I went to Borders yesterday to use a coupon. I love bookstores. In fact, I could spend days in a bookstore. I love the way they smell, the sounds, the fact that I’m surrounded by so much more than just, me. Anyway, I digress. I walked into Borders and on the very first table (yeah, I’m one of those people that stop at each table and peruse the “recommended readings” and wonder to myself if they really are all they’re cracked up to be) is a book that’s entire cover is filled with text. Intrigued, I picked it up and read the cover.

It’s actually fitting that this is my 100th post on my beloved blog (for all of you who are still here reading, thank you!). Today, something very interesting happened in my side of the blogosphere. The lovely Miss Lizzy Marie of It’s Unbeweavable won the 20 Something Bloggers’ Featured blogger of the month. This is incredible and I do not know of anyone more deserving of this honor.
However, amidst Liz’s undeniable excitement, a certain someone deemed it appropriate to rain on her day. I’m not going to go into details of how he did this, but let me just say, it hurt me in a deep way to see someone so quick to judge one of the most amazing people I have ever known.

This year, I spent the week of Christmas nestled between the lush mountains and the warm Caribbean waters, in Jamaica. It’s hard for me to even put into words how incredible the trip was, but I’ll try.

Oh man, I know I’m not alone when I say that I love good food. It all started when I was very little. I have been spoiled with good food my whole life. In fact, I think it was on my 5th Birthday that my grandpa and grandma took me to Strings for my Birthday dinner. I...

Every year at this time, I always take a step back from my hectic, crazy life and think about all of the things that I am thankful for. I’m sure I’m not the only one who does this, but it’s almost therapeutic for me. I get to focus on all of the positive things in my...

Wowzers. It’s been one hell of a week. I don’t think I’ve ever been so inclined to say TGIF. But, hey, that’s why they came up with that acronym, right? For me! This week has been a week of self-discovery. I apparently and inadvertently took a step back from my...

At one point or another, we’ve all been asked, “if you could have one superpower, what would it be?” I’ve given this some thought. I did a trusty little google search of all the “possible” superpowers in the world, and came up with this list (top 10 since there were...
