Last weekend, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the 7th Annual Arizona Balloon Classic as part of a balloon crew. I woke up early on Saturday morning, January 27th, drove 15 minutes from my home in southwest Phoenix to Goodyear, Arizona, where this year’s balloon classic was being held at Goodyear Ballpark. I arrived …
As the Christmas weekend is upon us, I like to spend time rewatching Christmas movies: the old classics and family favorites. In more recent years, I have also added Hallmark Christmas movies to the rotation. But even those can’t hold a candle to many of the movies on this list, at least for me. So, …
I watched Thor: Ragnarok last Saturday and left the theater thinking this was hands down the best Marvel movie of 2017. This is coming from someone who loved Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I will admit that I haven’t seen Spider-Man Homecoming, as I’m not a big Spider-Man fan. But even if I had seen …
I recently read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, after having borrowed the book from my boyfriend during my last visit. I had heard of the book not only from him but from mutual friends who had read it as well. They all had glowing (spoiler free) reviews of the book and it had certainly …
This year’s Gishwhes (Greatest Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen) has just ended. It was another week of crazy scavenger hunting fun. With over 200 items, it was a packed week of finding things, creating things, donating to charities and causes, and spending time with your team of friends and newcomers. I’ve shared about …

All would be revealed on the 16th and the fandom waited with bated …
I’m not just saying that because I’m a woman. I’m saying that because I’m a DC fan, who has been waiting for a movie that would make up for the short falls of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a movie that would raise DC to Marvel’s playing field, and a movie that would wow me. Wonder …
I recently returned from Germany, where I was visiting my grandparents and family. It was great to be back again, after nearly two years. The weather wasn’t the greatest but it was a nice change and we did have a few partially sunny days. Most of the time, it was cloudy and cool, as some …
My recent trip to Pennsylvania began with a slightly rocky start. Luckily, everything went uphill from there and resulted in a great trip to a place I had never been, to visit an equally great guy. I made the trip to visit my boyfriend and see where he lived and worked. At the same time, …
It’s that time of year again. The birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming. Spring is in the air and it’s time to put winter in the rear-view mirror. There are a lot of things that happen or can happen, maybe even should happen when Spring rolls around. Some of them halted by the cold …
