Now scheduling guests for the podcast! Apparently my blog post idea didn't work, which is a bummer. I needed people in one place! Oh well, let me know if you want to be on the podcast! *preference given to LGBTQ+ for the empty June spots*

Hey, @POTUS, for the record, November 11 has BEEN a national holiday for OVER 100 years!!! It's called Veterans day! Used to be called Armistice Day, otherwise known as THE DAY WORLD WAR ONE ENDED! GOOGLE IT!

So apparently, there's been talk of "baby bonuses" in order to encourage more women to have babies. Still doesn't answer the question of what Trump is gonna do for those of us with infertility, does it? I'm actually past angry at this point. I'm just depressed.

I didn't have room in the previous post to say so, but this post is part of a paid promotion. It doesn't change my opinion of the book, but I still have to disclose.

I absolutely LOVED Thieving Shadows by @AuthorPiro, and definitely recommend it! You can preorder now, or purchase on May 13! If you've read any of Jessica's other books, you know what an amazing storyteller she is, so comment below if you're buying! https://t.co/yR9FXF5ZZZ

So, Patricia Heaton (you know, that lady from Everybody Loves Raymond?) Is apparently a doctor now! She's off telling women they need to get pregnant earlier, because hey, did you know your age affects the quality of your eggs? Cuz I didn't! (Insert sarcasm)

Does anyone wanna hire me for editing or proofreading? We could definitely use the money, and I have the time right now to work extra hard for you!

Ever been so mad you're almost in tears? Yeah, me too. That's me right now, actually. Stupid car problems all culminated in having to go to a mechanic, only to find out the original part my husband replaced was bad. So, now it's gonna cost over $1000. (1/2)

I keep seeing ads for "better help," and while I love the premise, all I can see is the review from the young woman who was charged twice during her free month and wasn't allowed to switch therapists.

it's not often a "romance" catches my attention, but since Across Dark Seas is mostly fantasy and adventure, and not mostly romance, I guess it's ok. I'm not even sure how it ended up on my Kindle, but I'm glad it did!

OK, I want these shoes so bad I'm actually considering a gofundme. Don't worry, dearest trolls, I'm not gonna DO it, I just can't justify $120 for shoes, no matter how cute. And yes, I would wear them. Every day. Whether they matched or not.

OK, I get being proud of your work, I do. But $9.99 for a 45-page e book aimed at 12-18 year olds might be pushing it just a bit. Not as bad as $200, but still. Yes, I saw an ebook for $200 on Amazon. True story. And that's American USD.

So my goal for my readathon is 15 books in a week. I have a series I've been wanting to finish for a while now, and while each book isn't super long, I know 15 books is still a lot. But even if you only pledge $1 a book, that's $15 more to help out Tulsa CASA.

If you are looking into website hosting, don't waste your time with @SiteGround. Sorry, you guys, but I'm UNHAPPY. you can promise and apologize all you want, but the fact that you even have to this often is concerning.

I just tried my first falafel today. I LOVED it! I have a friend at work who brings all sorts of treats to work, and she's spoiling me. I can't remember where she's from. All I know is she enjoys feeding people. I think it's her love language.

There are times I can almost forget how old my mom is. When she's driving is not one of those times.
