I made it! 30 blogs in 30 days! It hasn’t been easy – some nights I didn’t get to bed until after midnight because I hadn’t blogged yet, and some days I had no idea what I’d write about until I sat down and actually started to write it – but it’s DONE! Just in … Read moreDay 30: The End!

Up until 3 years ago, I have always lived in the ‘burbs, somewhere partway between Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD.

(It’s going to be a short one, too, so while you’re getting over things…) I am a firm believer that you can learn pretty much *anything* on the internet. Whatever you need to know, Google will help you find the … Read moreDay 25: Google it!

Happy Thanksgiving, Internet peeps. I hope that you all had a great holiday, full of fun and food, family and friendship. Before I haul my overly-full, slightly tipsy ass upstairs to bed, I just wanted to share a few things that I learned today… When it’s Human vs. 8 month old Newfoundland puppy, the puppy … Read moreDay 23: What I Learned on Thanksgiving Day

9 days left to go on this daily blogging challenge, and this is what it’s come to, folks. Real life photographs that illustrate some of my favorite tv shows and movies…               Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we’re having company over…I hope for all your sakes that someone does or … Read moreDay 22: Life Imitating Art

My subscription to Ancestry.com also included an account on newspapers.com, which (DUH) is an archive of old newspapers from around the country.
