Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share “ten things I’m thankful for” in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US. I’m not going to lie. I’ve got a bad case of covid restriction fatigue at the moment. I just want to be able to explore when and where I want Continue Reading…
Soooo…. Hi? IntrovertedJen here. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Almost four years to be exact. I can’t believe it! I blogged as The Introverted Reader from 2009 – 2016 but I lost that domain in 2017. That’s a long story about a lack of communication on my hosting company’s part and my own oversight, Continue Reading…
I’ve struggled with whether to write this post. If you’ve been around long, I’m sure you’ve noticed I don’t write many personal things. I’m a private person. The few I have written have been fun little stories, nothing serious at all. But I feel this needs to be shared, just in case it helps anyone. Continue Reading…
Suey at It’s All About Books asked for a vacation report. Since she and a few more of you were kind enough to suggest alternates when the government shutdown threatened to shutdown my National Park Vacation as well, I owe you all an update. Note: I didn’t share any of our pictures, I just linked Continue Reading…
So, with impeccable timing, my husband and I are going on vacation in about a week. To the National Parks of the Southwest. A few of them anyway. Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. Do you see where this is going already? Yup. The government shutdown. I am generally an optimistic person, but I’m also Continue Reading…
I promise I have not fallen off the face of the earth, although you wouldn’t know it from the look of things around here. My last post was on October 9, so let me think about what I’ve done since then… That was my wedding anniversary (8 years!), so I was out that night. I Continue Reading…
I met a couple of friends for an un-birthday trip to The Cheesecake Factory a few weeks ago. Yes, I live two hours away from the closest one. So, yes, I traveled two hours for cheesecake. Sometimes, you just need a good cheesecake. Anyway, on the way back to my car, the friend who was Continue Reading…
Holy cow. It has been three weeks since I last posted. Three weeks! Where does the time go? I’ve been desperately juggling a lot of things for a while now and I just finally hit critical capacity. My blog had to go neglected. I accepted a new position at work as a “Clinical Research Coordinator.” Continue Reading…
I don’t know about you, but having the 4th of July fall on Wednesday this year threw me all out of whack. Work two days, a day off then work another two days and have another two days off… It kind of didn’t work for me. It was nice to have Wednesday off but then Continue Reading…
It’s hot here in the mountains of North Carolina, folks. Hot like we only see a handful of days in the year, thank goodness. We’ve been on the wrong side of 100 degrees for a couple of days now and I think we’re all feeling it. I know that’s normal for some of you, so Continue Reading…
Book Expo America is taking place this week in New York, so you know what that means for us bloggers left at home–it’s Armchair BEA time! We’re kicking the week off with “interviews.” Each blogger is choosing from a list of ten questions and posting the answers on his or her own blog. If you want to read more about your […]
