Five years ago, this blog came into existence. It's hard to believe that it's been five years already! There I was, sitting in the computer lab at a new school, when I got the idea to start a blog. I didn't have a real plan going into it - I just thought it'd be fun … Continue reading 5 Years of Blogging
This year for vacation my mom and I decided to break our tradition of going to Vermont like we have been for the past three years. It took us a while to decide where we'd be going for vacation this year, but we decided that it was time to finally scope out two states we've … Continue reading Vacation 2017
Pet owners normally tend to lean one way or the other when it comes to having either dogs or cats as a pet. I have had cats all my life, minus a few years when we weren't allowed to have cats at two of the places we lived. Obviously, I prefer cats to dogs. It's … Continue reading Why I Prefer Cats
Does anyone else suffer the problem of having too many unread books to choose from for your next read? I'm sure you do; if you're an avid reader anyway. I currently have a ton on my NOOK, thanks to those ebook deals I mentioned last week, and now I have no idea what to read … Continue reading Poll: What Should I Read Next? (need your help!)
I love book deals! And the best part, they're everywhere! Okay, maybe the ones in stores aren't always super-great, but they can be at times. For instance, I've gotten a book at Barnes & Noble that was 30% off, plus my 10% member discount, then I also was able to add a 20% coupon I … Continue reading eBook Deals
Happy Friday everyone! Seriously, today is a good day because it was a year ago today that I started my amazing job at the library! Sometimes it doesn't feel like it's been a year and other times it, well, I guess it's never felt like a year. It still doesn't. But it is. I'm so … Continue reading Year One, Complete!
Dear Best Friend, You know who you are. First off, I'm truly thankful that God placed us in that middle school Spanish class years ago because we definitely came into a great friendship that I think will last. We don't see each other nearly as often as we used to, but that hasn't changed a … Continue reading Letter to My Best Friend
I'm going through a summer slump in the blogging department at the moment, but I found this great post by Holly at Nut Free Nerd listing 10 Reasons to Love Your Library. Check it out - because it's 1000% accurate - and give Holly some love! And your library too.
My last post was all about the startup of my new bullet journal. I tend to go through it at least once a day to see if there's anything I can add or just to mark off some of the items I'm completing on my lists. That's always the fun part of planners - checking … Continue reading The One Con of My Bullet Journal
After months of contemplation and weeks of research, I have finally joined the bullet journaling community! I have seen them on Instagram for about a year now, but never gave them much thought until earlier this year when I was looking for a planner. I had decided against it back in January because I thought … Continue reading I Started a Bullet Journal
I'm just going to leave this video right here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0KYU2j0TM4 Susan Cain is the author of the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. I haven't read this book yet, but it's on my list (in fact, it's on my shelf). My best friend texted me the link to … Continue reading The Power of Introverts
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
