With record-breaking temperatures in our fair region and no central AC, I’m happy to be taking a little break and heading off to have some summertime adventures with my girls and their grandparents. We’ll be staying cool, going to see a show and spending lots of family time together.
I’m scheduling a pair of posts to be published while I’m gone that are a bit unusual for me, so while I don’t usually do this, I’m going to make a pretty blatant plea for comments on those. Pretty please with a cherry on top? I’ll make sure to get some computer time in so I can engage with the comments too; you’ll see why that might be useful.
In the meantime, why not go enjoy some other pursuits? If you’re in the mid-Atlantic, I suggest staying indoors or as close to a body of water as possible. Perhaps you’d enjoy a fresh new(ish) blog to read? If so, may I direct you to Hyperbole and a Half? This is one of my recent finds, and Allie manages to hit that precise and endearing combination of heartbreaking and hilarious that is the hallmark of all the best personal blogs. Try her posts on never becoming an adult, the awkward situation survival guide and the sneaky hate spiral, for starters, and thank me later.
thanks for pointing me toward hyperbole and a half! so funny! and i could use a little funny right now!
Jody–it really is a little treasure–I can’t believe I didn’t know about it till now! Glad you got a pick-me-up, hope everything is okay with you and yours.
What a great blog recommendation; I can’t wait to read more!
Me too–she’s the kind of blogger I wish would update every day, but her posts must be so time-intensive, with all the drawings, I can’t imagine how she could.
