Currently, I’m sitting on my couch, looking at my partially-arranged living room, imagining how I’m going to arrange all of my books around the tv. Yesterday was our big move day, which went amazingly smoothly thanks to the generosity of family and friends. The house is still a disaster, but it’s quiet and cool and [...]

Time and Place // 9:50 a.m., for the last time at my desk in our current house. One week from today we’ll be in our new place! Eating and Drinking // Blueberry Greek yogurt and blood orange cinnamon black tea Reading // I spent most of this week reading How Star Wars Conquered the Universe by Chris Taylor (Sept. 30 from [...]
Briefly // The boyfriend and I are moving! We signed a lease on a new rental house last weekend and are gearing up to move into the new place on August 2. It’s quick, trust me, I know. I’m not sure what that is going to mean for the blog over the next month or so, [...]
Briefly // Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes on last week’s Currently post. I had a nice day off on Monday and a generally chill day on my actual birthday, Tuesday. Twenty eight is gearing up to be a good year. Time and Place // About 8:45 a.m. at my desk. This weekend is our [...]
Time and Place // About 9 a.m. at my desk at home. The company I work for gives employees an extra day off for their birthday each year. Mine is technically tomorrow, but I decided to take my vacation day so I can recover from vacation for the Fourth of July. I have an exciting [...]
Time and Place // 7:20 a.m. at my desk Drinking // Green tea (delicious, but perhaps not the caffeine content I need this morning) Reading // I spent a lot of time this week reading creative nonfiction submissions for a regional literary magazine. When I wasn’t doing that, I flipped between a couple of books: Hidden America [...]
Time and Place // 8:10 a.m. at my desk Eating and Drinking // Blood orange cranberry black tea and cherries (I love cherry season so much). I’m still thinking about the awesome dinner we had last night — steak, sweet corn, and two types of salad. Yum. Reading // After a slow reading week, I [...]
Time and Place // 7:45 a.m., back at my desk in Morris after another weekend with my family. My sister and I took my grandma to see The Little Mermaid on Saturday, which was so much fun. I need to see more live theater. Eating and Drinking // Greek yogurt and black tea, the breakfast of sophisticated [...]
Briefly // The boyfriend started a new, full time job at a manufacturing facility here in town, which means he’s up early in the morning and not working on nights and weekends anymore. It’s a transition for both of us, but I’m excited about it. Time and Place // 9:45 a.m. at my desk Eating [...]
Briefly // I got back to Minnesota from my amazing trip to New York City for Book Expo America last night at about 9:30 p.m. I spent the night at my parent’s house and will make the rest of the trek back home this afternoon. I’m planning a couple of different posts on BEA this [...]
