1. Link-ups are great but there's few that I do regularly. Back in the heyday of all things community-driven in blogging (2012?), it was awesome to have a link-up for every day of the week. Now, not so much. And I'm good with that. I can post my own stuff and things on Thursdays if I want without hosting a link-up.
2. I'm not sure when this came about as the thing to do, but I've noticed that people tend to link up without actually linking back. Motives aside, that's just lazy. It's a pet peeve of mine now and I've come to look for it on all link-ups I participate in, just to see if it's happening everywhere and it does sometimes. It's like a student not putting a name on their paper...it takes 20 seconds. I don't think anyone is being purposefully inconsiderate; I do think that "hey maybe they linked up by mistake" when I don't see a mention of the link-up at the bottom of their post.
3. I think I would blog more if I didn't feel held to a schedule that revolved around Thursdays. I generally attempt a M-T-Th-F posting schedule. I have a lot on my plate at the moment so this link-up isn't something I plan on promoting or growing...so it likely needs to be removed from said plate.
4. I do want to thank the loyal bloggers and friends who have linked up regularly for the last few years. Even if I'm not providing a link, keep writing random Thursday posts because they're my favorite to read :)
So, anyway. This will be the last Stuff and Things link-up. I'll likely keep posting my own lists most weeks.
1. Who is watching The Bachelorette? Rachel and her dog: I'm in love. And Peter and the dog. I'm pretty sure I cried when Peter was dancing with Copper. This is game over. Cancel the rest of the season.
2. I'm going in to clean up my classroom today. Should be fun. My kind and thoughtful teammate already did all of the dirty work but I need to make sure things are in order before summer school starts next week (I'm not teaching but they'll be using my room).
3. I don't understand this cake. Like, WHY does it feel the need to be named what it's named? Is this Pinterest-bait? This is 110% just for attention, right? Someone trying to be extra-cooler than the other food bloggers? Someone retweeted it yesterday and then it popped up on Pinterest and I clicked just to see if there was a justification for the name. I found none. No one is denying the existence of the brookie...it's a thing, I know. But this is, hands down, the dumbest click-bait I've seen on the internet lately. (And I've spent a lot of time on the internet lately.)
4. Yesterday, I did the dishes for the first time since Sunday (just thought I'd share).
5. Yesterday, I got dressed for the first time since Friday, May 19th. That was a pretty solid effort on my part, to keep t-shirts and pajama shorts going for as long as possible.
Mostly because I wanted to wear my new sandals. Target.
