Let It Be Monday

Welcome to a new week, my friends!  It’s Monday Funday and if you’re not all the way into it, here’s a few helpful tips to get into it:  11 Little Ways To Get Through This Monday.  

We’re not going to talk about this whole weird dress color controversy.  We can just let that one go, right?  I hope this week holds good hair, hot coffee, easy emailing, and general good vibes.   I’m settling into my new kitchen and have some delicious things in store for us.  There’s a donut thing happening with cheese and mustard.  We need to talk about that soon.  

The Internet, for us: 

•  Leonard Nimoy:  What I’ve Learned.  

•  The Elastic Brain.  Can neuroscience expand the mind of a child past childhood?  

•  Scott Budnick, producer of the Hangover movies, is one of the most effective advocates for prison reform in California:  Outside Man.  Here’s a challenging article about what happens when we send teenagers to adult prisons for non-violent crimes: A Boy Among Men.  

•  George Harrison’s memorial tree in Griffith Park is destroyed by beetles.  There’s got to be an emoji sequence for this kind of irony, right?   

•  Rage against the tyranny of sitting:  The Standing Desk.  

•  Slot Machine Science.  Put a Wheel of Fortune wheel on a slot machine and count me all the way in! 

•  Let’s imagine all the things we can do with Brie Cheese.  

•  The tidying trend.  Let’s do it!  The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.  

•  New rule:  no WebMD searches after 8pm and if we scroll through more than 3 pages we’re cut off because we’re officially freaking ourselves out.  Also… Looking Up Symptoms Online?  These Companies Are Tracking You.  Nooooooooo. 

I love you and Happy Monday!

  2. The two things that caught my attention. One, eleven little way to get through Monday, that’s easy pretend it Friday. Now you really have my attention SLOT MACHINES which I truly love. Been to Vegas five times (does that tell you something) I always scan the place and when my eyes hit that first machine that draws me to it there I go. With slots its just being at the right place at the right time and as Clint Eastwood would say ” Do you feel lucky” if you do sit right down and play. Hey Joy I was lucky Feb. 6th for the tune of 1000 bucks. Was my day and for now I will stay away. LOL Have a good week and now back to making double, double chocolate chips. The recipe says the judges went crazy over it. Will see. Too bad I can’t eat them. Paulette

  10. I hope you’re getting settled into your new kitchen :)

    And oh my gah no WebMD ever! I’ve basically googled all sorts of pregnancy ‘symptoms’ and I’m 99% certain I’m crazy. and my baby is going to be just like me. I think after page 1 it should have a pop-up that says ‘are you sure you want to keep reading? You’re probably just fine.’
