Week 129!
It’s been a beautiful week here in Central Indiana with warm-ish temperatures during the day and cooler ones in the evening. We actually have snow in the forecast for Monday. I’m not getting too excited about that because Monday is several days away, and it will just be scattered flakes. Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I’m not sure about times right now, but I will still be aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Daenel from Living Outside the Stacks!
Daenel says, “Hi, I’m Daenel Vaughn-Tucker, I’m the blogger and photographer behind Living Outside the Stacks. I speak fluent TV quotes and can reference an episode of The Twilight Zone for just about any life event. I car dance shamelessly at red lights and am musically stuck in the eighties, however, I enjoy the seventies and nineties too.
I’m over 50 and have been addicted to clothes and coffee since I was kid. My unique fashion style is heavily influenced by my childhood in Italy and a desire to create a sustainable wardrobe of pieces that speak to me and showcase my personality. I love a good pattern mix and color clash — it keeps things interesting.
I’ve been a librarian for over twenty years and have just discovered the convenience and joy of audiobooks. I’ve learned that the narrator plays as important a role in the storytelling as the actual story, so I do include my thoughts on the narration in my reviews. I enjoy mysteries, biographies, and historical fiction, so if you have recommendations, feel free to share.
A little over a decade ago, The Hubs bought me my first camera and I’ve been chasing light ever since. I mostly take photos for the college where I work, but I work on personal projects as well. You can see them here.
My faith is important to me and is reflected in everything I do.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m really happy you’re here.” You can find Daenel’s blog here, and please tell her we sent you!

Thanks, Lydia! I think you will enjoy it, Lydia. Daenel writes about lots of different things and is a fabulous photographer (well, that’s part of her job).
Hi, Marsha – Thank you so much for featuring my Dark Romance style post from last week! I’ll mention it in my social media. XO – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com
You’re very welcome, Angie! It was such a cool post, and I noticed some of the others featured it, too!
I never get excited about snow! Lol. Give me summer all year. Anyway, thanks for hosting the party and have a wonderful weekend.
You are so welcome, Nancy! Do you get much snow? We haven’t gotten a good snowstorm in a few years. Maybe this year, but I doubt it.
Oh you’ll never hear me get excited about snow; it can hold off as long as it would like. As it is I haven’t been motivated to get out and walk in days. It’s been rather cold and blustery here and I miss those warm early fall days.
Thanks, Joanne! I love snow and always have. But, I’m also one of those people who loves rainy days. We haven’t had blustery days…though it looks like the next few might be. I do like the shoulder seasons best, though.
Marsha,
