Weekend reading

Looking through my enormous reading list, I often find things I keep meaning to share but just haven't. I've been storing some of these away for 6 months.  These topics are random and many have nothing to do with any others.  If I've already shared some, I apologize.  Too much going on these days.  You know how it is.

Is Advocare healthy?  I know a ton of folks on the Advocare train.  This kinda sums up my thoughts on it.  I don't proclaim to be an expert, but Scott tried it last year so I'm pretty familiar with how it's supposed to work.

A ranking of Disney channel original movies.  I agree with number one.

Why are your $68 shorts from Stitchfix only $25 at Nordstrom rack?  This cemented my decision to not reinstate my Stitchfix subscription.  Think what you could buy at a J.Crew outlet or something with that money you're spending…

Do you have a Fad Name?  This was fascinating.  I have a witch's hat name.


Problems of the directionally-challenged.  That would be me.  I turn my phone in the proper direction so I can orient myself with Google Maps and I lose my car in parking lots often.  

Things you'll find at every basic girl's house.  Proudly, I'm not guilty of a lot of these.  Just #14 through #18.  

A warning to young people to not become teachers.  I love my job.  But I could give you a list of 100-plus things I am dissatisfied with.  How can I still love a job like that?  I don't know. We are what we are, right?  I'd have a hard time recommending this career to an 18 year old.  

A post on why someone would choose not to adopt a dog.  Neither of our dogs are rescues and I never thought about that much.  Obviously we have our reasons for buying 6 and 8 week old puppies, but I never thought people would attack others over the fact that they didn't rescue their pet.  

Guilt getting in the way of health.  This article speaks to the way I've felt over the last year.  I'm working on a post.  Robin just writes so eloquently though, don't you think?

Let the 3 day weekend commence!  I was given a gift card to a salon, so I'm off to get my hair cut.  And then the painting of the house continues.  I'm working with some yellows today.
