mid-week round-up

bumblebree

Hey friends! What are y’all up to this week? I have the next three days off to spend with Chet before he heads back to school (and the completion of his PhD!!!). Let the adventures begin! But first, let’s adventure through the internet….

Imagine making such a discovery in your backyard.

One teacher makes the difficult choice to walk away.

A sleek, chic tiny home. (When can I move in?)

This genius hotline layin’ down some education.

Talk to strangers!!! 

Just some farmer’s market humor. NBD.

8 minute docu about a dude who lives on a little boat.

What happened in Chile on a DIFFERENT 9/11.

40 year old mom becomes an NFL cheerleader. Get it, girl!

Super easy, on-the-go Mason jar brekky.

Some surprising truths about homelessness.

The fainting dog that made my puppy fever skyrocket through the roof!

P.S. I woke up to a BROKEN coffee pot this morning…it just made a bunch of noises and nothing would brew. Has this ever happened to you? It was like zero to crisis in 2.5 seconds, all in the haze of non-caffeinated morning confusion. Chet burnt some fingers in the process. Basically a scene out of a Mumblecore Rom-Com. : )

P.P.S. THIS IS MY 100th POST!

 

mid-week round-up

Ladybugs are taking over my apartment! Where have they all come from? Should I catch them and put them out in my garden? Oh, Summer. I hope the rest of your work week flies by and your weekend lasts a lifetime. For the rest of my week, I’m foreseeing more backgammon games, smoothie experiments (I have an idea for how to make a Nutella smoothie. We’ve already conquered the cinnamon roll smoothie. #healthyfoodhacks) (LONG LIVE THE MAGIC BULLET!!!), and a trip to see some black bears. OH, and good luck to all the tiny speech kittens at nationals. Be amazing…so I can be super impressed when I continue my annual summer ritual of tuning in to the live stream of your final rounds. : ) Now for some links…

Coke unveils some new green-scamming tactics.

One of these days I’m gonna try this out.

Gorgeous tumblr if you’re feeling scroll happy.

Love these simple, weeknight meals.

Whoops, I’ve seen all the docus on this list. Check ’em out!

Caring creatures.

Is YouTube to blame for the destruction of our last real movie star? (Great article but I’m gonna go ahead and place the blame a little more squarely on Scientology and peripherally on internet journalism/YouTube.)

Check yo’self…before you scientifically wreck yo’self!

A huge standing ovation to Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri.

And just another reason I need a yard.
