Mel’s Monday Musings: March 18, 2019
Today, I just wanted to drop a few positive things here, and I invite you to do the same! What's made you smile lately? My list: -Season 3 of Queer Eye -- seriously, go watch it! It's such a feel-good show in an era of pettiness, manufactured outrage, and toxicity. (Also, you need to see … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: March 18, 2019

Whatcha reading these days?
What are You Reading?
I thought I might do a quarterly-ish post on what we're all reading or looking forward to reading soon. I read across genres and am always up for suggestions!

Some days, this empty space seems to be mocking me. I haven't figured out what direction this blog might … Continue reading It Does Seem to be Mocking You
Monkey pants and other fun things
I recently got sucked into binge-watching Buffy: The Vampire Slayer from the very beginning. Man, I'd forgotten how many hilariously quotable lines there were and how genius Joss Whedon is! "I mock you with my monkey pants" is just one of those lines that, when heard, must be thrown into casual conversation at some point … Continue reading Monkey pants and other fun things
