What am I Reading? - Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey – It is the mid-eighties, and you are thirteen-year-old girl with dreams, hopes and wishes. On Friday nights you watch Dallas and the Duke’s of Hazzard. Sunday’s rock because the movie of the week is on and you will finally get to see The Empire Strikes Back, and you covet the popular girl’s chocolate Cookie lip gloss. You also either sleep under your bed or in your closet for fear of you Dad coming up the stairs and into your room. You are surrounded by adult whispers, strange parties and red ruby strawberries waiting to be picked except they are in the yard of the creepiest guy in town. It’s all relative, right? Then boys in your school start getting attacked, go missing. What better way to spread your wings than solve the town mystery?


What am I Listening to? – Lady Antebellum. L.O.V.E. & myself talk into a camera as I edit the first episode of Romine’s Reviews!


What Quote am I Pondering?
– It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… this is oddly poignant for present day.


What am I Researching? – Hephaestus the Greek God of Fire. – Yes, Zack had an English research paper and Mom needed to help. Have to admit, the story is fascinating and conjures all kinds of ideas. A crippled God, cast out by his family, reclaims his right through ingenuity and hard work. The God that cannot fight, creates armor for the Gods who can amplifying their stories beyond belief with weaponry unknown to mortals. Why have I not heard of this dude before?



Yummy Meal of the Week – Subway BLT – YUM! Add the guacamole. Do it!



What did I Learn? – Waking up at 4 AM is difficult. Really, really difficult.



What am I Watching?
– Raising Dion and Extraction on Netflix. Loved one, hated the other.
