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

What have I been up to in October?

I finally began to feel productive again over the past couple of weeks. First and foremost, I've gotten some good writing time in as I try to work out this kink in my third act.

I ended up sick early on, so after a lot of time spent resting and figuring out how to breathe more easily, this past week was about trying to play catch up and reset. I managed to mostly recover by my birthday, at least, … Continue reading Odds & Ends 2/10-2/23

It's Superbowl Sunday! As a Missouri girl, I'm rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, but I'm kind of "meh" when it comes to actually watching football, so I am cheering for them and eating my Superbowl foods while watching Howard's End and Sanditon on PBS. I did get some good writing done this week, as well as a little reading, … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/27-2/2

The name of the game this week was productivity. It's a new year and I wanted to hit the ground running, and I think I did alright. I got in and cleaned my apartment now that all the holiday festivities are over and my Christmas decorations are put away, I did some grocery shopping, re-organized … Continue reading Odds & Ends 1/6-1/12

It's December 1st and I am almost ready for Christmas! I've been gradually getting my decorations out the past week or so, and after a happy Thanksgiving spent with family, I got the job finished. I also managed to get the last of my Christmas shopping taken care of today (though nothing is wrapped yet) … Continue reading Odds & Ends 11/24-12/01
