I’m enjoying my time in Florida with my husband’s family, and I’ll have some new posts after Christmas. I’ll be unplugged from the blog, but I’ve got a scheduled post or two coming your way. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Is it me, or has this week been particularly long? I think it’s due to the unusually short week for Thanksgiving. Either way, December is here, and the insanity gets even more intense! I’ve got a rehearsal tonight and tomorrow, a study session for stats, an apartment showing, and a concert… and that’s all before Monday! Here’s what I’m reading to kick off the weekend:

It turned cold here in Texas, so I’m looking forward a fall-feeling weekend! I’m also looking forward to a music-filled weekend, as my husband and I are attending an “Explosions in the Sky” concert tonight, I’ve got a 2 hour rehearsal for my show, and I’m singing on Sunday. Amid all that performing, I should probably study for statistics… but here’s what I’m reading to post-pone the studying as long as possible:
