This Week

I switched things around this week, with the Travel Tip and This Week post.  I’m already mentally checked out and in dire need of some family time (currently in PA for my big brother’s birthday) and vacation (headed to Miami shortly thereafter).  Consider this your final summer installment of “This Week” – and have a great LONG weekend!

  • It’s a mystery as to how I’ve managed to be successful, as I don’t do ANY of these things.  But I need to.
  • Even though I’m escaping most of the NY Fashion Week madness, I found Hallie’s post on preparing for the madness to be an excellent read.
  • The Work Talk Show is one of my favorite podcasts (#GSD y’all), and this episode is one of my favorites.
  • I’m newly obsessed with Blue Apron, and have earmarked this dish to prepare once I get a break from traveling.
  • After reorganizing my desk last weekend, I want to add this notebook and this to-do pad to it.  See my not-so-new-but-improved workspace here.
  • I refuse to acknowledge anything about the VMAs (except that *NSYNC’s performance was WAY too short). Instead, I give you Syria and why you need to be updated on the situation.
  • Instead of Googling all the things to do, I’m streamlining my Miami vacation with booking paddleboarding lessons through Peek and dinner reservations on OpenTable.  #technologyftw
