Tuesday Treasure Trove
Some good reads for the heart: Trying to Figure Out What's Important, What is Love?, and Three Cheers for 'Boring' Love. Tips on How to Work with a Graphic Designer. Good stuff here, though I'd add 'paying invoices promptly' to the list. A startling (or maybe not so...

Friday Favorites: Clothes Swapping
It all started at the TxSC Clothing Swap. I brought two items of clothing from my own closet that I didn't wear/didn't fit anymore, and got to take away completely new-to-me items for free. New things in my wardrobe. For free. While cleaning out my own closet. That's...

Thoughts on Politics
This will probably meander a bit, so I apologize in advance. I used to be pretty active in political/social causes. In college I was part of a group called the Coalition for Social Change. We were anti-war, pro-troops, pro environment, pro gay marriage, pro womens...
Book Review: The Help
The Help By Kathryn Stockett The Help is yet another book I picked up because I wanted to read it before seeing the movie. I still haven't seen the movie, and now I'm a bit trepidatious about it. Not because the book wasn't good, but because it was SO good, I can't...
