Howdy folks! Happy Friday! I don’t know about you but I’m counting the minutes until cocktail hour. (PS – Sarah once told me to go out on a limb and try this Pinot Grigio ($6.89 at Costco, WHAT???) and I’m so glad I did. It’s pretty darn awesome!) It’s been a great week around our house and even better on our plates. We’ve been eating super duper clean (I feel GREAT!) and so I think I’ve earned a little Friday night glass of something special. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into some tri tip tonight and coast into the weekend.
I plan to soak up some time at home because I’m going to be in the great state of Iowa all next week for work (and some play!) I’ll definitely be missing Garrett and Buster, but I really like Des Moines and haven’t been there in a while, plus I also get to squeeze in a little visit with AndreAnna! Fun, fun!
What are YOU up to this weekend? Cooking or reading anything fun? Please dish! And now…onto some links:
*****
*In the mood for a marathon? Uh, TV Marathon that is…I have enough running lately. 🙂 Check out The Best TV Shows for Binges
*Mark’s Daily Apple has had some good posts up lately. Not that he doesn’t regularly or anything, but I just particularly enjoyed: Why It’s Important to Cook Your Own Meals and 10 Psychological Hurdles Keeping You From Losing Weight & How to Overcome Them.
*I’m intrigued by this homemade electrolyte drink. Let’s be real, I’m equally intrigued by this recipe for Lava Flows because they make me miss Maui! (Hot damn, we had a fun time there!)
*I’m in a kitchen creating mood – I think I’m going to make these lemon bars this weekend.
*I love this post about resilience. Volatility is the new normal.
*Who couldn’t use a confidence boost? I liked these 10 Rules for Feeling More Confident and these 50 Self Esteem Quotes to Give Your Confidence a Boost.
*This tip about The Magic of Later is something I do ALL THE TIME! So useful!
*Need some web distraction? How about checking out 100 Websites You Should Know and Use.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
Holly, I pretty much always want to read everything you link to! Thanks for putting so much thought into your posts.
And thanks for linking to mine. I’m really flattered to be in such good company! 🙂
“In search of resilience” is one of the best (and longest) Seth Godin articles I’ve read in a long time. Thanks for pointing it out.
Ooh, you’re going to be in Des Moines? How long? Would you want to meet up for a cocktail?
I’m *ALWAYS* game for a cocktail. I’m staying at the Marriott downtown, maybe something around there? I have a company dinner Tuesday, but maybe Wednesday?
I think Wednesday works…just have to check with my husband. There are lots of great places to go downtown. If it’s nice, we could pick one with a patio.
Happy Friday! I’m going skydiving tomorrow (if the weather cooperates)… ahhhhh 😀
YAY VISITING WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I hope you still want to be my friend after a few days with my kids. Or, conversely, that you don’t tie your own tubes with my kitchen shears.
I kid. Mostly. 🙂
Thanks so much for including my post, Holly! Can’t wait to check out the other links too. 🙂
