Hi, everyone! How’s it going?
My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary in two parts. Part one: finding a cool local cocktail bar that serves gourmet hot dogs and grilled cheese. Part two: eating a charcuterie spread in bed while we watched Dropout programming. Hell yeah!
I also left my phone at home and was left alone with my thoughts on my commute. However, it was the perfect excuse to open my kindle (and pray that it had battery). I started a book and IT’S BEEN SO GOOD. Guess I just need to throw my phone out the window.

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!


Love the Lucy Mangan article! The guaranteed happy ending in romance is so underrated. I get lots of stories about misery in the real world. I know that misery and unhappiness and bad endings happen. Happy endings provide some hope and solace in the world.

@Amanda, belated happy anniversary wishes to you and your partner!
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you for the article about the creative reuse stores. I have boxes of fabric that I purchased when I was younger an sewed often. And now I’ve found a local shop that may appreciate my stash more than the thrift store that receives our usual household donations.
