celebration of chick lit tour

I’ve been a very bad blogger. Someone should spank me—please? JUST KIDDING!

how I spent my weekend

This post will be heavy on pictures and light on text because, gosh darn it, I have a cold. It’s almost May, but Mother Nature had to throw one last winter cold at me with her crazy change of weather. Boo! Until Friday night, my ancient television set belied my love of watching television. I…
