Briefly | I took a quick trip down to the Twin Cities with a friend so I could get a long list of London/Greece trip related items finished/purchased — 21 days to go! It was nice to just spend a day away, since now I still have , and still a full Sunday to catch up on [...]

Time and Place | About 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 8, my 29th birthday! Eating and Drinking | We’re getting Dairy Queen for a birthday treat at work today. Confetti Cake Blizzard, get in my belly. Reading | Since I last managed to blog I’ve finished three books: The Lost Landscape by Joyce Carol Oates (collected essays on her childhood in [...]
Time and Place | About 9 a.m. on my couch. Reading | I had a very slow reading week. I’m in this mode where I want to READ ALL THE THINGS which inevitably causes me to not read anything at all. I’ve been slowing making my way through three books this week, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, The Lost [...]
Time and Place | Just before 9 a.m. in my favorite chair. Eating and Drinking | Green tea, coconut yogurt with almonds and dark chocolate, raspberries and blueberries. Yum. Reading | Since I last updated, I’ve finished several books: The Royal We by Heather Cox and Jessica Morgan (basically William and Kate fan fiction — absolutely perfect lakeside reading), The [...]
Time and Place | About 7:45 a.m. on, you guessed it, my couch. Eating and Drinking | The boyfriend ordered some Pom-berry Black Tea that I’m trying out for the first time. It supposed to be a high caffeine blend, which I will need today since I haven’t managed to sleep in at all this weekend. Reading | I [...]
Time and Place | About 9:45 on my couch. This is one of my happy places. Reading | It felt like a relatively quiet reading week, although I guess I did finish a couple books since last Sunday — Thank You for Your Service by David Finkel and Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid. Northanger Abbey is part of The Austen [...]
Time and Place | About 8:30 a.m. on my couch in the living room. Eating and Drinking | Our tea stash has gotten a bit out of control, so I’m trying to make an effort to “drink down” the stuff we’ve had longest. My best rediscover is a cocoa chai from Good Earth. It smells amazing. Reading | [...]
Briefly | I was going to get this post up yesterday afternoon, once the boyfriend and I got back from a quick trip to the Twin Cities. But we arrived home to standing water in our basement followed shortly by a wind advisory and a power outage. It was not the most relaxing way to end the [...]
Briefly | Life got the better of me this week, so I decided to take an impromptu spring break from blogging. It was kind of awesome. I’m not sure that I’m entirely recovered from the last few stressful weeks, but today is my seventh blogiversary and I couldn’t let that go by without a little celebration. [...]
Time and Place | About 9 a.m. on my favorite chair in the living room. Eating and Drinking | We had our first “official” dinner on the deck on Friday night — steak, potatoes, broccoli and new summer cider. Hooray for beautiful weather. Reading | I went totally off plan this week thanks to the arrival of an ARC [...]
