Happy Wednesday! Thank you for all the birthday wishes. It was a very chill day.

Welcome back! For all my friends in the Northeast, how did you fare with the blizzard? We lost power briefly overnight and had to do two shoveling passes. Of course, it’s now a sunny, cloudless day and all the snow looks so fluffy and pristine. I love seeing all the animal tracks that have shown up in the night. I keep nudging my partner for a wildlife cam. Also, if you’re in the Boston area, … Continue reading Links: Adaptations, Data, & More→

Welcome back, everyone! Can you believe February is almost over? This month has been so busy for me and I would like a break so I can sleep for a week straight. Please and thank you.

I’m tempted, but I also feel like I’d be too in my head … Continue reading Links: Pokemon, Tabletop Games, & More→
Welcome back! Did I mention last week that I have the flu? We’re about ten days in and I’m just starting to feel like a human again.

Get your seasonal shots, if you’re able! Has anyone else been laid low with sickness already in … Continue reading Links: Julia Quinn, Holiday Recipes, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! How are we all this Wednesday? Have we worked through the leftovers? We had 4lbs of mashed potatoes. We finally made the executive decision to freeze some.

Welcome back! How are we doing? I’m exhausted. It’s one of the weeks that has a lot in terms of work, social responsibilities, and holiday errands.

Welcome back, everyone! It’s the middle of the week, which means now we get to start thinking about Friday. Let’s be honest, though, there are some weeks when I start thinking about Friday on Sunday evening. I’m already seeing Christmas stuff despite Halloween still being two weeks away. I know there’s the recurring joke that Christmas decor is getting put out earlier and earlier and I think that’s pretty accurate. This year, I’m pretty meh … Continue reading Links: Romance Coverage, Adaptation News, & More→
Happy Wednesday! (Is it Wednesday?) I have a vacation coming up in three weeks, but before that, I have to get through so many deadlines and things. Woof. I can’t tell if working toward a vacay makes me more motivated or just makes all the deadlines more annoying. The Thursday Murder Club adaptation comes out this week. My friend and I are doing a buddy watch over the weekend. I asked her what she wanted me … Continue reading Links: Censorship, a Subway for Cats, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! For me, February and August are some of the longest months…and I mean that psychologically. Time crawls at a snail’s pace and soon I will have to say goodbye to my blissful summer office schedule. We also have a little over a month left in SBTB Bingo and as someone participating, wow. I sure did a tricky job with these squares. You all have my sympathies! Sarah and I have … Continue reading Links: Data, Walks, & More→
Welcome back! (WingedNike, if you’re reading this, it’s officially Wednesday and you haven’t missed the post!) Life is life-ing. However, I’m grateful for reconnecting with friends lately.
