What are you up to this weekend? My step-niece and her girlfriend are coming over for brunch tomorrow. We’re planning to eat bagels, drink orange juice, and play this funny game. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web…
On Big Salad today, I introduced my new boyfriend! Eeks, I feel giddy. (I wanted to introduce him on Big Salad first, since the boys haven’t met him IRL yet.)
Whoa, I love this whole outfit.
A former drinker asks, am I addicted to running? “I remember the first time I ran twice around the park, I thought, I can just keep going. I don’t ever have to stop.” (Vogue)
What a sweet photo of French people reading.
The best butter. (Do you agree?)
How a Wyoming family raised three boys in this 665-square-feet home. “I designed bunk nooks for the boys, each with its own curtain for privacy… I realized, too, that personal space could be found, not only in square footage, but also in time. When the boys were younger, I would arrange for two to be away for a weekend and the third to be the only boy home, so he could have the loft all to himself for an entire weekend.”
A fake bear commits insurance fraud. Many lols.
In praise of post-divorce sex. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, PhD, started ‘pleasure mapping’ to learn what she did and didn’t like. This is when you “massage different parts of your erogenous zones and note down what feels good and what doesn’t to create your own yes, no, maybe list.”
How beautiful are these layered watercolors?
Plus, three reader comments:
Says Sarah on 10 gifts for brothers: “Yay! Gift guides!! My brother is so hard to shop for. Last year, I made a suggestion to him: going forward, we gift each other a book that we loved reading that year. He loved the idea and texted me recently that he bought my Christmas present. I can’t wait to see the book he chose!”
Says SJF on 10 gifts for friends: “I’ve read Cup of Jo for years but this is my first comment. I made a donation to the National Network of Abortion Funds this morning and thought of it as a little gift to all of you in the States, with love from Germany.”
Says Louisa on fall uniform inspiration: “I saw ‘crew, turtle, soufflé, alpaca’ and then ‘wide-leg, washable, textured, satin’ and imagined the hardest NYTimes Connections categories ever.”
