This weekend the whole clan took Friday off and flew to Michigan in order to celebrate the First Communion of my best friends children, Abby and Ethan. Although both girls have flown before, this will be the first flights they will remember (Emma has memories of her flight to Chicago when she was 4, but [...]
I Admit I’ve Got Nothing
9 Apr By 8 Comments
It’s nearly 11pm on Sunday night. I do not have a review written to post. It feels necessary to post on Mondays, so I thought I’d write a post about what I’ve been thinking about lately. Well, an hour into that post and I realized it wouldn’t be done in time to get enough sleep [...]
February 2012 Recap
3 Mar By 4 Comments
While my spreadsheet numbers have gone down from an estimated 138 books read in 2012 to 118, I still had a fabulous reading month. Just look at these beauties I read: I also made some progress on my reviews. I started February 11 or 12 reviews in the hole. When the month [...]
Goodbye January, Hello February!
1 Feb By 18 Comments
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!
17 Jan By 22 Comments
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 [...]

18 Nov By 5 Comments
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
11 Nov By 4 Comments
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
27 Oct By 22 Comments
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)
8 Oct By 13 Comments
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)
7 Oct By 8 Comments
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 [...]
