My trip to Iceland was nearly six months ago at this point, and I have done precious little to blog about the experience.  This was partially because, directly from Iceland I went straight to Vermont to spend some time with the family and partially because this blog just wasn’t that much of a priority in 2016.  This is something I hope to rectify as we start 2017, by creating some more interesting content, or at least something a little more […]

Our short and sweet trip to Florida culminated with a trip to Epcot on the third full day. You should know before I begin that I LOVE Epcot! A lot of people are bored by it, but I love visiting the Fake Countries and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that most of it seems to be stuck in the sixties or seventies, decor-wise. I hope it never changes. With that said, let’s start off with the quintessential picture of the ball […]

The alarm went off at 6:45 a.m. on day two of our Florida Adventure. Somehow, this was still not the problem it is when the alarm goes off and I have to go to work. I willingly got up and jumped in the shower, ready to take on Universal Studios and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Armed with coffee and a quick breakfast of protein bars, we headed to the front of the hotel to wait for the shuttle. […]

Last week, I had the pleasure of heading to Orlando, Florida during my Spring Break from work. This trip was a long time in coming, planned by myself and my friend Sarah as a way to escape the frustrations of real life and work. It all started with a random idea on my part, upon reading an article about the new Diagon Alley section of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. Many years ago, I went to […]

If this blog was my day job, I would’ve been fired a long time ago.  I have, for the most part, completely ignored it’s existence for the last couple of months largely due to my ACTUAL day job taking up a lot of my time. But that’s it for excuses.  Time to try and make posting something that happens a little more regularly around here.  I’ve got a lot of things happening, and I really want to share more about […]

1. All the Beautiful Brides, by Rita Herron I have no idea how I found this book, though I imagine it was likely recommended to me on Amazon or something because of all the crime thrillers I read. This one was not one of the better ones – it was like part-crime novel with a weird romance novel subplot thrown in there for good measure. It tells the story of Cal and Mona, essentially, two friends who would’ve been a […]

This month, between work and travel and projects, I managed a whole two books! 1. The Good Neighbor, by A. J. Banner Kudos, A.J. Banner.  I had no idea what direction you were going in with this book.  I figured out a few lesser details but the main mystery remained a mystery until the very end.  It was a decent enough mystery – enough interest in the storyline to keep me reading, but I felt the ending to be a […]

Aside from the 2015 Reading Challenge, I’m going to start combining my book posts into one large post, done at the end of the month. This will reduce the need to post all the time, and also avoid the problem of my only wanting to say a few short things about any specific book I’ve read. It also allows me to update throughout the month and post on the last day. 1. Still Waters, by Viveca Sten I love a […]
