Break for the Beach
I took a break recently go to here: The Florida Gulf Coast To do some of this: Kindle Reading on the beach: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children And to see these awesome people: Admittedly, there are a few “Tampa Bay Rays Fans Just for the Day” in that shot. In other words, I went [...]

BlogHer Book Club: Two More Books!
I’ve had two more posts go up for the BlogHer Book Club! This book club moves at a lightning pace, doesn’t it? I love that – it just means more books for me to read. In this case, that includes: Getting to Happy by Terry McMillan (a sequel to the best-selling Waiting to Exhale); and [...]

Nice Day
It’s such a nice day today, I took a quick walk to the park at lunch. Without a coat. Because it’s 70+ degrees outside in November. (I know!) It’s going to cool off this weekend, but for now I’m really happy. Happy Friday, all! Tweet

Headed to the Fair

Potholder Swap 2010
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I never thought I’d be a person who got so excited about potholders. I mean, really – potholders? Of all things to get excited about, I never in a million years thought it would be those square things that you used to pull a sheet [...]

Thank You, Woolgirl!
I’m on what you might call a “spending freeze” these days. With the move and other issues, our budgets are a bit more stretched than usual, which means that discretionary spending is right out. This includes the yarn budget. So when I received word this morning that I had won a $24 skein of yarn [...]
