Well I was supposed to be at work for 8:00 this morning and what do you know! I woke up to my phone ringing at 8:43 with my boss asking if I just wanted the day off. She’s a very cool woman. At first I apologized profusely then realized that I finish all of my [...]

After the post last night, a couple of people wanted to see what some of the interior art of Stardust looked like. I’m hoping that Mr. Vess and Mr. Gaiman wouldn’t mind me showing it here as hopefully it will lead to more buyers I found most of these by doing a quick [...]

Out of boredom tonight, I decided to go to Barnes and Noble…big surprise there, right? I meandered my way over to the sci-fi/fantasy section (another big surprise there) and what do my eyes fall upon but the new hardcover Stardust! I am in love and I have a new favorite book! I’m going to have [...]

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this book. It’s not a book that pulls the reader along, it’s a book that you read slowly and ponder on. It’s a book that kept my opinions changing throughout my reading of it. I’d think that it was beautiful and then I would think…”now why did [...]

The past couple of days have been a time of renewal…a time to recharge. Megan and I have been talking a lot lately about the way things were, the way things are, and the way things always will be between us. Two years ago, Hurricane Katrina blew us to two different locations and forced us [...]

I’ve gotta stop reading these tear jerkers! The Tiger Rising was another great book by Kate DiCamillo. I picked this one up after reading The Tale of Despereaux and falling in love with that one. I’ve become a huge fan of her after reading these two books and can’t wait to get my hands on [...]

I feel like there are no words that I can say that can adequately describe The Time Traveler’s Wife…but I’ll try. Within the first few pages of the book, I knew that this would be one of the most emotionally gripping books that I have read. It proved to be not only that, but also [...]

So I didn’t even make it as far as the interview on the first one…here’s the story:
When I first applied for this job it was in response to an ad in the paper that didn’t list the company name, didn’t say anything about the company except that they were hiring counselors and only listed the [...]

I’ve been so stressed lately and I’m not entirely sure why. I think it’s just a number of things. Much of it is good stress, but good stress is stress none the less. I could sit here and ramble on about everything that’s stressing me out, but that would only make me stress out even [...]

I just realized that it’s time for a 10:4 Challenge check in…actually, yesterday was check in time but I forgot. This month wasn’t so good, but it wasn’t so bad…I lost 2 more pounds! Could’ve been better, but hey, there’s still 2 more months left and I’m less than 2 pounds away from successfully completing [...]
