Scintillating Summer Skim

Summer is in full swing now with baseball games and beer gardens overflowing with people on summer vacations! As someone who still works throughout the summer, I find my getaways through podcasts and books. I am always open to suggestions and have taken notes and bookmarked several lists, including: celebrity reading groups/book clubs, the New [...]

Jellybean toes and chasing rainbows.

Last year was an up and down one: I had to say farewell for now until we meet again at the rainbow bridge. My cats lived quite long and spoiled lives - both made it over 16 years! I've gone through this before, but it hit me a bit harder this time than when I [...]

The Pants of the Traveling Sisterhood.

We all know the story of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but did you ever make it become a reality? It all started just over a year ago, when I was beginning to plan my second annual big trip with my childhood friend, Karon. We are both usually able to get a chunk of [...]

Better late than never.

I have returned! After spending 2.5 weeks in Europe, I am back in the US. I am already missing the daily run around to new cities, but not the hassle of flights. Hoping to post soon about my adventures! In the meantime, you know what day it is: Murder Monday. On my first day back [...]

Mindful Monday.

Well, well, well... April has finally come and is halfway over! I cannot believe how quickly this year is going this far! It has also been a while since I have made time to write anything down. It has been quite a busy time with work, both jobs that is, and planning my upcoming little [...]

Time to bring the dead back to life.

Finally through all of my audiobooks and having finished a book for last weeks book club, I find myself with a night off of deadlines. I may be trying to catch up on some podcasts, but they're not going anywhere. Here I am at home, relaxing early after last night's Oscars ran late...enter Netflix. Whatever [...]

Let’s start at the beginning.

I've had an influx of audiobooks being available lately and am winding down to my last one this month. So far this year I've listened to 15 audiobooks and read two books - off to a much higher better start this year over last year already! I have previously written about Chief Inspector Gamache, but [...]

Some secrets are best left unknown.
