Spilling the Beans ~ My Bloggiesta Round Up

My first Bloggiesta was a success, even if it did end on Saturday night.  I was happy to learn that Bloggiesta ran through 8am this morning.  God knows I have much more that I can do, but life had other plans for us yesterday.  While meeting a friend at a local park for a walk [...]

Bloggiesta Update #3 ~ In Which I Provide a Clue

A really quick update before I hit the sack… I wrote, formatted and scheduled two more reviews. That’s four reviews in about 24 hours. Boy, does that feel good. I also (here comes the clue) formatted and scheduled the interview post that had me all excited last night. I’ve come to realize that there is [...]

We Now Interrupt this Bloggiesta…

My plans for tonight were to write a bunch of reviews.  That all changed when I received an email tonight.  A really exciting opportunity has come through for The Literate Housewife Review.  This email actually added to my blog-related to-do list for the weekend, so I still spent the past couple of hours on Bloggiesta [...]

Ready, Set, OLE!

Let the Bloggiesta games begin! I’m a little late to the party today because of that earning a living thing {sigh}. The important thing is that I’m here and I’m going to spend every spare moment between now and Sunday morning improving my blog and clearing off an ever growing Honey Do list. The only [...]

Since I Can’t Be Captivated…

I’m doing the Bloggiesta thang this weekend!  This will be my first voyage into this blog clean up, perk up, improvement celebration.  I’ve always wanted to take part with it since the first time Natasha from Maw Books scheduled it.  This time, no excuses, I’m doing it! I figure if I can’t get into anything [...]

Tuesday’s Temptation ~ June 7

Despite how wonderful my current reads might be (or, this week, how incredibly disturbing), I really enjoy being able to look over my shelves and drool over the as-of-yet unread goodies. I don’t know about you, but I could spend a half hour or more just touching the spines and, because I have to double [...]
