Upbeat / Dance / Workout Music*
So, I’m coming to you once again. The last time I posted that I was looking for new music I received some amazing suggestions and fell in love with most of what I heard. This time I need really pumped up music. I’ve started running (again) in the past few weeks and I love having really up-tempo music to run to. Dance, techno, club, hip hop, etc–you name it, I want it. I don’t have much as I’m not terribly exposed to the genre, so I need your help! If you know any good artists (and specifically song titles) of good, fast music I would really appreciate it if you’d…

Book Club*
I’ve started a book club. Lilac Dreamer and I were chatting about our mutual love of reading, and having personally seen the Jane Austen Book Club recently and LOVING it, it dawned on me: we need one. So, after careful discussion, Lilac Dreamer discussed several name possibilities and came up with: Book Club. We are creative geniuses. :) We decided we wanted to try and keep it small, and so far have found 4 more fellow book-lovers to join us, two of which are on my list of favourite bloggers: Soaking up the Sun (aka K*) and Grey Eyed Girl. I’m excited for our fabulous discussions. Here’s how it’s going…

Graduation*
I am officially a university graduate. It’s kind of unreal… while I was going through them the last 4 years of school seemed to drag on forever and never end, but now that they are finished, I’m not quite sure where they went. It seems like yesterday that my Dad sat me down in his office two days before the university acceptance deadline and gently (albeit firmly) told me that I needed to choose a direction for my life and go to school. I was devastated at the time as I chose to take it like he was kicking me out, and I was terrified about my future. I had…
