How to Nurture Your Jane Austen Obsession. I kind of want the dish towel, of all things. 🙂 Why It's Ok to Stay In Tonight. Not that I needed any more justification, but several of these are spot-on for me (the second, and the last two). A really scary true story...

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...
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,...

Love/Hate
Joining up with the lovely Noël for the Love It/Hate It link-up. I love cold refreshing beverages and ice cream and milkshakes. I hate the brain freeze headache I usually get from consuming them too fast. I love doing design work. I hate that I sometimes have...
10 Things You Didn’t Know
I've seen a lot of 'Me, Myself & I' and 'Things I'm Afraid to Tell You' posts floating around lately, and while I'm not going to do either one of those (at this time), I did think a post where you get to know me a bit better was a good idea. So here, in no particular...
