HIII APW!
It’s my birthday! If you think I’m sitting at my computer right now, you think wrong. Though I haven’t been… what’s the word… sleeping, thanks to some horrific teething, I’m still aiming for a good day. Maddie’s taking me out to get a manicure, so that’s a start, and then there is a baby bounce house thing happening, so where could we go wrong?
But enough about me, let’s talk about you for awhile. Open thread, you go first!
XO,
MEG
Highlights of APW This Week
Our first edition of Ask a Psychologist, where is this relationship going?
Putting together a potluck wedding reception. Useful whether you’re from Florida, or perhaps Brooklyn.
When you can’t remember your awesome wedding day without remembering the awful months leading up to it.
I didn’t want to be a swan anyway.
Working on being kinder to each other, one cup of coffee at a time.
Proposals! Tricky things even when there’s just one to plan, let alone two.
Link Roundup
Maddie says this is funny; I’m dyslexic.
The case for paying college athletes. Explained at length on Colbert and The Daily Show this week.
The best op-ed we’ve seen of the “one shitty thing” theory.
What one man learned from Tweeting with a black woman’s avatar.
Photos of the bathrooms and kitchens of America’s bachelors. The text is sort of horrible, the pictures, well. Perhaps parents need to teach their sons about… cleaning?
The art of succeeding slowly, and the importance of side projects.
Are you a feminist? Bless you, Buzzfeed.
