Your Life, But Better: January 2011
http://yourlifebutbetter.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. An Audience of Two. So how are all of you dealing with this crazy winter? For those of you living somewhere warm, I am jealous. Here in New York, it has been snowy, slushy, rainy, windy, icy, and just plain yuck! I got a spot in this outdoor lot when I first moved into my building during the summer. Seemed like a good idea at the time. OK, this guy was pretty cool. Wish I could take credit for him. Anyway, it has been COLD! When I started taking writing classes in high school ...

Your Life, But Better: I Solemnly Swear that I Am Up to No Good
http://yourlifebutbetter.blogspot.com/2015/03/i-solemnly-swear-that-i-am-up-to-no-good.html
Thursday, March 5, 2015. I Solemnly Swear that I Am Up to No Good. For the first time in a long, long time, I have no writing, revisions, or proofreading to do. I feel so free! Case in point, I recently participated in a fund-raiser for Read Ahead (formerly called Everybody Wins! Harry's Lightning Bolts (from left to right): Me, Cindy, Alison, and Jenn. It was a great night for a good cause. (But more important, I broke 100 on the bowling lane! Since all this promotional stuff will be kicking off soon, I...

Your Life, But Better: November 2011
http://yourlifebutbetter.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. The Cutest Blog on the Block. While my coworkers are answering phone calls and filing paper. Crazy, right? And why was there a swimming pool in the middle of the office? I mean, in the dream it seemed perfectly normal, but. Oh, sorry. Got a bit off track there. My point is that while I love my blog, I do realize that it is, for the most part, pretty self-centered. What did I. Who talked to me. I, I, I. Me, me, me. [Shaking my head sadly.]. Well, here's what I. That said, che...

Your Life, But Better: June 2011
http://yourlifebutbetter.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 2, 2011. Fame Is Fleeting, Ya Know? I've actually never aspired to be famous, at least not on a Kate Middleton or Oprah level. Okay, it would. Be pretty awesome to hobnob with the other rich and famous folks, some of whom are just dreamy. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to be invited to a party with the likes of James McAvoy (I heart you, James! That total lack of privacy and pressure to be perfect all the time? More important, what should I wear? From one of the girls, Jayla, ...

Sunday, December 22, 2013. If you're a member of Facebook, you know that in December they post your year in review- the highlights of the past twelve months of your life. As I joked with my friends, according to Facebook, the highlights of my year include winning a volleyball game because the other team forfeited, having my hair blow dried, and finding $20 on the floor. So.nonstop excitement, in other words. I thought Facebook was being sarcastic. Whoa! Another big year for you, Crystal! Follow me as I t...

Your Life, But Better: July 2015
http://yourlifebutbetter.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. End of an Era.and Start of a New One. Oh boy.this past spring and this summer have been so eventful, it might be easier to fill you in on everything through pictures. The fair offered book-themed cupcakes! I had the one with the Lord of the Flies. Book cover on it. YUM. Naturally, the Penguin book truck was parked outside. I scored copies of Brown Girl Dreaming and Madeline. The latter of which I gave to my mom, Madelin, as a graduation present). Especially when it means you'll get...

Your Life, But Better: When Great Trees Fall
http://yourlifebutbetter.blogspot.com/2015/01/when-great-trees-fall.html
Sunday, January 25, 2015. When Great Trees Fall. After we got the call about my grandmother, my family and I had to scramble to get flights to Florida as soon as possible. But there was one problem: I had already committed to doing a reading that Thursday at the Washington Elementary School in West Orange, New Jersey, as part of their literacy night event. It seemed like an impossible task. How cool is that? Into the microphone. Wendi had created a slideshow of the book, which she projected behind me...
