Running SOOOOOO far behind on everything right now – and that damn surgery is on Friday!

But I did pull some links from last week:

I just discovered Catalog Living.

I think Anna could start a whole new blog on her thrifting “finds.”

I’m really enjoying Pauline’s “Story of Me.”

I can’t stop laughing at what Averill describes as looking like “baby shower games gone very, very wrong.”

I think most mothers can relate to this charming “pentagram” of family illness.

I loved seeing a respected design blogger courageously to write this very unexpected and personal post.

And I’ll be spending some of my post-op recovery time in bed (hopefully in bed) reading Stacey’s online romance novel.

How about you? Any great finds from last week?

My weekend (which I’ll have to tell you about later) and a blogging e-course I’m taking have put me a tad behind on my blogging schedule. And yes – I realize that intimation implies that I have some sort of a schedule…but you know what I mean.

So I’m a day late on my links. But I really do have some good ones:

The five stages of death and dying – hamster style

The funniest take on dieting that I’ve read in a while

The devil horns are in the details (or the viking horns – or whatever)

The best Black Swan review I’ve read yet (though I haven’t actually seen Natalie’s award winning performance…this makes a cause for not bothering)

The teacher tells it like it is!

And Chinese New Year pictures so amazing I can’t stop looking at them. In fact – I’ll wrap up with two:

Look for more must see/reads next week!

I wish I was here:

But instead I am at the hospital with Oliver for his MRI (nothing serious – his neurologist wanted to have it done to see what’s going on in the language centers of his brain).

Since I have nothing to chat about today, I thought I’d pull together a list of some of my favorite reads from last week. In fact – I think I’ll do this every week. Because I find some really good stuff you know…

This? Is an incredible piece of writing.

Ever take an e-course on blogging? This one sounds great.

My good friend wrote a GREAT article on female friendship.

My windows might benefit from this DIY tutorial on box valances.

Yes – he’s a catch – but SO IS SHE!

Jess LC (gorgeous jewelry) is looking for Ambassadors.

For about 10 minutes, this made me forget that the rest of the rest of the world existed.

I want to eat a dozen of these right now.

She isn’t just funny, she put words to something I experience every day.

An interesting discussion about the new online style/decor magazines.

I love a good come back.

Okay – I posted this link already – but it still induces my crying laugh, it’s so funny.

Aaaand…a little self promotion for my other blogs:

On Wishing True last week:

Adorable Valentines Day download
My new favorite paintings of interiors

AND – they’re having a White Sale on bedding, sleepwear and rugs this week – see details in today’s post.

So that was fun… I think I really will make it a weekly thing. I’ll report back on the MRI experience tomorrow.
