Your favorite shell is BACK!

"Life's a party, rock your body" - Marcel the Shell, 2014

And just in case you don't already know Marcel (or want to revisit his previous greatness):

Marcel the Shell with Shoes on Part One HERE and Part Two HERE 

Hump Day Distractions

Get your weekly dose of cooky (not much mysterious or spooky) here:

* Well THIS shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s ever eaten one of her fried, with a side of fried, topped with a little fried (completely delicious) meals. * The last segment of my love affair with Marcel (for now!) Check out his interview with Brian Williams. * If you could go back in time and re-create a moment captured by a photo, which one would you pick? 

* I want to own THESE (and THESE, and obviously THESE).

* Here’s a list of 25 clever ideas which will make you say “why didn’t I think of that!?” (thanks Sis!) 

* I think the “Sh*t ____ Says” video craze is getting a bit overdone, but this is hysterical and possibly the best one I’ve seen.

Hump Day Distractions

A promised, here are your weekly goodies from around the web (with a holiday theme of course!):

* 'tis the season to get your party on, but how "festive" you can be depends on where you work.

* Someday I will do this craft (there's been an empty tomato sauce jar sitting in my sink for the past 10 days... maybe in time for Valentines?) 
* I'm not sure about all 10 fingers, but how about making it an "accent" on one? (via Cup of Jo) 

* Get into the Channuka spirit (enough oil to out-do the Maccabis):  (not mentioned but a personal favorite: the latke appetizer at Noho Star ; 2 latkes topped with tuna sashimi, seaweed salad and a wasabi creme fraiche) 

* "guess why I smile a lot?... 'cause it's worth it" - Marcel the Shell (part 2). 

Hump Day Distractions

Starting a blog which promises a daily post Monday through Friday is an ambitious endeavor. Even those of us who seem to have an endless stream of words to share (eghm) worry about having “nothing to say” on occasion. I’ve decided to get out ahead of this potential crisis... welcome to “Hump Day Distractions”. Every Wednesday I’m going to take a break from the writing and simply scour the internet for share-worthy items.

* Sometimes they will make you LAUGH (this is the funniest thing you will read all day, possibly week, possibly ever)

* Sometimes they will make you want to SHOP

* Or COOK (Mac cheese is the best food ever invented. Do not debate this.)

* Or THINK

Mostly they’re an excuse to surf the web when you should be working (or sleeping or whatever it is that you’ve given up to spend a few minutes being merry each day).

* Over 14 million people LOVE MARCEL ... you should too

ps- did you know that when you search pinterest for “hump day” the majority of images in your search result are big round booties!? I tell no lies... You’re lucky you got Dr. Seuss (or not, depending on your preference:)
