As this month (and the first half of the year) comes to a close, I have some news I wanted to share with my devoted readers about the rest of the summer.

First of all, this weekend marks the one year anniversary of Just Plain Something. This has become one of the favorite parts of my life and I’m so very proud of it. I will write something proper for the occasion, but I hope all my readers know how grateful I am for your support and patronage.

Second, I will again be going to Toronto at the end of the month and attending RvB:TO. I hope to see many of you there. I will still be keeping up my posts, but they might be a little more sporadic towards the end of the month.

Earlier this month (in a couple weeks, actually), my boyfriend and I will be taking another trip, this time to Florida courtesy of his mom’s timeshare. We’ll be clost to Fort Lauderdale, but are planning a couple treks to Orlando. We will go to Disneyworld one day. The other day we’re going to Universal Studios. What could be at Universal, you ask? Why, only The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! That’s right, I’m going to Hogwarts, BABY! It’s going to be so totally awesome. And I’m going to take a ton of pictures and write a whole PotterWatch all about it. I’m just thrilled.

Finally, I have some exciting news. Many of you know that I am finishing culinary school in the next few months. The last thing I have to do is a 10-week internship. I wasn’t sure if it was going to fit together, but I can now offically announce that in August I will be starting a food writer internship with Nuvo Magazine here in Indianapolis. While my focus will be on good, Nuvo also wants me to do movie reviews, which is so exciting. I will still be keeping up the site, but I’m so happy to have my work get out there as well. One of the things they looked at when deciding whether to take me on as an intern was Just Plain Something and I know my writing on here helped me get it.

So here’s to a great 2nd half of the year! Now let’s have some fun.
