Have a jazzy weekend

Happy Friday, friends! What do you have planned for the weekend? Yesterday, my mother was mopping the floor and slipped, so I’ll be making sure she sits down and rests this weekend — she’s just a barrel of energy, so it will be quite the challenge! You’d think she’d use the incident as an excuse not to clean, but her Type A personality always seems to get in the way! I hope you have a great weekend, and here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…

I want to travel here…doesn’t it look so tranquil?

Cozy blankets for those freezing fall nights.

I’d love to sail away in this hot air balloon, wouldn’t you?

Kids do the darndest things.

I’d love to wear this shining star around my neck.

Steve Jobs’s last words.

More famous last words.

Is this not the cutest cat you’ve ever seen?

A masquerade wedding.

Beautiful eyes.

Do you like eggs? Try this trick.

Do you scare easily?

An amazing heart-shaped tree.

Marriott’s longest extended-stay guest checks out.

I’m going to start using these work-from-home tips.

Would you try these ice cream flavors?

My mouth is watering over this cookie dough dip! Genius!

Breakups: Dos & Don’ts.

What are you thankful for?

Remember this post about glasses? Here are more awesome pairs.

Don’t worry, be happy.

    Hope you're having a good weekend!

    The comments on the Steve Jobs post were very interesting in addition to the post itself. Wonder what percentage of people hear or see things?

    Christian Louboutin
    If you want to find the most suitable shoes for yourself, the only way is trying. Christian Louboutin shoes can supply you all kinds of shoes. Like sneakers shoes, Christian Louboutin high heels and other styles shoes and so on. As long as you try to put on them, you always can find what you want to have.

    I'm not sure which post to comment on… this will work I guess.
    I am a teen aged girl and I just found your blog and you will never know how much it meant to me. Reading your posts gave me EXACTLY what I needed in my life right now, it is amazing to me.
    I don't usually comment on blogs, but I had to ask you… if you could, would you choose not to have been born with the disability you were born with? I know you have probably been asked that a million times and it's probably not an easy question to answer (or maybe it is?), but I am curious because, as I'm sure you know, you are such an encouragement to so many people. Obviously, inspiring people is not necessarily an even exchange for health. But I always think… would I have been different if this small (or big) thing in my life had/hadn't happened? Probably. Actually, yes, there is now way I wouldn't be. And you have made my life different. Really. Anyhow, sorry for the rambling and disorganized thoughts. I can't write like you can! Your blog is really amazing. I really hope you know HOW pretty you are. I would seriously die for your gorgeous hair. πŸ™‚
    Thank you so much!

    I love that poached egg trick (my husband would love it more!) and the tree is just another reminder of the beauty of nature!

    I love this length!

    It’s flattering for everyone, can match almost any dress style and silhouette, and is low

    maintenance.

    I am inspired to add a flyaway or 2 to my new collection πŸ™‚

    Great article!
