Happy Sunday, world! How are you? Is the weather pretty? Do you get to stay home from school or work tomorrow because of a winter break or President's Day? Long weekends are such a good thing, aren't they?
I'm one hundred percent in favor of one more weekend day, because I partied hard last night (cough cough, got home at 10 and immediately went to bed) and am spending today working and babysitting. Tomorrow will definitely be full of blog catching up and book reading and getting my life together somewhat ( I'm looking at you, college applications.) Whether you've got a long weekend or not, everyone could use a break, right? Kick back with your iPad and a glass of something delicious - here's what I'm reading!

I read a few pages of Fifty Shades when it first came out to find out what the buzz was about, and it's just not a good idea. Here's one perspective that I think sheds a lot of light on why something that (I think, at least) is so clearly wrong can be so wildly popular.

This bookshelf is so cool and rustic, and the DIY part doesn't sound nearly as intimidating as building a bookshelf should. My dad doesn't really need that ladder, does he?
Where do you fall with the whole Fifty Shades of Grey thing? Which of the seventeen things can you not wait to cross off your bucket list now?
I'll be right back here tomorrow with my super-embarrassing scholarship competition story, so get excited about that!
Until then,

I am late on the boat with the Serial podcast but now 3 episodes in I am loving it. So interesting.
ReplyDeleteI won't be seeing 50 Shades, I also haven't read the book. I figure time is of the essence and I would prefer to loose a few hours reading or watching something with a bit more substance. Not that I am a prude by any means.
Great links and thanks for joining us again down the ultimate rabbit hole.
