I just had my first job interview in Hawaii... for Quiksilver/Roxy as a visual merchandiser. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please! I hope, hope, hope that I get this job or find another fantastic job soon. I'd love to get the career train moving along again!My parents arrived 2 days ago. They're cruisin' in Waikiki. They did a bus tour today that sounded awesome! I might have to do one of those. Kind of reminded me of one of those L.A. tours where they point out where all of the famous people live and movies were filmed... except this...

I've made it safely to Hawaii! I'm moved in and settling quickly. I arrived on the beautiful island of Oahu early yesterday afternoon after spending a trecherous 14 hours in airports and on a stuff plane. The plane ride really is long, boring, and exhausting.

Knitted dolls,...

So... where have I been? I can't even begin to tell you about the millions of thoughts rushing through my mind over the past few weeks. As most of you know - I've been searching for a new job for months. A new job. A new place to live. A new, refreshing way of life. Most of you also know that I've been struggling,...

I'd like to introduce you to one of my new favorite places... The Midtown Scholar. Located in downtown Harrisburg, PA, right across the street from the splendid, historic, Harrisburg Broad Street Market sits a gigantic bookstore. The Midtown Scholar is one of the best independent, new and used book store in the entire country.Three stories of nonfiction, fiction, history, art, biographies and more.
