So we’re in the process of moving into a bigger apartment. I’m not allowed to lift anything more than 20 pounds. I have mounds and mounds of books. Our new apartment is an upstairs apartment. All this to say, Shaun is a saint.
Here is the back of our little truck just a couple of days [...]
As I’m sure you’ve gathered over the last 8ish months, I’m having a baby here real, real soon. Shaun and I are both more excited about this than anything ever. We even got the crib put together in the baby’s room and everything is getting way real. I do however, have these little fears that [...]
I have thought about renaming Sundays “Unload that folder of Bookish Comics on readers” day, but it is just too long… I have decided, however, I am only going to unload my big old folder of comics on you on Sunday mornings. So leave on your pjs, grab your bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and [...]
Shaun showed this to me a couple of days ago and it cracked me up.
And if you hover over xkcd comics on their site, there is a little “secret.” This one said, “Of course, since their cautionary tale was reported in a print newspaper, no one ever read it.”

My parents were so good about reading to me. I’m not sure if that made me the reader I am today, but it sure did broaden my imagination and give me good one-on-one time with my parents. I plan on reading to my little guy all the time and he better learn to love it! [...]
As you guys, I’m sure, have gathered I’m a big time cheap skate. If I buy a book at full price, it is maybe the biggest day of my life. I tend to rely on thrift stores, my mama, and library book sales for most of my books. The library that we usually go to [...]
So I have my Google Reader set up with about 30 or 40 different blogs that I really like. Almost all of them are book blogs. I really love to see what other people are reading, what they thought and what fun blog-related stuff they’re up to. I generally tend towards blogs that post frequently- [...]
Shaun and I went to visit our families over the long weekend. My little brother graduated high school and we were there for all the surrounding festivities.
It was fun. It really was. We are so lucky to have great family and friends who love us and want to spend time with us when we are [...]
I’ve tried to be faithful in letting you know how I feel about using our iPad as an e-reader. To be perfectly honest, I haven’t used it for much else. I know that Shaun has, but I have a sneaking feeling that he mostly uses it to play games that are totally useless. In short, [...]
And my personal favorite…..
Sawyer, shirt unbuttoned, reading Ayn Rand…. what could be better?
