My lovely mother-in-law clipped this out of the newspaper for me. Click to see a larger version. Congratulations to Finley Martin, author of The Dead Letter, for winning in the Fiction category.

"He who laughs last laughs the laughiest." The death of author Louise Rennison was announced today. When I was in junior high, I owned all of the Georgia Nicolson books and loaned them out to anyone who would read them. I lost a few of them over the years and had to re-buy several of them, thus...

Weddings Photos!
We just got our wedding photos back a few days ago. I am totally blown away. Kristy McKinney is just stupid talented. I am crazy about what she does with color- everything is so bright and pretty and fun. I am so, so, so happy with how they turned out. Here is a sampling for my blog readers. My...

The Post-Wedding Post

The Art of Letting Others Into Your Brain

Wedding Update (Part 1)

The Wedding Dress: Preliminary Findings
Despite not being the type of woman to gush over clothes, I love me some Say Yes to the Dress. Yesterday I did some preliminary wedding dress shopping with my mother, grandmother and Colby's mom. It was... not what I expected. And I mean that in a good way. A wise friend on Twitter (*waves...
