Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 😀
How the heck are you?!? I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever, but at the same time, these past 4 days [in Cleveland with Meg] have gone by in the blink of an eye. I’ll recap bits and pieces of my trip in an upcoming post, but for now I’ve got some fantastijazzical links for you to enjoy while I’m packing my bags and making my way back home. Le boo.
I hope you find something you enjoy, and I hope you’re having a great weekend. I’ll see you soon with some more tasty food!

Ooh, can I join you for your rake s’mores party?? That looks awesome…odd, but awesome! Yesterday: Hung out with my awesome cousins, was gifted my first iPod touch, rode home on the train.
Today: Did a yoga workout, worked like crazy learning how to use the iPod, tried everything to kick my fast-developing flu.
Have a great upcoming week! Welcome home!
I have a standing desk at work, mainly so I don’t feel so guilty when I come home and sit on the couch… but I need to remember to get up and move more!
Yesterday: Coffee with a friend, caught up on Scandal, made pizza with a friend
Today: Nike Half-Marathon, brunch, SoulCycle
confession… I’ve ALWAYS been confused with nonfollow links. so thank you! and thank you for being so loving and kind. <3
Oh lady, I hear ya. I need to sit down and really figure them out myself. We should do it over coffee and banana bread.
I miss your blog posts! Keep them coming, but also take some time for yourself. Enjoy every minute of Ohio!
ahhhh you have to catch me up on your time in Cleveland!!!
Yesterday: went shopping for a birthday outfit (how is that in less than a week already?!?!), saw a few dudefriends I hadn’t hung out with yet since I’d been back, stayed up until 3-ish with chef-friend eating chips and guac and watching movies.
Today: went to the gym, gonna bake some cookies, and watch the walking dead tonight.
Less than a week??!?! Holy.snappish. That makes me sad because you were here last year 🙁
The one on adrenal fatigue was very interesting! I hope you have safe travels!
Ooooh, these are good links today. Yesterday I: Missed my race (I thought it was today), ran a long run to make up for it, watched Freddy’s soccer game. Today: Watch Jake’s rugby game, grocery shop, and meal prep for the week. Yay. Glad you had a fun trip and have safe travels back home!
Even though I knew the majority of links in here, I still read more than half of them. Go figure! I’m a link junkie apparently, and I miss you already. Oscar is sad too, although Sam is swinging from the chandelier. 🙂
Missing you and Oscar 😥 Sam not so much. I’m just happy she didn’t carry through with her [apparent] plans to snuff me out.
Can’t wait to catch up tomorrow! 3 thing yesterday – long run, shopping and lunch with Michele, out for dinner with my son. 3 things today – catching up on some work, errands and out for lunch.
I had to do a double take there because I first read that as “out for dinner with my 3 sons.” I was like… is there something you want to tell me? 😆
Have fun, can’t wait to hear about the trip!
I read that post on sitting. Super interesting but makes sense because not enough people are moving these days. I think back to when I was a kid how active I was. I think kids now are glued to their phones or iPads.
9.45am eh? Layover in Vegas with a mocktail.
I wish. Layover in Minneapolis with a bottle of water…
