~ Ernest Hemingway One of my favorite things about summer is that everyone from Jen Lancaster to Swathmore College publish reading lists. And what’s one of my favorite (sometimes only) pastimes? Reading. So without further ado, here is a list of books I recommend or am planning to read during my summer. “The Last Time […]
Mo’ Musings
Hello friends, and a good Wednesday morning to you. Welcome to “Mo’ Musings.” These are just little thoughts that randomly enter my head, guide you to what I want to share, and more. Hope you enjoy! I went out with some girlfriends Saturday night. At some point, I mentioned to my friend Amanda that I […]
“Gossip is just news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.”
~ Liz Smith My thoughts have been rather scattered lately so I decided to embrace it and write a post based on the more interesting tidbits running rampant in my mind. I was getting my hair cut and colored on Friday when a young girl in high school came into the salon. She had white-blonde […]
Times They Are A Changin’
We'll have to see how this works, because as Bob Dylan said, "Times they are a changin'." I gave in. I did something I never thought I'd do. I bought an e-reader. In fact, I bought Barnes and Noble's nook® tablet to be exact. And that's how I'm composing this blog. I shrugged and said, […]
“If you want a happy ending…
It matters where you stop the story." – Peter Lamberson (a friend of mine) posted this on his FB wall a few days ago, but originally, it can be credited to Orson Welles. Several weeks ago I posted about my plans for the rest of the year, including earning some merit badges from You Can […]
an·noy/əˈnoi/Verb 1. Irritate (someone); make (someone) a little angry: “your cheerfulness annoyed me”; “rock music loud enough to annoy”.
I've been a bit crabby this week. Mostly because I'm sunburned and can't sleep because I can't get comfy because I'm sunburned. It's a vicious cycle, I know. So rather than trying to come up with the mental clarity to write stuff, it's going to be a randomized post. My family has a cabin on […]
“Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes,…
… and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." - Ada Louise Huxtable So here we are, July 1st. Exactly six months left of 2011. Which makes it a great time […]
Why Detroit still has yet to learn its lesson
Last week as I was listening to the evening news, something caught my attention. It was Detroit's Councilwoman JoAnn Watson emphatically stating (again) that Detroit deserves a bailout. "It was this city that this nation owes so much to, and we should not take a position of being victims," said JoAnn Watson in an interview […]
Come To Your Senses!
Two weeks ago, I posted my first attempt at copying Daily Candy's Weekend Guide. I've decided I'd like to make this a weekly post (or at the very least a twice monthly post), and so without further ado…. FEAST YOUR EYES ON… I came to hear about Tess Gerritsen last summer when TNT aired a […]
Wine in the Bucket
A few months ago, my friend Jen and I started a book club. It had started as a discussion on what books I had read recently, as Jen was looking for something new to read, and it just sort of blossomed into a "We should start a book club!" kind of thing (being that Jen […]
