Bits & Pieces
1. It's October, which means new sponsors (check them out in the sidebar) and lots of awesome things but mostly: it's my birthday month! It should be good times here on the blog. I sat down with my planner yesterday and plotted out some fun stuff, and started thinking...
Tips for Insomniacs
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...
Sunday Confessions
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,...

Christmas in July
This past month I signed up for the Christmas in July gift swap hosted by the amazing Alyx. She paired me up with Noël for the swap, and let me just say, how appropriate is my swap partner's name for this? Haha. We traded emails and mailing addresses and vague gift...
Ask Me Anything
Ever wondered anything about me that I haven't mentioned or covered on the blog? (to be fair, there is probably plenty - this is still a growing space). Well, now's your chance to find out. I'm going to being doing a post (or several, depending) dedicated to answering...
