Goodbye January, Hello February!

So I noticed in my email this morning that Devourer of Books posted her January wrap up. I mention this for two reasons: 1) I think that email alerts for new posts is the way for me to go to keep up with the blogs that I love – Google Reader just isn’t cutting it [...]

It’s Been 5 Years!

My daughter pointed out that today is January 17th (I was under the impression that it was the 16th). That makes today my 5th blogoversary! I’m a little late in the celebrating department, but I’m going with it. I’ve had a wonderful 5 years. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I’ve read some great [...]

I See The Light! I See the Light!

For almost the past two years, I’ve been working on a particular project at work. Over the past few months, as we got nearer to the release date, work has been hectic. This past week, I worked 56 hours before going to bed last night. For this week especially, this is why you haven’t heard [...]

Random Dream Post for 11.11.11

I had the most random and crazy dream just before my day began. It has absolutely nothing to do with reading, books, blogging, or anything pertaining to reality, but please indulge me. I have the urge to write it out and that’s what I’m going to do. Why I don’t have the urge to write [...]

3, 2, 1 ~ Three Authors, Two Books, One Month

After listening to Townie, I knew the time had come to read Andre Dubus III’s novels. He’s written two: House of Sand and Fog and The Garden of the Last Days. Although I didn’t do it last year, I have taken the month of November to highlight authors in the past. November became the logical [...]

Where’s Literate Housewife? (Birthday Vaca Day 3)

Happy birthday to me! I’m 40 today! What better place to reach this milestone than a private beach with a catered lunch? I can’t think of another place I’d rather be. I’m going to drink in every minute of the time I’m in the Bahamas. 40 never looked so good…  

Where’s Literate Housewife? (Birthday Vaca Day 2)

Still 39, I’m boarding my very first cruise ship, the Carnival Imagination. I plan on spending a lot of time exploring all there is to offer. My sister Donielle gave me $4 to gamble with (a dollar for each decade), so I’m bound to hit the casino. I think my favorite place is bound to [...]

Where’s Literate Housewife? (Birthday Vaca Day 1)

My best friend and I are taking a five day fun and sun vacation to ring in my 40th birthday. While I won’t be online while I’m gone, I thought it would be fun to give you a little peak in what Trista and I will be up to while I’m gone. Day 1 ~ [...]

First the Tigers Lose Spectacularly, Then…

I walk into an ambush! See, I thought that being out of the country when the Big 4-0 hit would protect me from things like this. Apparently I’ve been a little too vocal about being gone because people knew the last day I’d be here beforehand. LOL! So, if you’re looking for a mint today, [...]

A Whole New Literate Housewife!

For a while now, I have been dissatisfied with the functionality or rather lack of functionality my WordPress template was offering me. For example, I wanted nested comments and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to force that to work. Over time, especially when having to type in the name of [...]
