Hump Day Distractions

Holiday Cheer. (hehe)

I think the most important thing to tell you right now is that last night I had bread that had bacon baked INTO it. You heard me, bacon embedded within fluffy, perfectly toasted, freshly baked bread. Blue Ribbon Bakery Kitchen, you are a sly little devil... And because maybe you aren't going to be distracted by the idea of bacon bread all day the way I will, here are some goodies from around the web to get you through Hump Day.

* This actually, kind of makes me want a pair of hamburger earmuffs for myself!

* Absolutely horrible and still completely hysterical... gotta love a good pun.

* THIS is the way every "year-in-review" holiday card should be done (ps- MILF/DILF much!?)

* I think I need THESE golden beauties...

* Lego creations by state, because toys aren't just for kids (be sure to click the individual images for the witty captions and a chance to buy each print for only $22!!) (via HonestlyWTF)

* A might tasty winter pasta recipe.

* A fantastic gift for your favorite New Yorker (eghm!!!)

* And speaking of New York... I'd never noticed the little black and white striped signs on subway platforms before, but now I always look.

* I must ride THIS swing.

* And lastly, we've seen some of these before, but they are just SO good. 

Tis the season of mail!

keep up the good work little buddy!

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the sudden influx of "snail mail" I receive. After months of nothing but catalogues, solicitations and even the occasional empty mailbox, I'm now greeted daily by snowmen, photos of smiling children and glitter (obviously I love holiday cards with glitter). Come December, I look forward to collecting my mail  each evening because the holiday season is like a retro, pre-email moment in time when checking your mailbox is cool again (did anyone else LOVE getting the mail as a kid or am I the lone dork here!?)

Though many complain that holiday cards are a pain to send out (they are) I'm really glad that people still do it. I admit, it's tempting to opt for the speed and convenience of a digital hello or to let the hustle of the season eat up your "addressing envelopes time", but for me, nothing beats a colorful envelope bearing some ridiculous USPS stamp with my name on it. So dust off your address book, find the most beautiful/absurd/sentimental cards left on the shelf (or make a photo card, you know peeps dig the photo cards) and get mailing.

Hump Day Distractions

Bigger is better?

Peeps. You must forgive me. I have a slew of awesome distractions bookmarked for you on a computer that I'm not close to today. F. Thankfully, I'm skilled in the art of internet procrastination, so here's what I can remember of those links and a few others to hold you over until I can deliver the mother load tomorrow. Happy Hump Day!

* Last week's new recipe experiment made for a delicious dinner. So easy, so tasty. 

* I've always wondered what a foldable Dr. H would look like (via CupofJo)

* These families are the cream of the holiday card crop.

* Oooooh Brookstone.

* What an awesome idea for Christmas time brides... (via Snippet&Ink)

* I aspire to take a road trip this awesome (who's with me?)

* I bet you Christmas at these people's houses is AWESOME. (I have no idea the proper grammar for that sentence.)
