May... where did you go? Though a lot of days felt like they were the longest day ever, this month went by very quickly. I celebrated my 26th birthday, got signed up for my own health insurance, and got accepted into graduate school. It's been quite a busy month. Book-wise as well... at least for … Continue reading Recent Reads [May 2017]
I wrote this letter to my Nanni two years ago, when it had been eight years since she passed away. Today marks ten years since she took her spot in Heaven. It's weird how it seems like it hasn't been that long, but at the same time it feels like it's been forever. Lately it … Continue reading It’s been ten years since I’ve seen you…
It's happening everyone! I'm going back! I got my acceptance email the other day saying that I have been accepted to Wayne State University's Online Master of Library Science program. This is something I've been mulling over for the past year and a half and after working in a library for nearly a year now, … Continue reading Back to School?
I consider my weekend to be Sunday and Monday, as those are my two days off from work. So yes, I'm one of those people that go, "I work Saturdays," when people are saying, "Thank God it's Friday!" Thankfully I only work a few hours on Saturdays and I'm out by three... so I still … Continue reading Catching Up: Weekend Recap
I didn't do my 'What's Happening Wednesday' post last month due to the A to Z Challenge. I meant to, but I just completely forgot because of my focus on the challenge. Oh well. I don't think it was missed too much, but I would like to keep doing this post every month, and hopefully … Continue reading What’s Happening Wednesday {Currently}
I've been a Yankees fan for as long as I can remember, and I'm talking back since elementary school. That long. Though I don't really watch baseball as much since becoming a football fan, I still love my Yankees. There's one problem though... all my Yankees retired. It's something that every sports fan has to … Continue reading Retiring Number 2
Each year I usually like to do a mini-photo session for new pictures of myself that look like they might have been professionally done. This started back in November of 2012 when I got my first DSLR camera (a Canon Rebel t3) and froze my butt off at the ballpark to play around with taking self-portraits. … Continue reading Self Portrait Sessions – Through the Years
My birthday was last week, as you know from my Birthday Tag post, and it was a good one. This year I got a good amount of birthday money (and gift cards) and boy, did I treat myself! Mostly to books. Overall, I bought eight books with my birthday money, and at good deals too. … Continue reading Birthday Book Haul (and such)
I notice a common post among book bloggers, which is a monthly To-Be-Read (TBR) list of books they plan to read that month. I've been wanting to start doing this myself, but I can't for one simple reason - I can't stick to a reading plan. I'm sure other book bloggers have the same problem. … Continue reading Why I Don’t Do a Monthly TBR Post
Hey, hey! It's my birthday! As of today (at 4:02pm) I am twenty-six years old. oh. my. gosh. I'm now officially closer to thirty than twenty... and this saddens me. I honestly don't feel 26 in any way, shape, or form. I mean, when I see the way some teens and kids act, then yes, … Continue reading It’s My Birthday Tag
Last night was the Radio Disney Music Awards and though I don't normally watch award shows, I had to watch this one. Why? The answer is right there in the title. During the show they opened with the world premiere of the music video for the song 'Ways to be Wicked' and followed with the … Continue reading Descendants 2 Trailer (and music video)
