Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
I hope you don’t mind if I skimp on the intro for today’s post, because I spent the majority of the yesterday at my cousin’s wedding, and now it’s super later and all I can think about is crawling into bed and reading 3 pages of my book before passing out for the night. Maybe 4 if I’m feeling super ambitious.
And speaking of reading, I hope you guys enjoy these links I came across this week! It was a bit of a crazy one and I didn’t manage to spend as much time online as I usually do, but there’s still plenty of good stuff in here. And a picture from the road just because.
Happy Sunday!!

So many great reads this week! I especially love “The Eye-Opening Truth About Protein” because SO many people really have no clue, and as someone studying for her RD exam spreading the knowledge is power!
No worries on skimping on the post–sounds like a long day. And that picture is worth a thousand words–even from you!
Yesterday I flew home to Kansas for Labor Day weekend, worked on a puzzle with my boyfriend, and had dinner with my family, including my brother and his wife.
Today I still don’t know what I’m going to do–but some drafting would probably be wise. I’ve got a thesis due by March! Plus I need to write a Week in Review for Meg’s linkup and keep working on that puzzle.
Thanks Amanda! I hope you had a great time! I’m spending this weekend RELAXING and also taking a MERMAID class today which will be AMAZING. Lots of caps haha.
Mermaid class?!?! Ok that sounds seriously cool.
Hope you had a great time at the wedding! Yesterday: worked out, blogged, hung out with friends. Today: worked out, church and school work/studying. Thank you for this link up and I hope you have an amazing week 🙂
Yeah so those fries look and sound amazing. I need to get some stat, although maybe I should finish my lemon water first. Or maybe I shouldn’t read blogs on an empty stomach.
Yesterday: I got a nap, took Laura to the airport and had a Sex and the City marathon with Lucie.
Today: I’m going to work on my WIR, play with the kid and then watch more SATC. That last one reminds me of Toronto. 🙂
I was going to say!! I think the last SATC marathon I had was back in Toronto 😛
Hope you had a great time at the wedding! It’s always much more fun when you know people there.
Yesterday I worked at the hospital, did laundry, and took care of errands and basic household tasks. Today’s another clinical day, but after my shift, I have plans to catch up on some writing before meeting my parents for dinner. Have a great Sunday!
Hope you’re having an amazing time! Yesterday we celebrated my dad’s birthday and today I have to catch up on life! Adam and I are also finally planning to go out for our anniversary although like Meredith said there’s supposed to be a huge storm, so we’ll see.
I need all of the wedding details including which shoes you ended up wearing and what type of tent there was lol…3 things yesterday – long run, went to my aunt’s beach house during the day and then took my son to a bar mitzvah party last night…3 things today – supposed to get a tropical storm so I don’t know! probably some errands and then we will see about the weather
Lol we’ll definitely talk all the deets when I get back. My wifi is so wacky right now! I hope the weather wasn’t too crazy for you – it’s been raining all day here!
