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!

As for the last item: Ghostery is your friend. Seriously, download it immediately. And use DuckDuckGo instead of Google to search.

I spotted you in a King Author Flour commercial! It plays just before and just after Martha Bakes!

I love Brie! So many great recipes!

I just recently was looking at the Tidying up book. I love it. So perfect for my cluttered life.
Winding Spiral Case
I’m ever so curious about that delicious looking creation as well!! I’ve had that KonMari book sitting around for a while and will have to get back to reading it given all these rave reviews I’m hearing :)

My partner has a standing desk in his office at home, and it’s amazing! It’s so simple and yet it makes a ton of difference. He is now looking into getting the treadmill desk actually, as standing still for too long can also be bad for joints, back, and muscles.

You can do EVERYTHING with brie cheese! I would take a bath in brie cheese if it was affordable and wouldn’t completely ruin my tub ;)

Oh man, I wonder if Experian and Google are tracking my Brie cheese consumption? What does that mean?;)

P.S. the double chocolate chips are to die for the judges were right. I cheated and ate one, only one. Paulette

Hope your move went well! I love the standing desk article (order me a swimming pool desk and a Pringle ball please!), and the ways to get through Monday were definitely needed today!
Terrie Marcoe
Let there be Monday! I have a big busy week ahead of me, and am raring to go. By next Monday, I may need to review your “11 Tips” post again!
Paulette
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

Is it wrong to want to try all of the brie recipes?? I’m half seriously contemplating doing a brie-themed party, but that might be a little much even for me.
lindsey
you should totally konmarie while moving!!! it would be so great. after seeing it everywhere and the library wait list for the book hovered near 200 people for several months, I finally bought the book. I’m a total convert, it feels amazing ;)
Heather (Delicious Not Gorgeous)
What if I wanted to make all of those brie recipes?? I’m now contemplating hosting a brie-themed party, but that might be too much even for me.

Perfect reads for a Monday morning with a hot cup of coffee!

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.’
Rebecca @ DisplacedHousewife
That Japanese tidy plan gives me anxiety!!
