It's a rainy Friday here which has left me sleepy and slow-moving. Parker's a bit under the weather and is staying home with me today...which is not helping my motivation to be a super-achiever AT ALL. Instead we are watching TV and planning to pick up ChickFilA for lunch.
Here are a few links for your weekend perusal:
- Today, while lazing on the couch with Parker, I downloaded Flipboard for the iPad. Apps that consolidate social media seem to be especially helpful at the moment. Now I can peruse Facebook, Twitter, Googlereader, and Instagram all in one spot. Also, the way Flipboard formats all of your STUFF like a newspaper makes me happy.
- A childhood friend, Kate, sent me this link yesterday. If you are a writer, aim to be a writer, or have any interest whatsover in roadhouse singing...you should read this.
- I'm thinking of these to replace the funky chandeliers over our kitchen and dining room tables. And these to replace the pendants over the island. None of the original light fixtures are aesthetically pleasing to me. Sterling is unhappy to hear this news. Any lighting advice, O World Wide Web?
- I just started reading this blog. I love the photography and the vintage vibe. I found this post ("On Being a Man Who Knits") particularly interesting since my dissertation has everything to do with the intersection of domesticity and feminism. I, for one, greatly admire a man who knits. I sure wish Sterling could knit so he could help me work out the multiple knitting needle scenario. I'm going to talk to him about this tonight.
- Made tortilla soup and PW's lasagna for dinner this week. I'm not even a huge lasagna fan, and I adore PW's recipe. Try it. Tonight? Possibly PW's sloppy joes if I can make it into the kitchen to defrost the ground beef. I don't know...that sounds fraught with difficulty.
Okay. Parker is tired of my association with this computer. I must. try. to. relate. to. my. people.
Happy weekend!
You made me laugh with this post: All three of my boys knit -- they got more yarn and new needles for Christmas. Here's the kicker: their uncle taught them, cause I sure don't know how. So if you ever want to knit with some men folk, I can hook you up.
