The Weekender

by Teri on August 28, 2010 · 34 comments

Happy Saturday! It’s been a productive one for me so far. Body Pump. Then Body Flow. Then sitting on the couch whimpering while my biceps trembled. Then cleaning. Then Costco. Then feeling broke. Now blogging. :)

There were SO many great reads this week. Enjoy!

The Weekender
  • How much digital downtime do you get? After this article, I’ve been working on not checking my iPhone at every stoplight, while waiting for spreadsheets to open, while brushing my teeth, etc. :)
  • This is an oldie but a (very) goodie from Emily’s blog. I have it bookmarked and read it every month or so. It’s about portion control and how she builds her meals with balance.
  • My cowboy brother Roger somehow (stupid other brothers) found out that I blogged about him. He commented on this post and here. You have to scroll over his name to look at the links he provided for his “website” on each comment. LOL.
Other things you should know:
  • I’m terrible at updating my Blogroll. But I’m trying to add a couple new links each week instead of trying to add dozens all at once every couple months. So, if you’re looking for new reads, check it out!
  • We have a definitive answer on the pronunciation of Vibrams! Lindsay Von (not that Lindsay Vonn) works for an outdoor retailer and the Vibram rep was in last week. The rep told her and she told me that the correct pronunciation is….VEE-bram. Damn you Rob! ;)
Today’s Question:

What is this? If you know, have you ever had it?

It’s one of my favorite things ever ever ever. It reminds me of my childhood. :)

1. Spaghetti squash. Know it and LOVE it. Best roasted with about ten cloves of garlic, mmmm.

2. Thanks for the link! Wishing I had exercised that same portion control at tonight’s dinner – whoops!

3. I LOVE your weekender posts. Look forward to them every week!

Spaghetti squash! Nope, never had it, but I’ve been meaning to use it for a pasta dish one of these days. I don’t see it at the super market very often though :( Do you know when its in season? Fall?

Stupid other brothers? Mmmmm. Cannon time may be severely limited. Perhaps another ‘S’ word; Stellar, smart, stupendous, striking, superb, spectacular… those are just a few ideas.

I love your highlights and totally agree that Heather’s project rocks.

I have no clue what’s in the little bowl which most likely means, I haven’t had it….

You has spaghetti squash growing up?? I’m impressed! I first had it a few years ago and while I do like spaghetti squash, I go through phases. PS: <3 your blog….it's so cute!
