It’s been ages

Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post. So, sit back, get some popcorn, and get ready for a long story about the reasons behind that. First off, I was crazy busy this summer. I had a lot of yard work and projects I was doing, plus my mom and I went

Kitty!!!

Howdy, folks. In case you haven’t already heard, I adopted a cat last week from a local shelter. Her name is Taffy, and here she is: As you can see, I’ve had her for less than a week, and I’ve already taken too many photos. She is a lovebug, but she’s playful too. She has

A little of this, a little of that

This entry is going to have no real focus, since there are a few things I want to talk about. First, I just really wanted to emphasize that I am doing this blog for fun. I am a copy editor, and I didn’t really want to hyper-focus on editing on my time away from work.
