Remember how I complained about having too many unread posts in my Google Reader a couple weeks ago? Well, you’ll be happy to know that I a) cleared all those posts out of my reader, may they rest in peace and b) I unsubscribed from several blogs that either didn’t interest me anymore or simply posted too much content for me to keep up with.
Also, a side note. I just realized that I titled that links post “Weekend Links, 4.21.11.” Clearly I need to spend more time with a calendar.
Now that I’ve de-cluttered and re-organized my blog reading, I’m not overwhelmed anymore. (Well, I’m overwhelmed by some other things right now. But reading blogs is, thankfully, not one of them.) Here are my favorite posts from the past couple of weeks:
- for those of you who don’t comment on blogs | chatting at the sky
{I love how Emily shows her readers such grace here.} - Marriage Needs Community » Sarah Markley at Allume
{Mark and I have been talking about this a lot, so I love Sarah’s take on the topic.} - Game Night & Hosting In the Midst of Fibro :: Learning to Trust
{This is a perfect example of giving up on perfect from my friend Rochelle.} - Boston calling. | Annie Blogs
{I adore Annie and pretty much everything she does, but this post spoke to my heart more than most anything I read last month.} - 15 Things I Want to Do Before My Daughter Leaves Home | Moosh in Indy at Babble
{I love the way Casey included both her own accomplishments and goals with things she wants to do with or teach her daughter. Great bucket list!} - In which I wonder about Pinterest :: Sarah Bessey
{“Pinterest is the fantasy league of consumerism . . . we pin the life we wish we had.” Brilliant. Thought-provoking. True.} - Implausibles, Assemble!: Other Hollywood Character Pile-Ups We’d Like To See :: Monkey See – NPR
{I would totally go see The Advisors. This weekend.} - The Crumbs We Haven’t Been Waiting For :: Josh Riebock
{Small victories are worth celebrating. The end. Um, except he writes it way more eloquently than that.} - Compassion Bloggers In Tanzania May 6-12 | Shaun Groves
{I’ll be following along and supporting the Compassion bloggers next week. Will you?}
So, who has festive plans for Cinco de Mayo? (That’s today, if you are also calendar-challenged.) Nothing exciting going on at our house, other than a meeting for church, a possible shopping trip for a baby pool, and a marathon viewing of the last four episodes of Missing. (Are you watching that? We love it.) I’m sure we’ll eat Mexican food at some point this weekend, but that’s no different than any other weekend in my life.
In case you decide to be a little more festive than that and need ideas for Mexican dishes to make, here’s a list of several that I’ve made and here’s a super easy recipe for homemade salsa. As the most-annoying-high-pitched-voice-ever Dora would say, delicioso!
