Friday Five (15)

1. At the cafe where I work, it is an annual tradition to sell Christmas cookie trays. It is a competition for the employees- whoever sells the most gets a prize- and people will come in and order 100 dozen or something crazy like that to take to clients. I am, of course, the baker, [...]

Book I Just Gave Up On: The Solace of Leaving Early

The Solace of Leaving Early, by Haven Kimmel
I read Haven Kimmel’s A Girl Named Zippy maybe five years ago and LOVED it. I remember sitting on the porch swing at my moms and laughing until I couldn’t breathe at this book. A couple of years ago, I picked it up again and if it is [...]

Random Questions Vlog

One of my friends challenged a bunch of us to do a vlog answering a list of questions.
I did mine this morning, sans makeup and before getting dressed. It’s pretty impressive.

Friday Five (14)

1. Oh my gosh you guys, this week. This frigging week. I’m so tired I can’t even move. I haven’t had time to blog or tweet or anything and I miss my friends that live in my computer! Hope I haven’t missed anything amazing happening. Let me know if I did. On top of being [...]

Friday Five (13) Confessions Edition!

1. Shaun and Isaac- These guys see me at my worst and my best and with [...]

Friday Five (11)

1. After he gets home from work today, Shaun is on vacation for a whole week! Which means that, more importantly, I am on vacation for a whole week. We’re going to visit our families for Thanksgiving, but for 5 days it is just going to be us. At our house. No plans. I’m so [...]

NaNoWriMo: Halfway There!

Yesterday was officially halfway through NaNo!
I was really hesitant going into this and unsure if my story could keep my attention for long enough to get it on paper. As I’ve started writing, it really has become a wonderful release for me creatively.
The NaNo site has a stats page that I’ve become totally [...]
