Friday links! Weight & how to gain it, the singles scene and a free photo book

  • I’m sharing Amanda’s reaction to losing One Measly Pound with you just for the last paragraph. (Technically, I guess it’s the penultimate paragraph. But I think you’ll figure out which one I’m talking about.)
  • While we’re on the subject of losing weight, there are Chicken Pot Pie and chocolate toffee cookies happening at the Smitten Kitchen this week, and they’re making me want to fall of the wagon.

  • Simple Mom has a promotional code for a free photo book that she’s like to share with you. I hadn’t heard of Inkubook before, but I’ll happily try it out for free and it won’t work with my Mac.
  • Would you like to buy a monkey? I would.
  • Friday links! Chicken challenges, soggy slides and more politics

  • Have you seen the ad where the family can’t put together a meal at the grocery store for $10? So they go to KFC? An Iowa City chef took it as a challenge and wrote about it at Grist.
  • The last time we ran into a rainy-day slide problem, Poppy dried it off with her bottom. This is a better plan.
  • Newsweek has a fascinating behind-the-scenes series on the presidential campaign.

    The post that’s been bringing the Monday music people here is just a list of songs that I happened to listen to on a Monday. I’m sure they’ve been disappointed, and I don’t like being a disappointment. So I have good news for you on this Tuesday, Monday music people. I’ve done some research on your behalf. Here, just for you, are some songs about Monday:

    Now, I hope you’ll satisfy my curiosity and leave a comment here. I’d love to know why you need to find a song about Monday. Thanks, Monday music people!
