1. I am still trying to catch up on everything I missed over T-day break. I've managed to get the email and work stuff under control, but I'm still going through blog posts in my reader and such. It is one of my missions over the weekend! 2. I've got a very rough...
1. I will probably not ever go to another high school reunion. My 10-year was this year (last night, in fact). It was the first one we've had, since we skipped the 5-year. And it was just weird. I feel so far beyond the person I was in high school. And yeah,...
1. I really want to meet more local bloggers (in person!), but there doesn't seem to really be a local blogger meetup, at least not of the lifestyle/non-professional blog kind. Which means I should probably just organize one myself if I want it to happen. But...
1. I don't really get the deal with holiday decorations. A Christmas tree, ok, yes, I subscribe to that tradition and like it. Maybe even some lights outside if I'm feeling really motivated. But covering the entire house and trees and roof? Big, inflatable,...
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky This was the latest pick for the Blogger Book Club, and I was happy with the choice as I'd been meaning to read it anyway. And I'm going to go counter to most of the blogger gals I chatted with about it and say that I...
1. I had grand plans to be super productive in the internet world today (work and blog and shop stuff), and then I had my annual eye doctor appointment. I wear contacts, in case you didn't know. And today's exam included a pupil dilation, which takes a few hours to...
The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston In Wessex, England in 1628, Bess Hawksmith's mother is tried and hung as a witch. Poor and alone in the world, the only hope Bess has of surviving the lynch mob that will focus on her next is to become a witch herself. That...
Linking up with Alyx. 1. Sometimes I will bookmark an item in a 'Shopping' folder in my bookmarks instead of pinning to Pinterest because I don't want anyone else to snatch it up before I can. 2. I'm really glad Elena got eliminated from Project Runway. She was...
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...
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...
