I’m currently blogging from a wi-fi zone in my building. It’s wonderful that they have it, but not quite so wonderful that our wireless has been down since Friday. What started as an apartment-wide issue transformed into a apartment-specific issue as of Monday morning, and the technician can’t come out until Wednesday. It wouldn’t be […]

I Miss…
I mean, really. Who wouldn’t miss this smile, and the laugh that comes along with it? I am finally back in Chicago after a wonderful (almost) two weeks with family. As always, it was bittersweet to say goodbye to Arizona, wildlife and sunsets included. I miss it already. We enjoyed some delicious meals during the […]
Book Review: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
What better way to kick off my 2012 blogging than with a book review? My latest obsession comes in the form of a book series. Currently, there are seven books in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series (with an eighth to be released in 2013). I had heard about her work before, but hadn’t pursued the books […]

The festivities began just before sunset on Christmas Eve, when Bobby, Papa Bender, Eric and I ventured out for a scenic mountain […]

The Ghosts Of Christmases Past
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind comments and thoughts on my rejection letter post. Your feedback, as always, brought a huge smile to my face, and I am so glad I decided to be open and honest about how I was feeling with all of you. I am practically bouncing from heel […]
My First Rejection Letter
“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it…Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” ~ Mark Jenkins Source It was bound to happen sooner rather than later. Thank you so much […]
