Hi there! How has your week been?
Isn't Rodney cute?
Mine has flown by. I feel like I'm still recovering from last weekend. My husband and I spent it kitty-sitting in Brooklyn, and it was so fun. The cat's name was Rodney(!), and he had a lot of energy, especially at 3:00 am!
Most of our friends live in Brooklyn, so we got to hang out with them, too. This weekend will definitely be more low-key - I'm thinking walks around the neighborhood and picnics in the park - but I'm hoping it's just as great!
Here are some of my favorite links this week:
Loved this post, Are You an Introvert or an Extrovert?, from Cup of Jo. I'm definitely an introvert, but I married an extrovert, which is common apparently. Which are you?
