The Power of Music and...Dinner

I grew up playing the piano, but I'll admit... I hated it. LOL. Well I liked playing, but I hated the lessons and having to practice the "required" songs before I returned to class the next week. And I'll also admit that I wasn't very good because I didn't practice... Read more of this blog post »

Have you ever listened to an audio book? What did you think? Better than reading or not so much?

Someone (kindly) alerted me to the change in Remake's release date on Good Reads from May to July. I'm not sure how or why this happened, but it's inaccurate. And was not done by me.

It's been changed back. As of right now, it's still scheduled to come out this month, even if it's the last day LO... Read more of this blog post »

Morning my lovelies… I’m taking the next few days off from blogging to give a moment of silence to the devastation in Moore, Oklahoma.
