FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Read that as if it were Buddy the Elf when he see’s Santa in the mall.
It is Friday and I am excited about it, in case you didn’t get that from the first line of this post. It has been a long, busy week and I welcome the weekend and all of the free time it brings with wide-open arms. Now only if the weather would cooperate…
Here are a few links from the week (and from last week-sorry!):
We went for about two weeks with only daffodils to provide any color to the yards around here. Then, all of a sudden, something snapped this week and blooms emerged from all of the trees! Well, almost all of the trees. I’m still holding my breath for that overwhelming fishy smell of the Bradford Pear trees. Dogwoods tend to bloom later than other trees in our area, but their white and pink blossoms are well worth the wait. This North Carolina writer understands that. Virginia, you’re cool and all, but taking it as your state flower and your state tree? Where’s your creativity?
Just in time for Easter, isn’t this bunny baking pan adorable?!
As I come to the tail end of a busy work week in an job that seems to get busier each week, this article resonates well. It is acceptable, and healthy even, to step away from the emails. The world will not end if we are out of the office. Let’s remind ourselves of that every now and then.
Speaking of the workplace, for my fellow bright-eyed, bushy tailed, hard-working, recently employed friends, and those who are soon to join us, a new job can sometimes make you feel out of place, young and inferior. On the spectrum of confidence, I don’t rank highly. But I’m working on it. This article is a great place to start for tips on how to develop confidence in the workplace.
On the topic of confidence (oh, the segways!), this woman took the “year without makeup” challenge. Most of us use makeup as a confidence boost, but it she learned a different kind of confidence without it.
This one is a little late, but still cool! The great people at ThinkGeek.com polled Americans on their favorite flavor of a popular dessert pastry and made an infographic about it. Behold, favorite pies of America. Ultimately it tells us that Montana needs to get their sweet on, Idaho must have a sea of lemon groves amidst their potato fields and if I were to choose a place to live based on pie preferences, I would be moving to New Mexico.
And for your viewing pleasure: every angle of this Austin townhome is fun, bright and Pinterest worthy. Feast your eyes.
Happy Friday! Enjoy the beautiful new blooms!
