I recently realized that I would be remiss in my duties as your internet BFF if I kept posting Web Time Wasters on Fridays. Because, you guys? Sundays are a snooooooooze on the interwebz! Nobody’s posting anything new, everybody’s off brunching or nursing hangovers. But come 3 p.m. you really kind of want to hunker down and look at funny pictures of cats and read cultural commentary, amiright?
On an vaguely related note, the above photo makes me think that I need to make a post entitled “Cute Baby Animals in Buckets. Also: Drawers. And Maybe Flower Pots.”
Awesome stuff from the internet!

Super interesting! What it’s like to live on the road, in a hotel.
Do you think Jessica Simpson is stupid? The media would certainly have us believe she is. Yet girlfriend has a fashion empire that earns almost as much as Michael Kors. Hmmm….
I knew there was a reason! Why we all love websites and photos of neatly arranged stuff.
You may remember my daliances with online dating? A good article on how to navigate match.com et al.
Illustrations of dogs wearing hats. I’ll take 15, please.

Wow. Lily lost her battle with Cyctic Fibrosis, but while she was alive she kept
an amazing blog as a “resource for people living with serious illness and other health issues to help them lead fulfilling, positive lives. To help them look at the joy around them and to assist them in achieving their dreams and goals because I believe that your health should not hold you back, it just means you have to be a bit more CREATIVE!!”
