So… yeah. A whole month has gone by and I didn’t update at all. That’s typical of me actually. But you know what I do appreciate? I appreciate the people that stop by and check on me from time to time. I love that. When all hope is lost, I visit my site and look at the Blog Catalog widget to see who recently graced me with their presence. It’s all quite nice. So what I’m really trying to say is: Thanks for not completely giving up on me.
And trust me, this blog means a lot to me. It may not seem like that’s the case, but it’s true. The problem is that I fall into different slumps and it’s really really hard to get out of them.
You know how you write something and you think it’s crap, but then someone else reads it and they love it? That’s how I feel about this blog and pretty much everything I write in general. I write and write and write and edit and edit and edit… until I feel it’s less like pure shite and more like a bad smell in the room. The latter obviously being a step up. Now I love compliments and aside from the fact I have no idea how to take them – other than responding with a light twist of self-deprecation – I’m not saying all this in the hopes you issue forth kind words. I’m saying this because it’s the truth… plain and simple.

So I’m going to do something a little different today and attempt to review a book. I loved it so much, was so entertained, was so caught up in the story, I HAVE to share it with you. It is my hope that by the end of this post, you’ll be curious enough to buy it, read it, and hopefully love it as much as I do. Even if you don’t read it, at least purchase it so the author can make a few bucks and feel encouraged to write other AWESOME literature.
I don’t normally review things, so the fact I’m doing so now should definitely tell you something.

This will be a quick post in which I pass on a couple of awards!
The first one:

I follow a pattern when someone introduces me to something new. I have a tendency to act like NO ONE else knows anything about it and that it’s my duty to spread the word.
A perfect example is StumbleUpon. I think it’s a great way to discover anything you want to know about. I mostly “stumble” humorous stuff and I’m not usually disappointed with what I come across. The first night I used it, I was up into the wee hours of the morning reading reviews, looking at profiles, rating stuff, and just…. exploring. It was addictive and I couldn’t get over how cool it was. Surely no one else knew about this. None of my friends were talking about it and I didn’t see too many SU buttons anywhere. Yes, once again the responsibility fell on Jill to introduce light where there was darkness. I was on a mission…
