My Nightstand

September 25, 2012

Seriously, it’s becoming a problem. I’m book obsessed and always have been. I love to read books, look at books + buy books. I wish I were more of a library girl, but I’m not. I like to see piles of them everywhere. Which means I don’t think I’ll ever be an e-reader reader. Just about any […]

Fall Soup Round-Up

September 17, 2012

NO SOUP FOR YOU! One of the funniest lines in all of 90s sitcom. Every time I say or even think of soup, I can’t help think about the “Soup Nazi” episode. George not getting his free bread, Jerry kissing his girlfriend in line, and Elaine finding a recipe of the Soup Nazi’s! Classic comedy […]
