I finally did it: I survived my first Boucheron. I’ve flirted with the idea of attending the world’s largest mystery convention for several years now, but I’ve always ended up getting intimidated by the sheer size of it.

A while back, I saw this notebook while browsing at a gift shop. On the front was a colorful frog with the caption “A Leap of Faith Never Fails.” Now, I love a good motivational message as much as the next gal, but I’m also pragmatic enough that things like this kind of piss me off.
