Today is Batman Day! I doned my Batman shirt (and matching undies -woo hoo) and took my son to celebrate Batman Day 2015 at our local Barnes & Noble for a kids event. They had trivia and read stories. We didn't win, but hearing my 3-year old try to say Oswald Cobblepot was hilariously … [Read more...]

What I’m Reading: Uprooted by Naomi Novik
I've always been somewhat of a bookworm. I find using visual imagery comes easily to me, which makes reading that much more enjoyable. I love being taken to faraway places and seeing exactly how my mind pictures the characters and the scenery. Fantasy and some sci-fi (since vampires seem to fall … [Read more...]
Hoth Leia Crown Braid Hair Tutorial – No French Braiding Required
Oh Leia, you trendsetter, you. Crown braids are very "in" right now.

Despite the Girlie name in my blog title, there are many typical "girlie" … [Read more...]

5 Fandom Friday – 5 Broadway Roles I’d Love to Play
If there's one thing I love to do, it's sing. I may not always do it well, but when I do it, I sing loud and proud. Although I've not seen many Broadway shows, I've heard the soundtracks and seen many a Broadway adapted movie, so I was pretty excited for this week's 5 Fandom Friday. Here are my 5 … [Read more...]
A Little Late to the Party: I Love Star Wars
I realize I'm about as late to the party as I could be, but thanks be to the geeky gods and my insistent friends, I now love Star Wars. My road to Star Wars love didn't start out so pretty. I had never seen the originals when the new episodes released. I remember being 12 and my parents took me … [Read more...]
