I guess if I had to pick one non~fiction book that had the most profound affect on me it would have to be The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley and Malcolm X. The first time I read it I think I was about 13 or 14 years old and I just remember being [...]
I love makeup. Specifically, I love Bare Escentuals makeup because it gives me a flawless face with natural coverage. And don’t get me started on the glosses (my fave is a Buxom called “Dani” ~ a purply pink)… Moving on, ’cause this isn’t a post about Bare Escentuals, but if you’ve never given it a [...]
Hmmmm….. I’m not really certain what I’m supposed to write about here. This is such a broad topic. Should I write about a fictional book that I hated or loved? One that was life changing for me? A book that I could have gone my whole life without reading? *sound of book pages blowing in [...]
Ha! This is an easy one. I’m hyper~organized. I used to be in the Army and one of the first things they drilled into my head was organization ~ socks, tees, undies, they all had to be folded/rolled up so they were the same length as a dollar bill. I remember taping my things to [...]

Sitting at the Reference Desk waiting… I’m not waiting on anything in particular, most of the students have gone home for Thanksgiving break so time is passing by so slowly. Later tonight, after the rest of the students have left, I’ll probably finish this book that I’ve downloaded to the Nook app on my computer. [...]
I don’t know what happened but I caught something that totally kicked my butt. Giving my kids and these college students the side~eye ’cause I know whatever funky little virus I picked up had to have come from these walking talking petri dishes. Thursday evening, I left work and I felt fine. Friday morning I [...]
