We took a day trip to Wilmington on Friday. We successfully sold all but one of Mac’s Magic: The Gathering cards and made, how shall I say, a LOT of money. I was actually shocked at what they offered us. He was not. We had lunch at Flaming Amy’s burrito barn. It’s like everything Chipotle should be. I feel weird about taking pics of food, so I didn’t. Mac had the… View Post »
Cara Box Reveal
My first Cara Box arrived whilst I was at work yesterday, so I’m linking up today! Kaitlyn over at Wifessionals started the Cara Box as a way for bloggers to meet.

Mac is also going to a shop to offload some of his “Magic: The Gathering” playing cards. 3.

Death and the Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I and the Dark Scandal That Rocked the Throne – Chris Skidmore My latest read was Death and the Virgin Queen: Elizabeth I and the Dark Scandal That Rocked the Throne by Chris Skidmore. I really enjoyed this book overall. It’s a different style of writing because the book focuses mostly on the relationship between Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley, her great favorite, and… View Post »
