It’s been hosted by Lauren’s Page Turners, but I’m not sure if that blog is active anymore. Please enjoy this preview of what I want to read in the future! … Continue reading Goodreads Monday: The Searcher
April Summary, May Preview
While the calendar is convinced that we're well into spring, the weather doesn't agree. It's snowing in the western part of the state, while here it has been cold and rainy since Monday. Sure, we had a row of beautiful days last week, but now its almost wintry out. I'd say that I can't wait … Continue reading April Summary, May Preview

It was a cold and snowy week here in windblown Nebraska. I put the knit wool cap I bought on the Irish island of Inis Mór to good use, and though a coworker jokingly called me "Tiny Kim", my head stayed nice and warm on those frigid, blustery days. Really, I don't mind being compared … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 01/27/2019

A little late today. I drove up to my sister's house last night to watch the NCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship game between Nebraska and Stanford. I was, of course, cheering for Nebraska, but sadly they couldn't pull off winning the championship for the second straight year. They lost to Stanford in five … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 12/16/2018
Sunday Sum-Up
It's been a cold and gloomy week around here, capped by a weekend of snow, ice, and rain. And just as it happens every year, I did not get to spend my lone day off relaxing. I had to do a bunch of adulting, which included most of an hour spent on hold. Not … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Another quick post today! Thanksgiving has already come and gone, and now I'm into my busiest time of year at work. I'll be working six days a week from now until Christmas unless this snowstorm forces us to close for the day. I will find out soon... In other news, I made it to … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up
