Me and the outdoors… it’s complicated. I love getting outside in Spring and early Summer. I love digging in the dirt, I love feeling the breeze on my face, smelling the plants, feeling sun on my face. But nature, it does not like me. I’ve developed increasingly bad allergies, and now those tie into READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | IF I WON THE LOTTERY…
Oh, man. This is such an open-ended prompt, because who couldn’t sit here all day spinning fantasies of the things they would do if they won the lottery? My fantasies have shifted since my medical issues have worsened – at the moment my #1 thing would be to move to a house with no READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS COVER
I absolutely choose books based on all sorts of things that aren’t the reviews or the description. Covers, titles, aesthetic, topic, the interest of someone whose opinions I trust, an association with someone I care about… all kinds of things influence my decision to pick up a book. Here are some I add based READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | TV SHOWS I BINGED
I am big on TV, especially right now, for obvious reasons. I do like a good binge, and there are several shows I have binged in the past, or would binge if I could stop myself watching the episodes right away! Here are some of my more recent picks (or re-watches): Dear White People READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY LAST MEAL
I’m not a huge foodie. Mostly because I’m vegetarian, and there are very few big deal meals that don’t feature some kind of dead animal.

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY THEME SONG
I love music. I have spent a lot of my life with certain songs on repeat, and I’ll almost always have a few songs I’ve recently discovered (though they may not be new songs) that I’m obsessed with. So if the prompt were some songs you’re really into right now I’d be totally set. READ MORE

Blankets There is really nothing better than curling up under a soft, fuzzy, warm blanket to read your book. We need READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST WEAKNESS
Hmmm. Well I feel like I kind of touched on this in last week’s post, and mentioned how much I dislike this question in job interviews! I don’t like it much better here, but I’ll give it a go. I have a lot of flaws, like anyone. I can have a quick temper (though READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST STRENGTH
This prompt is like in job interviews when they ask you your biggest flaw and you have to come up with something that sounds legit, but isn’t bad enough that they wouldn’t want to hire you, and if possible, can also be twisted to be a good thing. (I suspect pretty much everyone says READ MORE
WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | HOW I TAKE CARE OF MY HEALTH
Well this is a doozy of a first prompt for me to hop on board with, huh? It feels like health is not something anyone is really aiming for at the moment, because we’re all consumed with just getting through this. Many of us are doing so by upping our consumption of pizza/Netflix/alcohol/chocolate/other random READ MORE
