Just putting this out there: I will probably never post anything other than a list of sorts on a Friday. By the end of the week, my brain is toast. Point form is the best I can do.
This week has been a bit grim. There have been a lot of horrific news stories in our neck of the woods, which I won't get into here. It's been one negative thing after another, and like Kanye says, "I got way too many blues for any more bad news."
So let's keep it light for, oh, five minutes. Here is a little roundup of some good things I've found on the interwebs this week:
Skinnytaste Cajun Chicken Pasta. We had this on Wednesday and leftovers yesterday. It's flavourful and creamy, but it's actually not a killer nutritionally. I love recipes that taste unhealthy but aren't.
21 ways to wear a chambray shirt. I bought a chambray shirt in the fall and so far I've only paired it with red jeans and black pants, since I'm not brave enough for the full-on Canadian Tuxedo. Turns out, there are a gazillion ways to wear it. Well, 21, at least. Some of these I don't love, like the maxi skirt, but there are still a solid 15-18 ways to wear a chambray shirt.
Reasons My Son Is Crying. As someone who is known for taking pictures of my own child in states of despair, I can appreciate this.
Typeracer. Most addictive game ever - you have been warned.
Remember that old email address you registered and never really used? Turns out it could be quite the hub of activity. I loved this article about eighteen@gmail.com.
Happy Friday!

Love Typeracer! It totally helped me procrastinate my way through my third year of grad school.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered it and am in love!
DeleteHow fast are you Amy? I can hit about 65...Brendan tried, realized he needed to use capital letters and punctuation and quit!
DeleteI just got an 86 but that was pretty speedy for me!
DeleteOu, not fun that there's a dark cloud over you/your community these days. Hoping it passes soon! I'm sick with a nasty flu, so thanks for the reading material... :)

DeleteI'm intrigued by chambray!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Amy, I've got a bit of a professional question for you! Not sure how I should ask... PM on twitter?
