That time in the spring when I break out my flip-flops again.

Free photos from Shutterfly.
A good haircut. (Which is rare for me!)
Finding deals & steals on Craigslist.
Babies. Baby people, baby kittens, baby puppies, baby horses, [...]

My mother-in-law called hubby yesterday to remind us that she needs our Christmas lists ASAP, because it’s only 8 weeks until Christmas! Yes, it’s that time of year again!
Let me preface the list by explaining why I’m writing a Christmas list at 26. No, it’s not because I’m a spoiled brat. Actually, in my family adult Christmas [...]

I’ve tried to write this post a couple of times. And so far it’s ended up blank every one of those times. This time, I’m just going to spit it out. It may not make much sense, but at least it’ll be here instead of still just sitting on my shoulders.
I was extremely fortunate to have been offered a [...]

The bad news: I have the flu.
The better news: I have extra time to visit my fav websites from my sickbed (aka the couch).
The best news: While visiting Stephenie Meyer’s website, I found out she’s secured a deal to make her adult sci fi book, The Host, into a movie.
So. Freakin’. Excited.
Like her Twilight series, Stephenie [...]

…and I’m a Martian. No no, I don’t want to be a man. But, I’ve come to the conclusion that I generally prefer the company of men. And a few special gals who don’t fit the typical mold.
I realize that I’m taking the liberty of drastically generalizing here, but why is it that women seem to be so threatened by each other? [...]

Breaking things down so I actually get stuff done sounds like a good idea, right? So, I’m going to give it a try this month.
1. Find & purchase at least one bookcase for my currently semi-homeless book collection.
2. Look for a new dining room table. (I don’t want to rush this process, so I won’t [...]
