Cuteness overload! I have been using this adorable giraffe (originally created by Vlad Gerasimov) as my desktop wallpaper for a couple years now.

Have you ever thought of maintaining your own blog, posting the reviews there, and making money from your efforts? I’m not promising that [...]
My Fair Godmother

My Fair Godmother. Janette Rallison. 2009. Walker. 320 pages. Here’s my definition of a bad day: your boyfriend of four months–who until twelve seconds ago, you thought was the most perfect guy to set foot on earth–breaks up with you.
