I tried, Dear Reader. I wore you out this week and posted every week day. I’m spending too much time with fake people (i.e. my novel manuscript), and I wanted some personal interaction.
Thank you for spending time here.
Please enjoy a roundup of stuff I saw and liked online this week. Maybe it’ll yield good luck this Friday the 13th.
This video from The Atlantic. “Creative Ideas Happen When You Stop Checking Your Phone”
The Kitchen’s Garden List of 2015 Books to Read. I’m there, but you’ll find lots of other options vetted by choosy readers.
Sarah Cottrell wins at parenting with this Scary Mommy post: “To Hell With That ‘Brighten Up Your Day’ Crap When My Kid Is Sick”

Did you get to put the Christmas tree up yet? At least the sun is out, but you still need to get that tree up.
My online time this week has been delightfully limited.
I spend waaaaaaaaaaay too much time online, but it is an education unto itself! For instance, your reference this morning to SocksForVets led me to: http://booksforsoldiers.com/ How wonderful is this? I intend to share it to Facebook and then I’ve gotta get out of my pj’s; the morning’s half gone! 😀
thanks, andra. i’m going to check these out. always good to take a break and take a different path from time to time –
Thanks for sharing. Andra
I finally found your new comment box! I have been stopping at “comment on Facebook”. I’m part of the billions not on Facebook. I would love to switch worlds and not deal with people for a week or two.
I’ve been offline. I went to Houston to be with my mom for her surgery. That went well. So I don’t have any stories to share. I’m sorry to miss yours.
I get lost in some of the most ridiculous on-line reading while I’m at work. Those silly little articles that pop up in the side bar, like, “Which celebrity was a really ugly child and grew up to be a beauty?” or “Hideous Wedding Photos You Won’t Believe,”–very highbrow reading. I’m not proud of myself, just being honest. LOL!
