I've been working on a long post for three days.  I might even need to split it... I know, I'm a nerd who enjoys doing research too much. Hopefully I'll have this/these posts up soon!

This book is a middle-grade fantasy story by Sage Blackwood.  This means it's really written for 11-13/14 year olds, but I would actually put it at a pretty solid 4/5 for adults too.  It was enjoyable, if not the most "mature content." It's approach to relationships is perfect for a budding teenager and I found… Continue reading Review: Jinx (trilogy) →

As I sit in bed Tuesday night, the news is already declaring Karen Handel winning Georgia's 6th district - a study in money in politics and the insanity of the current electoral process. She didn't win by much, for a district that is historically much above the national average.... it was a loss for the… Continue reading Politics: Georgia’s 6th →

I'm in San Diego! This weather is amazing!  And my hotel... Sweet!

I was in middle school when my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I only vaguely remember the night she called my parents from the Home Depot (about 3-4 miles from HER house) and admitted she was lost. Grandma didn't know how to get home from there and she needed my parents to come rescue… Continue reading Life Memories: My namesake →

"Well, I want to be a novelist." "No, you need to quit this job and go be a writer!" I… Continue reading Short Post: Happy Comment →

Julie Kagawa's Series The Iron Fey is a very fun read. I think she did an excellent job of capturing what I feel like is "classical fey" - these are not Tinkerbell-friendly-fairies. These are the fairies that turn unsuspecting humans into donkeys, let them sleep for a hundred years, kidnap them and turn them into rosebushes... tricksters… Continue reading Review: (Series) The Iron Fey →

My car will be 10 years old this year (in like June).  I have no bumper stickers on it (bumper magnet, yes).  I am thinking I might be ready to change this.  So I am thinking of what I want, and there are a few ideas I'd love feedback on: I really want to find some… Continue reading Humor: Bumperstickers →

Here is how I explain different political theories: Democracy: (Otherwise known as Democrazy) Everyone gotta know everything. Every bill. Every law. Every budget gets voted on by every body. No body does nothin' 'cause nobody got time. Marxism/Communism (socialism's extremism): (What the dude wrote, not what the other dude did) Let's not have a "government"… Continue reading Politics: My Snarky explanation of political theories →

I really wanted to get a post up this week on a specific topic - but I'm researching and with the past few weeks real-life-work has been in the way (my husband can attest... seriously awesomely insane). So this is just a post to tell you that I am working on post! But I am trying… Continue reading Post Delayed →
