Linden's Pensieve

Today, Rob and I have been married for 3 1/2 years. And what a trip it has been! But this post isn’t about how much I love my dear hubby. It’s about how you can show your special someone how much you love him or her. If your sweetheart is hard to shop for (like [...]

Well! I have gotten behind, haven’t I? I don’t like excuses, but here is an explanation (there’s a difference!). Weeks 5 and 6 were the last two weeks of school. And it doesn’t seem to matter how organized I am, during those two weeks of any given semester, I’m bombarded with papers to grade, students [...]

I first came in contact with Johnny Virgil’s 15 Minute Lunch blog because Beth forwarded me his now-famous 1977 JCPenny’s Catalog post. Being the feed-reading maniac that I am, I subscribed to his blog because it makes me laugh (and we all know much much Linden loves reading funny blog posts!). Today, this little gem [...]

A few days ago, I shared a German website selling Cheeseburger in a Can for hikers and backpackers. Were you curious about how this cousin of Spam actually tastes? Me too! And now, thanks to The Something Awful Forum user Honk, we can read a description of Honk’s experience with Cheeseburger in a Can. He [...]

Or How Failure, Newness, and Big Choices, Bring Un-expected Clarity The Positivity Blog‘s Why You Should Never Be Afraid of Failure espouses a “When God shuts a door, he opens a window” mentality. I found comfort in the post not because I have a hard time dealing with failure, but for another reason completely. Christine [...]

I like reading the blog A Welsh View because it highlights the weird of the world. I like seeing things come across my gReader that make me laugh. This one was a doozy. Cheeseburger in a Can? Seriously? Upon closer inspection, I noticed a word I learned during Christmas at Berlin while watching Tatort, a [...]

Besides my best and closest friends blogs (plus here, here, here, and here), there aren’t too many blogs I read that I look forward to. Thankfully, though, I somehow came across Ohh, You Tasty Little Things, a simply delightful blog whose author bakes yummy treats, blogs about them, and includes mouth-watering photos of these delicious [...]

Okay, so I’m post-posting this (does that work?!), but at least I’m posting it! I have to admit that I am somewhat disappointed in myself. In 2007, from February until September, Sarah and I ran 3 or 4 times a week pretty regularly (minus a few weeks off because of vacation or pain). The last [...]

I read about I Want Sandy over on 43 Folders, one of the blogs I read to guide me as I try to become organized and productive. It is the most useful web tool I have found to help me stay on track. I knew it was for me when I read this on her [...]

I cannot believe it, but I have hit a weight milestone that I have been working towards for quite a long time. This morning when I weighed myself, I saw a number on the scale that I haven’t seen since the end of my freshman year at SMSU. This makes my BMI right at 25%, [...]
