Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week

  • How to Get More Likes on Facebook, The Oatmeal — This is BY FAR my favorite find of the week.
  • The Myth of Sustainable Meat, NY Times — Op-Ed about whether meat eating can ever be sustainable.
  • Sex and the Office: Evolving Depictions of Working Women, Slate — A slideshow of images depicting women in the office — Mad Men isn’t as fictional as we might like to believe.
  • Ten (Super Rad) Blog Post Ideas, Joy the Baker — Joy’s suggestions for when writer’s block hits, interspersed with pictures of her wonderful food
  • U.S. Tightens Rules on Antibiotics Use for Livestock, NY Times — farmers will have to get a prescription for antibiotics for sick animals rather than routinely giving antibiotics in feed.  Finally.
  • What’s Easter without a Whipping?, InCulture Parent — a post about the Czech tradition of men and boys whipping women on Easter.  I found this very troubling.

This week’s pins are all from my web design board. I started it not too long ago and am using it to link to websites that I like, plugins and tools, backgrounds, and inspiration images. If you are into website building or are managing your own site, this board will (hopefully!) be a good resource.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
