Hello, Sunday.

Well, yesterday it snowed all day, which it wasn’t supposed to and since I had to go out in it, it put me in a bit of a mood. Good thing while I was out I bought donuts, and also ate tacos, so it was worth facing the dust. Otherwise, the afternoon has been spent cooking, reading, watching A Perfect Romance (again) on Netflix, and getting my head on straight for the week. Some Sundays it takes longer than others, doesn’t it?

It was a depressing news week. Is there going to be a week where I don’t say that? Sigh. Anyway, here’s some things to hopefully keep your mind off all of the heaviness. If it doesn’t work, might I suggest a donut?

Age is truly just a number and I say (at 38) that more doors open up every year that passes. And new triumphs! Don’t give up just because you’ve got another ring around the tree.

Not everyone has an internal monologue! MIND BLOWN. I wish mine would shut up sometimes. Especially recently, when my mall walking purgatory has her going non. stop. all. the. time.

This dog takes herself to the park everyday on the bus because dogs are the best and don’t deserve us.

The secret life of Facebook monitors.

This year we have a woman coaching in the Super Bowl! In her own words.

The power of social media and the kindness of strangers. We need this, don’t we?

Again, good people doing good things.

Less cars on the street? Sign me up! Come on, American, we can do it! We need to do it!

How to be a more sustainable traveler. I’m listening.

If you want to make bread but are scared, here are some options to get you through it. Loving these flavor combos!
