I’ve been in Seattle this past week. It’s all greens, bridges, and clouds. If you’re wondering why Seattle is completely out of coffee and wine this week… that was me. I drank it all. It wasn’t pretty. Sorry.
Let’s go ahead and add “nervous breakdown” to the list of things we should never Google, or admit to Googling. Ooops. But, I mean… if you have the foresight to Googling it, does it mean that you’re probably not having one? Probably. Likely. Don’t look at me.
The Internet is a mad world. Here’s some:
• ‘Alex From Target’ and the Mess of Uncontrollable Fame. The internet is the weirdest place and I suppose now a random candid picture of you at work can lead to hundreds of thousands of social media followers and tweets from Ellen. But what do you even doooo with that!? “Fame has always been fickle; but in the past, ascending to internet stardom involved at least some effort on the part of a fame-seeker.”. Does anything mean anything anymore? Not rhetorical.
• “In short, people with A.D.H.D. may not have a disease, so much as a set of behavioral traits that don’t match the expectations of our contemporary culture.” A Natural Fix For ADHD
• It takes some comedic bravery to say the words Chris Rock does. There’s something beyond the humor though… always. Chris Rock Monologue on SNL
• On Kindness: My Mother Is Sick FYI: Really beautiful.
• Where do all of these stories even come from? People that are brave enough to go out and get them. The Committee to Protect Journalists says that 370 journalists have been killed in the last 10 years as a direct result of their jobs. Here’s that story.
• Broken Sleep: People once woke up halfway through the night to think, write or make love. What have we lost by sleeping straight through?
• Tomorrow we have another Baking Bootcamp! First we made Triple Berry Cinnamon Swirl Bread then Apple Pie Biscuits. Tomorrow we hitting up the savory side!
• The Kitchn has some lovely Thanksgiving inspiration. Not complicated or fussy. Just right.
• No You Are Not “Running Late”, You Are Rude And Selfish. Think about it.
• I’m going back to school with PBS and The Fault In Our Stars‘ John Green: Crash Course. Is this going to be on the test?
• Milk Stout and Sea Salt Caramels. Perfect.
I hope you sail through this Tuesday. Google all the cries for help you need to. Maybe just don’t me like me and tell aaalll of the Internet.
Cool. Byeee!

I loved the article on “Running Late,” I might accidentally leave a copy out and about in my office.

In defense of my fair city, it is a not so quietly kept secret, that Seattle rainy, makes you appreciate, Seattle sunny. On sunny days, there is no more beautiful place. You have to see it to believe it.

I laughed, I cried, I became hungry for pastries and caramels. Pretty much a perfect list, Joy. Happy Tuesday. XO

It’s sunny in Seattle as I’m writing this!
Loved the lateness article and promptly sent it to my husband. It will do no good but a girl can try. Were you visiting the troll when you took the bridge photo?

I think the one where you said “I’m running late” is my favorite. I think about this when people are late. I love google!

Hi Joy! I love your recipes but honestly, I am always anxious to see what links you will post each week. I hope one day I will have the pleasure of meeting you because you have such a vibrant and intelligent voice on the blog.

A few times a year, I’ll find myself gripped by the feeling that the spaces in which I live are inadequate arenas for the occasions when I feel most alive. – On Kindess. Holy Smokes. Thanks, Joy.
