Okay. Okay. I know. This isn’t exactly my classiest post (or my longest), but I couldn’t help myself. I saw Magic Mike in theatres, and it’s the perfect Girls-Night-Out (Or Girls-Night-In with wine and chocolate) movie! Today Magic Mike was released on DVD, and of course it is an adult movie (Rated R), and it’s… Continue reading Movie Mention: Magic Mike
Website Wonders: PostSecret
Since you’re on the World Wide Web right now, I think it’s safe to assume that you spend some (if not A LOT) of your downtime on the internet. (I know I do.) I always like suggestions of great websites to visit, whether it’s socializing, reading, inspiration, or learning in general. Because it’s Sunday, I’d… Continue reading Website Wonders: PostSecret
Shannon Summary: How Do I Write?
Okay, so a week back, fellow blogger, WineCountryMom, suggested that I answer some questions about writing as she had done (which I thought was REALLY informing and interesting from one writer to another). So here’s my “How Do I Write?” interview: How long do you spend writing each day? How long I spend on writing… Continue reading Shannon Summary: How Do I Write?
Relax & Read: History of a Suicide: My Sister’s Unfinished Life
Yesterday, after posting on my website, I returned to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites where I was swarmed with this name: Amanda Todd. If you’ve been on the Internet recently, then you know exactly what I’m about to talk about. This 15-year-old Canadian, posted a video to YouTube about bullies, and—five weeks later—she… Continue reading Relax & Read: History of a Suicide: My Sister’s Unfinished Life
Movie Mention: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Well—I was FINALLY able to see this wonderful movie, even though I had to drive 40 minutes to find a theatre that was playing it here in Kansas. (I swear these things don’t normally happen in the Midwest—contrary to popular belief, we do have a lot to do for entertainment.) And for those of you… Continue reading Movie Mention: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I know I haven’t posted the past few days even though I’ve promised to post every day, but I’m grieving at the moment. Unfortunately, this week, I lost a very dear loved one.

TV Time: Gossip Girl
Considering I’ve been watching this show since 2007, and I started reading the book series in 2002, I cannot believe the last season is premiering tomorrow night! Based on the best selling YA series by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl is a drama-filled soap about the Upper East Side—who’s rich and who’s richer. Although the… Continue reading TV Time: Gossip Girl
Movie Mention: Interview with the Vampire
Now that I’ve given you all a great YA Halloween read, I thought I’d suggest a good Halloween movie. (But I wouldn’t clarify it as YA, because it is more on the violent side). Everyone nowadays seems to be in the vampire craze (or at least was in it at some moment). I have… Continue reading Movie Mention: Interview with the Vampire
