The Liebster Award: Results of Friday the 13th
One reason last Friday the 13th was a great day for me: I was nominated for the Liebster Award by two fellow bloggers, Miranda and Tiffanie (M&T Bookish), who have kindly taken the time read my writing and not turned away in scorn. A warm and grateful shout out to you both! I wasn’t sure…

Worst Blog Ever: an Ode to Valentine’s Day
I have discovered, yet again, that there is an inverse relationship between wanting to write (or feeling the pressure to write) and being able to produce something that doesn’t suck. I have wanted to write a blog for nearly a week now, and even though I have a bunch of “material,” nothing comes…

Caffeine + Dessert > (and/or better than) Sleep + Carbs
I’m seeing if I can beat the clock for this post because I have ELEVEN minutes before my computer restarts for automatic updates, WHICH, by the way, I’m highly curious why this is the third time in two days it’s doing this. Really?? I think it’s just to annoy me. I have two observations to…

The only thing that’s green about Roswell is the aliens
I actually wanted my post on why New Hampshire is not like New Mexico to be focused on the following set of reasons, but I didn’t have time to write about it then, so I just posted pictures. I can wait no longer– everyday I am shocked just a little bit more. Don’t get me…
