Here on this little blog, I share all manner of bookish things, including full content reviews, writerly snippets, encouragement for everyday life, and a whole collection of names & their meanings.

Encouragement

"Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon."

Hello, all!  
No A+A post today--my apologies--but I've decided to take them every round-about Friday, simply meaning every two weeks.  Hope you're not too disappointed. . . *winks*
So, the purpose of this post is to update you.  Briefly.  Again.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. That seems to be all I…

"He never knew when he was whipped. . . So he never was."

This has been such a lazy day.  And rainy-cold as well!  AGH. I am so ready for Spring.  I suppose the gloom is a good explanation for the laziness. *edited*
Because of that I have hereby decided to throw in a random, motivational, writing post today.  :]  And upon thinking of this "motivatio…

Sweet Dreams

Well, I hope you are not too disappointed.  You should know by now that blogging isn't exactly top priority around here.  I enjoy it immensely, but other things come first and life and books like to butt in.  :]
So this little note is to say that my A + A post for today is still in the drafts.…

Lawfullness, Hip Bones, and Palabras

Words, words.  I love words.  Written words, mind you.  I'm not much of a speaker.  ;D  Some words are so fantastically awesome.  Have you heard of any of these?

Coming Soon. . .

Why, hello, loverlies!  So good to have you back.  :]  Happy Sunday!

I do hope you are having a lovely day.  Is anyone ready for Fall? Scarves, boots, and glorious autumn weather? And yet this saddens you, because that means the year is nearly over? and Christmas is around the corner?  WHAT?

No, …

Oh, My Friends. . .

Bless you for faithfully following this little blog!  It seems like I'm always apologizing for my inactivity. . . *le sigh* But I am still experiencing computer problems.  So, with that whole mess and life, this next week with be wholly inactiv-er.  O_o  Hmm. Not a real word, I know.  Basicall…

A + A Friday!

Heheh. . . No A + A this week.

Sorry, guys.

And I'll spare you from the excuses.  :]

Here's a random bit o' fun to make up for your time:


Haha!  I did say random.

Have a great weekend!

Fairfarren.

"Getting to Knoooooow [Meeee!]"

Fellow blogger, Lauriloth, from Musings of an Elf, posted about a 20 Random Facts About Me tag, created by Belle of In My Life.  I've always enjoyed learning more about the characters and personalities of my bloggin' buddies, and this tag is perfect!  Though she didn't actually "t…

A Hurried Halloo!

Quick update!
I apologize for the lack of activity.  Hay Season has officially arrived!  Due to the hours spent in the fields (mowing, tedding, raking), and preparation for the upcoming week of VBS, I have had no time to prepare a post.  There is a possibility it will only get crazier in the days …

God Answers Prayers - A Musical Tag

Oh my.  I saw this post from my new friend, Lauri, and just had to do it!  It is a musical tag, and as she said, that's been floating around the blogging world in all its randomness.  I wasn't officially tagged by anyone, but it sounded like way too much fun to ignore.
So, here we are!  Hope…

For the Sake of Updating...

Yes.  For the sake of updating, I decided to do a random post... (another?!?)  You know, just to give you an idea of what's been going on 'round here.

Life at the house has been a little languid the past few days.  Spring-time sickness has come around and I have just now got over it.  Thank…

Wind in the Willows

I thought I'd try this out, just for the sake of updating my post and maybe even for the fun of it.  =D
Also, I kind of felt sorry for the hostess.  This is for you, Storyteller!
