Sharing some blog love

For the next two weeks, the SITS ladies are having a Spring Fling to help blog journalists like myself become better with design and networking. I signed up last week for this Fling. Unfortunately, I neglected to check my email yesterday, so the event started already and I’m playing catch-up. First I caught up by [...]

Houston means that I’m one day closer to baseball

Okay, yes the header is a weird play on a song, but it means it’s time to talk Houston Astros, no matter how much of a disappointment it can be when they lose. Maybe it will be better to move to the American League (still don’t relish that move). Anyway… The new list of Twitter [...]

Sometimes, one doesn’t know what to say, so one says… Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!!!! I <3 Spotify.

Swag Monday!

It may have been quite a rainy day for me, but I had a special reason to get out today: to pick up some snail mail gifts sent to me! Yeah, baby …I —heart— presents!! A little while ago, I joined PairUp! to help fight against kidney disease, and in return, the American Kidney Fund [...]

for the love of delicious fruit!

Going through the dashboard for my blog this week led me to discover some neat factoids. It had me so excited that I started taking screenshots to keep and show the moments. First superimposed 2 happenings into a single screenshot for double the fun. I found out I have 153 followers (good for my little [...]

Versus – twiharding my hunger

In this episode of Versus, we compare Twilight and The Hunger Games series. Yeah, I know, no contest some say….let’s do it, anyway. Twilight (Vs.) The Hunger Games 1. Fluff writing (dreamy stuff, in Bella’s head a good portion of the time); simplicity that allows one to finish the very long books quickly, depending on [...]

The PearLady presents her weekend report

In the spirit of Zazu from The Lion King [cue music: “The Morning Report” from the above movie title] What I accomplished this week: I found another great site, namely the Christian Bookshelf Reviews, which led me to even more book challenges (God help me – LOL). It also led me to post here again [...]

Book Challenges in 2012

It’s the third day into the new year and I’m finally getting around to updating my book lists. I finished updating my 2011 list and made my list for 2012 with some new challenges! I’ve also updated my bookshelves page to show the changes. Whew. I think it’s time for a drink and a game [...]

A birthday on the world wide web

My blogging friend Jenny has a birthday today She’s hocking silly stuff in her shop, hooray She cusses on her blog and people comment back with praise What in Heaven is this world coming to these days?! I’m not really upset at the sentence above, I tease and I write purely with sisterly love. ~~ [...]

Judging books by their covers

What could bring me back to blogging? Why, to talk about books, of course! Yeah, I know, I’m a bookworm that would like nothing better than to crawl into a good book sometimes. But, with so many books out there, how do you find the one to read? At times, I’ve had to pick and [...]
