Before Midnight: I was so excited to learn that another Linklater movie was going to come out this summer… and it did not disappoint!

Tequila Mockingbird
I found the best gift book for book loving people who also love a cocktail! At this point, I can’t remember where I first heard about it – I’m sure one of the bookish newsletters that comes to my inbox weekly – but I know that I bought my first copy (and second copy) … Continue reading »
I Couldn’t Resist Temptation…
I joined Audible.com today! The last audiobook I reserved at the library turned out to be 30 hours long with 30 discs and a 2 week check-out time. I brought it back without opening it, as I didn’t want to import all the discs and I knew I wouldn’t have time to get it … Continue reading »

Forgot something!

I went out with work colleagues for a late dinner, watched a niece play volleyball, drank coffee in the sunshine (a rare and welcome sight!), shopped and bought TWO pairs of shoes, got a pedicure, cuddled on my couch with my nephew and watched “Wreck … Continue reading »

Ah, a day off with little sleep. Hopefully tonight I will sleep soundly, waking refreshed for a long work day! But here’s what’s making me happy: Getting through overnights at work is always good… another month until it happens again! I finished “Gone with the Wind” last night! Woot! It was a great book, … Continue reading »
