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…
5 Oct By 22 Comments
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!
23 Sep By 71 Comments
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 [...]
With Sincerest Gratitude

Michael, Bill, Peter and Mike, I can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve meant to me. Your music is inspiring, memorizing and fun. I am blessed to have come of age with R.E.M. You helped me through my teen years, my uncle’s suicide, you helped introduce me to my future husband and you gave [...]

Great Gone with the Wind Readalong Parts II and III
3 Sep By Leave a Comment
I am continuing to enjoy Erin Blakemore’s readalong. It’s been so long since I’ve read this book that I’m finding all of these delightful details that I’d forgotten or have mixed together because of the movie. Part II contained the scene at the Atlanta Bazaar where Rhett gets Scarlett, a young widow in mourning – [...]
The Heroine In My Own Backyard
24 Jul By 8 Comments
Last year, Erin Blakemore wrote an incredible book about literary heroines entitled The Heroine’s Bookshelf. I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting my favorite female characters and getting introduced to new heroines. Great heroines in literature are so meaningful, but they are nothing compared to the heroines in your own life. One of the most beautiful and special heroines [...]
TSS ~ Beating the Heat
24 Jul By 9 Comments
Normally the girls and I hit the pool on Saturdays. Not this week. It was simply too hot. Instead, we met up with my friend Miki and her daughter Sam and headed to the mall and then the art museum. Since talking with a tweep about nail polish, I had the bug to buy some [...]
In Which I’m Going to See Simon Van Booy
12 Jul By 1 Comment
Assuming you read my posts immediately when they hit your feed reader or inbox (and who doesn’t?), I am currently on my way from the Noke to Richmond, VA. I’ve planned this trip from the moment I saw Fountain Bookstore and The Book Lady’s Blog announce tonight’s event with Simon Van Booy. I do not [...]
