August 23, 2010

Can I just be real and to the point with you? Yes, I will even without your permission but I am southern and it is just polite to ask. mmm, hmm.

August 15, 2010

I always like to bring a little something-something to the friends I am rooming with at conferences. The are like sisters after all. I feel as though I already know most of them and we’ve bonded.

For the love of books…

August 13, 2010

I have read so many articles lately about the possibility of Barnes and Noble closing some of its stores and possibly selling itself. Yes, I have an alert set up for Barnes and Noble posts. What can I say? I love books. There is so much talk about electronic devices taking over as the leading [...]
