Today I went to Barnes and Noble to pick up a book called Eat, Pray, Love for my NEPA Chick Lit Book Group (there will be a review when I’m finished reading it, which proves Nolie’s point that every experience can lead to a post). And while I was there, […]

I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been so bleh for the last few days and it just occurred to me that it was a year ago this week that I walked away from everything that meant something to me. Well, maybe not everything, but at least everything when […]
Writing last night’s post made me realize that I really do need a blogging calendar, not just for setting up a blogging schedule but for regulating my social media time. Here’s a picture of my blogging/social media schedule. It’s subject to change as needed. I think I’ll probably start adding […]
When I started this blog, I didn’t realize the investment in time, thought and patience that it would require in order to make it successful (and by successful, I mean, read by more than just my immediate friends and family). Honestly, this started off as just a way for me […]
Ok, I know it looks like I’m stalking Lisa from It Keeps Getting Better but I’m not. Ok, I am but I’m harmless. Trust me. Honestly, I just thought it was hilarious that we are both Feria lovers. I used to use the guides on the box as a reference […]
I remember when I was in high school my English teacher used to try to get me to use that brain storm cloud thingy to come up with ideas for writing assignments and it just never worked for me. I preferred to sit with pen and paper (back then we […]
I found this writing analyzer on Lisa’s blog It Keeps Getting Better and decided to give it a try. The post I chose to have analyzed is called My Droid Hates Me and the Feeling May Be Mutual, it was written just after I traded in my BlackBerry Storm for […]
I don’t know why I didn’t think of setting up alerts before. Doh! I used to get them all the time when I was blogging about my life as Queen of the Histolibrarianivists. Speaking of which, I’m not certain why I stopped getting those alerts. Hmmmm…. I liked receiving alerts […]
Wow, I cannot believe I haven’t written a Weigh~In Wednesday post since 21 April. What’s even sadder is that I weigh about the same thing. At least I’m consistent, right? Nor have I gained, so that’s even better. I haz a Weigh~In Wednesday happy! Two days ago I downloaded the […]
Well, I’m already involved in several forums although I’m not the most active member. Sheesh, it’s hard enough for me to keep up with Twitter, Facebook and the comments on this blog as well as the reading of my favorite blogs, but I do my best. Here are the forums/communities […]
If you’ve read my About Me page, you know that I pride myself on “having the organizational skills of a mother and the domestic skills of a Stepford wife” but even I need to take a few shortcuts every now and then… I, like many women who came of age […]
I’ve found that interlinking posts probably benefits me more than it benefits my readers. You know, I go back through old posts and I’m like dang, did I really write that? That’s pretty good. Sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back, especially when others won’t or don’t do […]
