In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun to make  list of some of the random things I love in the world of pop culture.  (What?  You thought I would share with the world the things I love in my real life?  No way – people I know read this blog. ) … Read More Happy Valentine’s Day

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to watch more movies.  I absolutely love movies, but never seem to get around to watching all of the classic or even fun & cheesy movies out there.  I enjoy most genres equally and am just as happy watching a horror movie as a romance.  For sake of perspective, it… Read More January Movies

Catcher in the Rye As most of you probably know, JD Salinger passed away this week.  While he wrote many stories and a few novellas, I’m pretty sure Catcher in the Rye was his only novel.  It is certainly his most well-known and one of the most read, loved and controversial works in American literature.  So… Read More True Confessions

  Dear John Edwards: Thank you very much for washing out early in the 2008 Presidential election.  Otherwise, I’m afraid I might have wasted a vote on you and that would have made me very cranky.  You see, I firmly believe that our President should be able to count backwards from nine, and clearly you have… Read More Catching Up on My Correspondence

I found an agent interested in representing my book and we signed a contract. The agent (hereafter referred to… Read More Here we go again

For those of you who have been following my blog lately,  you’ve probably noticed that I’m a little obsessed with Merlin, Guinevere and all things Arthurian.  Seen the TV shows, read some books and even watched a few movies.  What I haven’t done (at least until last week) was ever seen the play or movie… Read More Camelot

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! Like most people, at the end of every year I reminisce about the year that was.  This is especially fun at the end of a decade.  It’s amazing to believe where we were a short decade ago.  Just think… on December 31, 1999: Bill Clinton was President of the United… Read More Tonight We’re Going to Party Like it’s 2009

There is never enough time in the day.  I always have 101 projects on my to-do list, but can never quite complete them all.  As the New Year approaches, I’ve committed to finding more time to spread among all the activities I want to participate in.  In order to find more time, I suppose I should try… Read More Finding Time

Since I’m still somewhat despondent since I broke up with/fired my literary agent, I thought I’d make a list of things to cheer me up. 1.  I am not Tiger Woods.  If I had to compare our weeks, I’m pretty sure I’d come out on top.  By far. 2.   I’m also not Amanda Knox.  Again,… Read More 10 Things to Cheer me Up

I finally broke up with him. I swore I would never be one of those girls who stayed with someone just because it was better than being on my own, but for months that’s exactly what I did. I tried to make it work. I confronted him a few months ago about his commitment issues… Read More Breaking Up is Hard to Do
