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
I did a post about two years ago about making money online and a few different ways you can go about doing it. While those four sites you can find on that post are still legitimate ways to do this, there is one that I found to be my favorite - Swagbucks. Swagbucks provides a number … Continue reading Swagbucks – a way to earn extra cash
This past week was National Library Week, as some of you may or may not have heard. I know we have settled into this pattern of making everything a 'holiday' with National 'this' Day and such, but I think National Library Week has some importance. Libraries are an important part of our communities after all. To celebrate … Continue reading Library Week
The best way to 'get back' at someone who mistreats you is by showing them kindness. First of all, it frustrates them more if you don't react the way they expect you to. They might be confused and try again in another way, but if you either don't react or show them even more kindness … Continue reading Kill ’em with Kindness
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Invisibility. Always invisibility. Why? Well, there are times that I'd like to be able to move around undetected (though I usually do anyway because I'm a ninja). Not for anything illegal, mind you, but to avoid certain circumstances or to not be bothered if I'm … Continue reading Invisibility
The topic of my devotional this morning was about how God is good and He never changes. I am a witness to this many times in my life - so many that I couldn't even list everything He has done for me. Of course, the most important is the salvation I have through Jesus; nothing … Continue reading God is Good
Anyone who truly knows me knows that I can be very indecisive - a terrible trait to have. I have a hard time deciding even the simplest of things sometimes - like what to eat for breakfast. If I'm not craving something or have it planned out in my head, it's torture. Or if I'm … Continue reading Decisions, Decisions
Boy, do I have a lot of cousins. I'm just talking about on my mom's side of the family. I've only ever met three of my cousins from my dad's side. To be fair, most of my mom's family still lives in our hometown and she had more siblings than my dad. Thus, more cousins. … Continue reading Cousins
