Another whirlwind couple of weeks included the last of my Christmas ordering (I have one or two more items left to buy in person), my niece taking tentative steps on her own, wrestling with a photo-editing program, cracking up at my extended family attempting to play virtual reality games, a delicious Thanksgiving, some very light … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/15-11/28
Odds & Ends 11/1-11/14
The past couple of months have been busy, but I've had a chance to catch a few things lately, so I thought I'd do a quick round-up in case anyone is looking for something different to watch. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - A new entry to the MCU introduces a new … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/1-11/14

Fall is officially here and, while I'm going to miss luxuriating in the long summer days, I'm excited for what's to come. My apartment is de-cluttered and my pumpkin decor is out, I've got a slight jump on my Christmas shopping, lots of upcoming Marvel shows & movies to stream, and a pretty solid plan … Continue reading Odds & Ends 9/20-10/3
5 Year Blogiversary!
I've made it to year five on the blog!
Odds & Ends 7/26-8/08
I am officially on vacation! I am very much looking forward to several days of reading, sleeping in (because I stayed up too late reading), writing, and treating myself. I was so pumped to maximize this time to myself that I actually spent the past week deep cleaning my apartment in preparation, so there are … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/26-8/08
Odds & Ends 6/28-7/11
The past couple of weeks have seen things quiet down somewhat for me. I had a friend interested in revisiting a series I'd had her beta-read for me a couple years ago, which is always encouraging, so I spent a few days speed-reading my drafts to make sure I was sending her the most up-to-date … Continue reading Odds & Ends 6/28-7/11

I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post! This summer is already keeping me busier then I expected. There's been a lot of time spent on the road to my parents' and to my brother & sister-in-law's (my niece's adorableness requires regular observation), more world-building research, and I managed to catch … Continue reading Odds & Ends 5/17-6/13
Odds & Ends 5/3-5/16
Another two weeks gone by in a blur! But in spite of how quickly it seemed to pass, I did manage to get a few things done. I finally got my hands on my new bed frame, and I put it together ALL BY MYSELF! And even better news, in the week since, it has … Continue reading Odds & Ends 5/3-5/16
Odds & Ends 4/19-5/2
The past two weeks have found me alternating between spring cleaning, binge-watching, and letting my world-building get out of hand, capped off with my first dose of the COVID vaccine this morning! I would say the binge-watching was more successful than the spring cleaning as I managed to enjoy the entire season of Shadow and Bone … Continue reading Odds & Ends 4/19-5/2

Happy Easter everybody! I got to spend my holiday with my family, competing with my mom over whose turn it was to hold my niece. Loser still got to hold a puppy, so it still wasn't so bad. Spring was finally in the air this week, which would have been enough to brighten my days … Continue reading Odds & Ends 3/22-4/04

While many may be tuning in to the Super Bowl tonight, I'll be enjoying All Creatures Great and Small on PBS. If you're looking for a gentle, feel-good escape from reality, I highly recommend checking out this series, set in 1930s Yorkshire and centered around new veterinarian James Herriot. Another show you need to be watching, … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/25-2/7

Well, the weekend is over and the holiday season is officially underway! After a small Thanksgiving with my immediate family, I now have a fridge full of leftovers to live off of, so cooking is one less thing to worry about for a while. I still have a couple last-minute gifts to check off my … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/16-11/29
