I just read Sabrina’s post and decided to steal the idea. BTW, if you haven’t checked out her blog yet, do it today. She’s awesome!
Five Totally Random Thoughts Swimming Around My Head Today…
A little something I saw on Pinterest recently. Cool, right?
- I am so addicted to Pinterest that I get disappointed when I’m on another site and they don’t have a “scroll to top” button.
- Last week I started watching a new show on HBO called The Newsroom, and I am in love. It is a smart, quick, funny show about the state of our news programs (and society as a whole). I am personally so disgusted with major news network anchors reporting trashy celebrity gossip as news. I can turn to E News if I want that. When I’m watching the nightly news, I want REAL news. The idealist in me hopes that this show takes off and people start demanding more from our news/media outlets. Aaron Sorkin is back!
- I am so thankful that several months ago a Groupon led me to the joys of threading. I had an appointment today, and it is just so quick and easy. It’s cleaner than wax (which used to break me out sometimes) and it’s cheaper, too, since all that’s used is cotton thread. It’s slightly more painful than waxing, at first, but it also seems to last longer. If you haven’t tried threading and they offer it in your area, I’d recommend giving it a try.
- I’m just about to finish The Night Circus, and I seriously don’t want it to end. I have loved reading it. So much so that I’m going to offer it as a choice to my students as outside reading. Next up is The Next Best Thing. If you want to follow my reading list, become my friend on Goodreads. What are you reading?
- I’m cooking dinner for my sister tomorrow night, and we’re trying something new to both of us – grilled tofu. After quite a search, I’ve found a marinade using Sriracha that isn’t going to turn our mouths to fire. If it’s as good as I’m hoping, I’ll post a new Bella Cooks in a couple of days.
My weekend plans don’t extend past some workouts (Zumba, gentle yoga, a possible bike ride, yin yoga, and walking Sofi), so I’m hoping to connect with a couple of friends and go to a movie – any recommendations?
Have a fabulous weekend!!

Thanks for the link-up, friend! 🙂 I love the scroll to the top button too! Every site needs one, seriously!
Grilled tofu! I wanna see what you girls do with that! Enjoy!
Oh — and go see Spiderman! It rocked my socks but I love all Marvel movies!
I saw the preview for Spiderman, and the story itself looked really good. I think my friends and I have decided on To Rome with Love for this Sunday, but Spiderman can go on the to-see list.
I’m listening to the night circus on audible right now…though I hear it’s better ‘read’ actually in print. Love all your updates, Bella!
That pic is awwwwwwwwwsome!
You make me want to read more and make my own goodreads account 🙂 good influence 😉
I just added you as a friend on Goodreads. I am always looking for a good book to read. I’ve added The Night Circus to my list.
I usually do the eyebrow threading too. I agree that it lasts a little longer and there’s no skin irritation as with waxing.
Have a nice weekend!!
Oh, great! I’m happy to connect with you on there.
Enjoy your weekend!
I felt the same way about news, then we got the second dish, which meant we get RAI International (Italian), Euronews (English I guess?, not country specific), BBC (English), CCTV (Chinese in English), RT News (Russian in English) and a few others — now we watch almost exclusively international news. Infinitely preferable!
And I like threading too, though I don’t do it as often as I should.
What a great way to change your perspective!
I loved Night Circus!
