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...
A funny little video to start off: How to Piss Off a Frog. What Kind of Book Reader Are You? I'm a Chronological Bookophile Cross-Under Multi-tasker. 😀 Ladies Need Sex, Too. Self-explanatory, one would hope. This Canadian ad campaign is awesome and long overdue...
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...
This dog can do parkour (run parkour? perform parkour? what is the correct terminology here?) and it is adorable and awesome to watch. Sarah has some really good advice here: 33 Things I've Learned in 33 Years and here: How to Do Things By Yourself (and Actually Enjoy...
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...
The Dressmaker by Kate Alcott This was another random pick from the new fiction section at the library, and overall I was satisfied with it. It follows the story of Tess, a young Englishwoman who wants to be a dressmaker. She lands a job as personal maid to a famous...
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...
