Hump Day on Delay...

a very witty Disney store employee

Keepin pretty busy over here but not so busy that I'm going to skip over sharing some of the goodies I've scouted out around the web. Because no matter how crazy your day is, you probably need to see pandas loving going down a slide, a walrus working out and something interesting to skim-read on the toilet. AmIRight!? Happy Thursday everybody!!

* How to outsource your life - everything from at home beauty treatments and personal chefs to someone who will actually run your errands for you!

* Because you've always wanted to see a walrus workout (the leg-lifts at :40 and 1:05 sit ups at are my personal favorites)

* I sure do love you Shel Silverstein.

* I'm a little nervous about this announcement. What about Mary Murphy and the hot tamale train!? 

* GDub love for life (college friends really are such special friends... want to come over and nap!? hehe)

* Well don't you look tasty and healthy!!

* What turning 30 means in three extremely accurate charts.

* These pandas are having pretty much the best day ever.

Hump Day Distractions

Winter Weather Humor.

Hello Wednesday, aka 3rd work day of 2015... how are y'all fairing? I am hanging in, trying to maintain my vacation zen while attacking work and coping with jet lag. I stayed in bed, in and out (mostly out) of light sleep from about 4:45 to 7am today before finally giving in, getting up and getting to work (the love/hate relationship with working from home continues). I probably should have exercised, but it's 20 degrees outside right now so let's take this 1 undesirable task at a time shall we!? No matter what timezone you're functioning in, here are some goodies from around the web to help us get one day closer to the weekend. Enjoy!

* An adorable, free printable 2015 calendar!

* That time a young man thought he could out-muscle Gaston...

* And while we're talking Disney, did you know that President Grant from Scandal was the voice of Tarzan!? Find out what all the princes look like HERE.

* Turns out the queen size bed just might be what's making Dr. H and I happy!

* Coming soon to my slow cooker.

* Assuming we trust the internet and this is real, this Grandfather is a hero.

* Say hello to your new 3-ingredient chocolate lover:)

* Working hard on THIS.

* Adorable-overload = a baby panda enjoying the season's first snowfall.

These things happen...

Beauty & the Beach.

Sometimes it's 9pm-ish on a Sunday night and your waiter is telling you that "martinis are like boobs: one is not enough, two is just right and three is one too many." I'm proud to say that I stopped at "just right," but "just right" is still a lot for a Sunday. So forgive me if all I've got for you is this adorable hedgehog getting a bath:

rub-a-dub-dub

And perhaps a brilliant idea like THIS:

citrus mint ice cubes: so ready for this summery treat

This kinda creepy yet totally adorable baby panda just wants
to remind you to stop and smile, even though it's Monday

So don't forget to cook something yummy this week, maybe THIS:

Avocado Mac Cheese, recipe HERE
(there is no better mer/dr. h dish alive)

And of course, remember THIS:

Until tomorrow... :)

Hump Day Distractions

Do not surrender! We're halfway there!!

Welcome to Wednesday my merry friends! It's all kinds of toasty here in NYC so I suggest we turn up the AC and hump this week out together.

* Pluto hasn't been a planet in over five years (and other things that will make you feel OLD!)
* Obviously I taste as I go (who doesn't do that!?) but I'm making a ton of these common cooking mistakes... until now!

* Dog vs. Bubble

* A great read about the relationships we form with our Nannies (of the caregiver, not grandmother variety)

* "I think it's a book about a haunted theme park and it stars a magical magic guy and he's good and evil and he's trying to get rid of the ghosts" - a 6 year old's guess as to the plot of The Great Gatsby based on the cover art.

* Take me to the dollar store, I have dishes to make! (Has anyone ever tried this? Does it really work!?)

* Looking for fifteen friends to take a bike ride in Des Moines, Iowa with me. (via IowaGirlEats)

* When it's time to sleep, it's time to sleep (doggy style).
