog), but I am a huge geek. As is the boy. Like, we bonded over playing World of Warcraft together when we first started dating. And, I still play The Sims 3 (though,...
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...
Last weekend my friend Tim organized an outing to Natural Bridge Caverns, because he had not yet in his life been inside a cave and figured it was time to remedy that. Ian & I hadn't been to this particular cave system either, so we went along. It's about an hour...
Linking up with Neely for Sunday Social. This week's theme is food. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Curry, or some sort of pasta. What's your guilty pleasure/comfort food? Chips. Sometimes with salsa, sometimes just...
Linking up with one of my wonderful sponsors, Amy of The Charming Blog, for this month's 10 on 10. All time favorite band? This is tricky. My music tastes have changed a bit over the years. Um, for sheer longevity of fan-ness, I'd have to go with either Ben Folds...
Today marks exactly 3 years since Ian and I first met, and I thought I'd share that story since it almost didn't happen. We had actually 'met' before that online (yes, we're one of those eHarmony couples - my mom keeps saying we should do a commercial for them), and...
Hi, I’m Amanda!
I’m a self-employed graphic designer by day, and a crafty hungry bookworm by night. Dragonflight Dreams is where I write about books, recipes, internet goodies, life things, crafty projects, Austin happenings, and more.
Thanks for stopping by!
