Shelf Indulgence: On Reading (Part 1)…

They say there are a thousand ways to skin a cat (why skin a cat… I have no idea), and there are hundreds of applications to read books on various devices. To be honest, I’m not a physical book reader. I’ve heard people talk about the feel of the paper or the scent of it; honestly, it does nothing for me.  I’m a digital reader, I can’t help myself. I know what they say… it’s bad for your eyes (or…

Reading Wrapped 2024?!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody. This will be the last post for 2024. I wanted to show that I don’t just talk the talk but I walk the walk (or read the read). Two things I mentioned before, first I’m an over achiever, and second, I love Goodreads. It’s an awesome way to keep organized and accountable to yourself and others (if you wish). You get to see new releases from your favorite authors and get…

The Bookworm’s Banter

Before we begin, I’m so sorry this post was late; Life be lifeing. A thousand apologies. Now let’s get into it… You are what you eat. This is true. It is also true that you are what you read. I have mentioned that I love all things romance. (Goodreads confirmed this to me today). Be it Christian, historical, fantasy, werewolf, cowboy, teen, dragon, highlander; it doesn’t matter, I will read it.…

The Write Stuff.

Get your head out of the clouds. I heard this a lot growing up in one form or another from adults in my life. What they didn’t understand was that I couldn’t help myself. My mind created worlds and scenarios that quite honestly were more interesting than what was happening around me. I was lost because I couldn’t turn it off, until someone introduced me to writing. I don’t remember who it was, I…

Pages Turned…

Hey and welcome back. Any fast readers in the house? My hands stayed down, way down. I read slow; yes, I said it. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t take to reading right off the bat. The person who got me into reading (Hey Cuz) is a fast reader. She can get through a 600-page book in a day. We’d start reading at the same time, I’d be three chapters in while she would be done and chomping at the…

And So It Begins…

Hi, welcome to this bookish adventure. I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to join me. I love shenanigans (I’m sure you do too). Thank you for

Thinking Out Loud (Phy - Taboo)

​So... I've been listening to this song by Phy called Taboo (it's Kenyan for those who don't know)... Anyway... I love the song... The lyrics make sense the beat is on point... It's just really well done... But the video was kind of a let down... I was expecting more... More feeling basically just more everything...  As I listened to it on a loop (which I never do by the way)  ideas of what I would have loved to see on the video kept playing in my head... What if...  She is cheating with her man's best friend... They have some kind of get together at her place and the tension in the are is palpable... He shows up with his significant other and they have to fight the attraction between them in every room in the house... From the living room where they all sit to catch up, to the kitchen where he stands behind her as she reaches up for a serving dish... His breath on her neck, to the dinning room where he runs his legs up her thighs, to the bathroom where she runs to try and gather herself away from him yet there he is... Her reaction to him is so powerful yet she has to make sure it doesn't show... And toward the end she has to chose between desire and duty...  Anyhoo that's just my opinion... You can check out the song... Here is the link https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GHLwzpaPSXg Kisses Chao

My hair...

Okay...so i have been struggling to decide what to blog about...I'm not an overly serious person so i think i'll just say what comes to me. The year 2012 was not a great one for me...things just wouldn't go my way and i needed a change...so i cut my hair and decided to go natural. I had no clue what i had done until i was staring at a sink full of hair. New experiences are always exciting....at first...I was terrified my hair wouldn't grow so like very one...i googled... I searched for ways to manage my new curly mane. It has been trying but i stuck to it. I was in for the long haul. But the growth has been wanting...i know there are things i should do that i don't but it is slow and i'm worried i'll never get my length back. I pray i'm wrong. This is Caz...kisses...

Just Thinking

Have you ever had one of those days when you feel sick but you know there is really nothing wrong with you...its one of those days today...i can't complain about it because lets face it...its more about whats wrong with me than with everything around me...i suppose this is what happens when you get too comfortable in life...when things need to change but you really don't want them to...its like a hamster on a wheel...running as fast as you can but getting nowhere...something has got to give....

My First Blog

This is odd. I was do excited to write this...My very first blog. I was confused about what to write about...my hair...my life...movies..music...the news. And then today happened. Today was a bad day...full of disappointment...sadness. I can't write. All i can do is ask this question. How the hell did i get here?
