1. Jovie
She doesn't have a tail (many of her breed don't) so she wags her entire back end when she's excited. It's so cute. We call her "wiggle butt."
2. Shelby
I got the following email from my friend Rachel: "When I visited your blog this morning, I had Shelby on my lap. When she
saw your picture, she slapped her little hands to her face and began
crying, 'Oh, no! Oh, no!' When I asked her what was wrong, she pointed
to your picture and said, 'Miss her.' I thought that was a pretty good
sign that we haven't seen you in far too long." So, needless to say, we're going to lunch today.
3. Dog Heaven
I love this children's book. I know several people who have lost pets recently, and we still miss Ruby so much. Dog Heaven
4. LOST
It's starting to make sense this season! Even when I don't get it, I still love it.
5. Demetri Martin
Whenever I'm tempted to have a tiny celebrity crush on someone, I like to find out if the crush is age appropriate. While Demetri might LOOK 21, he's actually three years older than me. Hurray!
"I think vampires must have an innate sense of style, because they look pretty good, but they can't see themselves in a mirror."
6.Foam Leg Roller
When you're training for a half-marathon (which I think I might be doing again), this little baby hurts SO good. Just looking at this picture makes my IT bands hurt. (Click the picture to read how it works.)
7. Coconut Popcorn
My Brother-in-Law Mike invented this, I think. You air-pop your popcorn, and instead of melting butter to drizzle over it, you melt Coconut Oil instead, and then you salt it as normal. It's not sweet at all, but there's a very slight coconut taste to the popcorn. And coconut oil is much better for your heart than butter is. It's the only way we eat popcorn anymore!
8. Atul Gawande
Brilliant physician/writer who has written three books (I'm working on The Checklist Manifesto at the moment) and also writes for The New Yorker.
9. Shades of Ray
Adorable and pitch-perfect romantic comedy that Travis and I watched on our anniversary.
10. Listography
Write about your life in list form. The lists are both helpful and hilarious! ("List bad things you did as a kid," "List your favorite restaurants," "List all the people you've kissed.")
