I usually wait until the month is officially over before posting about my reads, but with remote learning taking up a ton of time, I think it’s highly unlikely that I’ll finish another book before the end of the day. If nothing else, quarantining has allowed me to really catch up on my reading, even if some of those books were insanely easy reads! The books are many, so let’s jump right in. The Starless Sea, by Erin Morganstern I […]

Quarantine does weird things to a person, like make them want to reread the entire Baby Sitters Club series, despite the fact that they are almost forty and well over the reading level required to read the books! However, for me they were a big part of my childhood and therefore are providing a sense of comfort and nostalgia in this strange, strange time. And so I am going to reread them, and snark on them and relive my childhood! […]

I mean, you know it all anyway already, and there’s no use in me rehashing facts and figures. Personally, I can only read the news once per day to stay informed, and then I […]

Now that I finally have time to sew for myself again, I’ve started with abandon.

My first make was one I started back in January, when I made my resolution to sew at least ten minutes a day. This was a resolution that I kept up with, although not everyday. Even so, because […]

Keeping up with my reading last month was a bit of a challenge. The first two weeks of the month were devoted to Frozen, Jr. and then recovering from Frozen, Jr. I was so tired, I swear I went to work, came home, went to bed and then repeated it all the next day! Thankfully, our two weeks of show insanity was followed by a week off, which gave me the opportunity to catch up on my life a bit. […]

Last Friday, I headed into the city with some friends and co-workers to see Come From Away on Broadway. Overall I liked the show. Usually the structure and style of this type of musical is not my thing (I’m all for the big spectacle shows) but Come From Away was an exception to that rule. It helped that it was based on a true story, which always peaks my interest because I like to read about the facts vs. fiction […]
