Saw Enchanted today. AHHHHHH. SUCH a girl film. Was a little confused about the two dudes who came in right before the previews–felt certain they took a wrong turn and meant to see Fred Claus instead, but so what, it was good fun for all.
Loved McDreamy in that, but just like everyone [...]

Read the books. LOVED THEM. Desperately.

Um . . . .
I read a book a few days ago about how we all have both The Tyrant and The Rebel inside us, and one is more dominant than the other, but it always triggers the other one.
Tyrant: Fabulous. A contest. A competition. Mother Reader says we’re all reading [...]

You know how when you don’t buy something expensive, you get to credit that extra money to yourself? So you skip the overpriced tchotchke (yes, that is how you spell it) and have an extra $50 or whatever to spend on something else.
Yesterday I had planned on flying to New York. And since [...]
