So, I’m not one of those people who got married, had a kid, or made a million dollars last year. And yes, there were some bad spots (like making the decision to euthanize my oldest cat). I worked, I wrote, and I let myself obsess with some pop culture amazingness. And I know I’m a little late to the game (I did say I would have this up last week, ( Read more... )

I actually thought this list would be a lot smaller. I'm kind of surprised. I had a few books on here for work, but for the most part, these were for fun. I included links for the reviews that are already up at Portrait, but not all of them have been posted yet. Any questions about them, just ask. It's almost all YA this year.

I don't really have anything interesting to report. But, I thought since I was on livejournal, attempting to catch up on my friends page, I'd write a quick note to anyone out there reading my ramblings.
I haven't really been doing anything exciting, just working, reading, watching some television. I've discovered (again) how much I love a good crime ( Read more... )

It's been exactly two weeks since my last entry, how about that? I thought, since it's Friday, a Five part update was in order.

One.
I made lemon flavored cupcakes this morning (from a mix, so it's kind of cheating) to take into work tomorrow. I work later today, but it's a short shift, and it's closing, so I thought it would be better to take them ( Read more... )

So, for Portrait (see my profile for a link if you aren't familiar), I currently write a How To column, which I had originally envisioned as a kind of advice column. But, when random topics come up that fit the How To theme, I use them, and they aren't always advice laden. For example, this month's is How To Get The Most Use Out Of Your Text Books ( Read more... )

I cannot even describe to you how drained I've been lately. All I want to do is sleep. Hence the lack of journal updates ( Read more... )

I apologize in advance. Because I'm going to get a bit preachy for this entry. I can't help it. Don't you have those topics that get under your skin, stick in your brain, and then they just keep popping up around you and you have to talk about them? Yes, this is one of those.
You see, for Portrait's October issue, we've devoted all (or really, most ( Read more... )

The February issue of Portrait is up, and I'd really appreciate it if you would stop by and take a look. We love to get comments on the issues, but lately, all we've been getting is complaints. So, please, if you stop by, and find something you like, let us know.(I'll even make it easy for you. This is the link to leave a comment: www. ( Read more... )

I haven't done this in a while, and no, this is not my plea for any of you out there in cyberspace to read my articles. I just like to have a handy list of the links for my own use, and since this is my livejournal, why not do it here? Haha.

I don't think I updated the last time I had reviews go up at Portrait. Huh. Oh, well. I'll list them all this time with the new ones.
