I think this is the end of DragonCon for us. This year was TERRIBLE.

We got Saturday passes only, since we just wanted to shop and get a couple of autographs.

it’s September. I’ve seen others mention the creep of summer far into the months that used to be fall and I agree. It doesn’t cool down here until mid-October. Bleh.

So my pressed penny collection is pretty old. I’ve been collecting for decades. My first one is from the 50s I think, it was my mother’s. It is dead center and has the Serenity Prayer on it [I've always thought it was the Lord's Prayer! JUST NOW realised it's the Serenity Prayer ( Read more... )

Amanda’s TED talk hit VERY close to home for me. She, as usual, discusses a topic that I and many others have issues with: asking for help. If you’ve not seen her TED talk yet, you need to take 15 minutes and watch that before you go any further into my post:
