The Weekender

Hiiii! I hope you’ve had a great weekend. Mine has been fun – I had a great run, did some shopping at J.Crew and got to spend some time with a bestie. Maizey had a play date with Annie the Bulldog (who is not so little anymore) and I got to hang out with Annie’s mom, Allison.

However, I’m feeling a little under the weather this evening. So it’s 9 PM and I’m already in bed. After this post goes up, I’ll read a little more of the Steve Jobs biography and turn off the lights, hopefully before 9:30. I love turning out the lights before 10. It feels so indulgent.

The Weekender

• Haters gonna hate. Here’s some great advice on how to deal with haters in the world wide web.

• Ever wondered what the “best” sweeteners are? Or the worst sweeteners? You might be surprised by some of this article’s contentions.

• After blogging for 11 years (daaaang!), Dooce captures the love of blogging in this post so well.

• The Pure 2 Raw twins shared some great links on twitter this week, including an article about the importance of getting protein from plant-based food and why you should worry about getting protein from plants rather than meat.

• Melt that chocolate Easter bunny and make this drinking chocolate. And then invite me over for some.

• As a fellow shorty (I’m 5’1″), I’m newly obsessed with the fashion blog Extra Petite.

What time do you go to bed? I try to be in bed by 10, but it’s usually closer to 10:30 or 11.
