Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: 3D
This year for Christmas, a couple of dear friends gifted me something that I never would have thought to get for myself – and I love that it shows how well they know me. (Thanks Cody and Jim!!! ❤) If you are new here and didn’t already know, I have a love of the storyContinue reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: 3D”
Winter Dance Party
Last night, I attended a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Big Bopper at the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay, WI. This was not an event that would have probably caught my attention, despite my love for all things live music. But when my bestie asked if I’d want to go along with herContinue reading “Winter Dance Party”
The Surprisingly-Ongoing Saga of Eric
Eleven years ago, I got a new phone number. And for the first time, I truly understood what Ellis was singing about in her song GeorgeAnne. Now, if you’ve never had the pleasure of attending an Ellis gig – you need to if you ever get the chance. Especially if you love stories.

He’s Here. He’s There. He was in Chicago.
When I first heard about Ted Lasso, I had no interest in watching it because I don’t really have an interest in soccer (a.k.a. football).

He was in Chicago.”

My mother gave it to me read when I was eleven years old because itContinue reading “Books to Be Buried With, Part Two”
Books to Be Buried With, Part One
Previously, I’ve answered the questions Brett Goldstein poses on his podcast Films to Be Buried With. First, I kept to the premise – movies. Then I answered the questions about TV shows. This time, my answers will all be books. What was the first-ever book you read? — I don’t know the answer for sure,Continue reading “Books to Be Buried With, Part One”
The Bookworm Pills
The image below came through my Instagram feed recently, and it caught my attention as a fun writing/reading question. Often, my writing buddy and I talk about our characters as though they are living, breathing people – when you put so much time and energy into something, someone, it’s hard to think of them asContinue reading “The Bookworm Pills”
My Life with Donald Duck
When I was a toddler, my parents found a stuffed Donald Duck toy at a garage sale for twenty-five cents. I don’t know the details of the story – if I found it and begged for it, or if they just thought I’d like it. Regardless, it would become my favorite of all my toys.Continue reading “My Life with Donald Duck”
