Bucket List- Read Something by Jane Austen

It might have taken me an entire month, but I did it.

I have officially been inducted into the Jane Austen Fan Club.

Now, not only do I feel confident in my readiness to conduct total Jeopardy domination,

So...About That Cat Lady Thing

After I put up that lovely little post about being confident about your future and not giving into irrational fears, I felt a renewed sense of optimism. Everything is going to work out, I reasoned.

A 550-piece Penguins at the Beach puzzle, of course.

Keeping the Faith- Post-Grad Style

So, I'm currently in that rather awful position of being a post-grad, scouring job sites for any gig that is both reputable and will take me, and battling every Suzie, Timmy and Bob for that coveted intern spot.

It's got me wondering, how do you keep yourself confident that things will turn out?

How do you keep the faith?

And no, I'm not talking about that charming romantic comedy with Ben Stiller and Edward Norton. Although, that is quite a treat.
