Remember how I was being slow with book reading? Well the summer slowdown is real, and vacation is a blessing, both of which provided plenty of opportunities to start and finish books. Would you believe that 4 of this month’s books were read on the Kindle, and not as audiobooks? Shocking, I know, but when […]

Personal/Party Planning – How to Plan a Wedding in 3 Months
So I got married a few months ago. It was awesome. We had a wonderful time, and while it may not prove to be the happiest day of my life, it was a terrific day, and we are both very happy. Amazingly, I’m not the only one in my family to get married on a […]
Movie – Beauty and the Beast
I am so behind the times. Like, ridiculously so. I used to go see movies all the time, and would often see them on opening weekends. But in addition to the sadness of not seeing any of the the Oscar movies this year, I hadn’t really seen a movie in the theaters in a long […]
Personal – 7 Ways to Kick Back and Enjoy the Summertime
June // 7 Ways to Kick Back and Enjoy the Summertime Baseball – America’s past time is slow on purpose. It’s the kind of sporting event you can actually go to and kick back at. Drink a beer. Chat with a friend. Things happen all at once, and the crowd will let you know. But for […]
Recipe – Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls
After a week and a few days off, I’m back! We should be proceeding through most of the rest of the summer without interruption. “Unicorn” anything seems to be super popular now.

We’ll be right back!
Hey friends – I was hoping to have a big useful post about something I did recently here, but I was hoping to talk to someone else to fill out that post to make it not just my opinions. But unfortunately, my subject is a busy lady and hard to pin down. And because of […]
Theater – The School for Lies
I think there are a lot of people out there who assume that because a story is old, or it’s performed in a manner dissimilar from the kinds of things they’d see in movies or television that it can’t be funny. That French farce is too fancy, and not the kind of thing that will […]
Recipe – Sorting Hat Cupcakes
I kind of love being the designated cake person for the family. I made the cake for my Grandma’s birthday party last year. I made cake pops for H’s birthday last year, and did a cake for E’s birthday last year as well. It’s nice to have a thing that I’m known for being good […]
Science – The Fermi Paradox
I think I’ve mentioned before that the current work project I’ve got going allows for me to listen to lots of podcasts. I’m caught up on most of the big ones that I listen to, and it’s nice to have 1 unplayed each week, instead of say, 40 unplayed and counting. Probably best of all […]
