  Happy Sunday! As the summer starts to wind down...yes, I said it...I find that I'm dreading my departure from this beautiful island, but excited for the next 4-5 months. I love the second half of the year, and know that there is a lot to look forwa...

  I've never done an author highlight before, but thought it would be a great new addition to my blog. I should start off by mentioning that I don't generally go after authors, as I'm much too star struck and amazed at their talents to bother them (si...

  I'm loving the Portland Airport, with its free WiFi! I haven't been connected in a couple of days (other than my beloved Blackberry), and it has really driven me crazy. Yes, I sense an addiction here. Anyway, I am on my way to Hawaii for the summer...
