Being the readaholic that I am, I have lists of lists. If you are interested in checking out what I plan to read and review in the upcoming months, go to Amazon and check out the wishlists of Julie L. Anderson. They are arranged by month (of course) and, if you can see [...]

Today has been a 5 for injuries. I feel like such an idiot, but yesterday as I was walking in the parking lot of where I work…I tripped and fell…pretty hard. So now I have a bloody skinned right knee and wrenched my left knee pretty badly. So today I’m moving like [...]
