I hope this little project of mine brings you at least a smidgeon of joy from time to time.
:) took a quick look at your blogs & I loved Franny & Zoey too & cookies & vivid dreams & Lady Gaga & I’m a sort of vegetarian / or at least I try to be. :)
stumbled upon this while doing a google search, am vegetarian also and may be moving to the pacific northwest….so I was intrigued….
Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer! The PNW is my favorite part of the country. If you end up moving, welcome!!
Hi! I just stumbled acrross you’re blog and it’s lovely :-)
You are awesome! If you need/want any Seattle teacher friends, please let me know (as I am one, and need/want same). You should stop by Nordstrom and see the new Kate Spade typewriter bag, which I covet but will never be able to afford ($475!):

Also, you may be interested/horrified to know that Kate Spade apparently doesn’t have enough to do, what with her handbag empire, but publish a collection of short stories (with a kind of awesomely long, david foster wallace-esque title:

Also, you should know about the online-only Lonny UK mag:

Also (in the interest of full disclosure), I’m friends with Shawn. ;) I can vouch for his amazingness. Just saying.
Thank you for the kind words + fabulous links! I loved your post about motivation. I recently watched an amazing TED video that suggested similar flaws with our carrot-stick approach to motivation.
P.S. I, too, am jonesing for that typewriter bag. It’s amazing. But $475? Why, Kate, why?!
