Guinness, Anyone?
Well, hello good friends! It's almost 11pm here and I'm just about to get on skype to talk with my girls back home, but before I do I needed to catch you up on my first day in Ireland. We arrived at Dublin Airport at 6:31am, which is not terribly early, however when you factor…

A Dream Vacation
Hello friends! Tomorrow night I leave for a trip of a lifetime! That's right, ladies and gents, my dream of visiting Ireland is about to come true.

My Keyboard Gained Five Pounds
I'm a snacker. I like to eat and I like to do it while I write. I usually reach for the pretzel sticks, my current snack of choice, when I'm stuck and I've been stuck often. I guess I can be thankful that my snack is pretzels and not cheeseburgers. For me, I think it…
