O.M.G. that "interview" with the sisters was too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteBurritos the size of your head? My goodness, I need to scout this place out! Even if I can't find it, I may have to settle for the taco truck. Which isn't as thrilling as a beastly burrito, but still delectable, nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Katie
I think I might try the shrimp rolls this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose burritos will be Huge!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRed dresses are essential for every vacation!
ReplyDeleteRocking one in Brussels right now :-)
That Jimmy Fallon video is hilarious! Apparently, there's an entire series! Jimmy Fallon doing Neil Young doing Willow Smith, "Whip My Hair" (Maybe he has a thing for the Smiths?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=2bUgzGJK7Kw&NR=1
ReplyDeleteBahahaha! And Jimmy Fallon doing Neil Young doing Sexy and I Know It! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E0xmmzDZac&feature=related
ReplyDeleteThe Extreme Parenting show sounds ridiculous in my opinion! I won't be watching.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photo - brings back so many memories of O Street in Georgetown. My best friend lived next door.
ReplyDeleteThose girls are so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite Friday links EVER. Pintester has me in hysterics -- its so so so true -- and I love Sharon's subway game.
ReplyDeleteOnly about four people of color in the colors of humans. WTF?
ReplyDeleteI love 'living in You've Got Mail'. Such a sweet movie and the decor is so homey! xoxo

I am glad you are teaching the little guy to swing a golf club at a ball. I plan to teach him to play with me in another 5 years! love, your mom ps My computer won't let me sign in on google today for some reason.
ReplyDeletemini golf such a great ide I've never thought about.
ReplyDeleteSo do you have any comments on the whole plagiarizing yourself debacle from yesterday? Id love to hear a real explanation since you are so honest with your readers...keep it real Joanna.
ReplyDeleteah! if you're in SF on saturday--look out for The Color Run aka The Happiest 5K, runners :) it's happening out at candlestick park and post run they hand out bags of colored corn meal for everyone to join in!! thecolorrun/sanfrancisco
ReplyDeletehave a great trip!!
I got a lump in my throat looking at that water slide!!
ReplyDeleteHave lovely weekend:)
Enjoy your weekend! Putt-putting is always a great time. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThe color of "humans" apparently is white. There were shockingly few people of color in that project.
ReplyDeleteplease let us know where we can get said large burritos!
ReplyDeleteVery random but that water slide is in Beach Park, Fortaleza, Brazil. It's called "Insano" (Insane) and it really is scary. I've been to that park at least 10 times in my life and have only gone down on that thing once. And I screamed the whole way down. :)
ReplyDeleteem, thank you for your note! i commented on the post, but will make another comment there now, thank you!!
ReplyDeletemama in the city, i agree!!
ReplyDeletethe burritos aren't quite as big as our giant heads, haha. but they're so good -- from http://www.dostoros.com/
ReplyDeleteI usually save your list for the weekend. Coincidentally, my lack of delaying gratification was worth it- this was a really great list of links. I did however switch one out, instead of watching the parody (song) i clicked on a nearby video: Jimmy Fallon - Born to Run - Emmys Opening Sketch - 2010 - Glee - Emmy Awards. That was a fun ride.
ReplyDeletethat video of the two little girls is the cutest! so funny, thanks for posting:)
ReplyDelete-anne
Great finds! As usual :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT favorite Friday!! I have today off work so this morning was just me, some coffee, and perusing these links. Have a great weekend, Joanna!
ReplyDeleteThose little girls are killing me!! Hahahaha. LOVE that haircut interview.
ReplyDeleteHow many of us have cut our siblings hair!! I know I did. As well as my little sister's shirt (I was trying to do a straight line).
Have fun doin your thing this weekend, Joanna!
XO, L
I thought your future link was going to include an article about how we just officially passed the date they go to in back to the future. Oh Michael J Fox. Love the links, though!
ReplyDeleteThat book still got awful reviews!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! Had to order it. :) Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress! Had to order it. :) Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteJust this year, my daughter decided to cut her own hair with a pair of Crayola "kid-safe" scissors. I never thought I would react the way that I did- I mean it's just hair...right? Needless to say I cried...not just a little. I was heaving with sobs. Ridiculous now, but fully justified then : ) I don't know if her haircut was as bad as his little girl's, but I think it would definitely run a close second.

Hope you have a great, relaxing weekend with your adorable family,

Love the Kennedy's picture! We have no subways in my little town of wineries and high fashion boutiques! We dont even have buses haha cant do that link on discovering your city:(
ReplyDeleteoh lordy. Now extended breastfeeding and cosleeping are "extreme parenting"? Please! Its the standard in parenting in most of the world, for most of human history! uuuuuggghhhh. TLC has gone so far downhill in the last few years, they really ought to change their name! Puke!
ReplyDeleteNice post, thanks for sharing this wonderful
ReplyDelete"Color of humans", proof that white people don't really have to think about race unless someone else brings it up.
ReplyDeleteNo diversity.
Sounds like a perfect weekend. Where is that waterslide? Intense!!
ReplyDeleteI just read your blog posts and 'friends of a certain age', by Alex.
ReplyDeleteThanks both for making my Saturday afternoon enjoyable! You guys are awesome.
-from Singapore.
I just love that picture! I am a Swedish interior design blogger and I just find your blog, consider yourself bookmarked. (My blog is in Swedish but my iPad-magazine is in English.)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day // Frida
so excited about emily's new book! loving your ff as always! xx kristen
ReplyDeletemikie and kristen
Ahh, that Pinterest is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I never commented on your work/balance post, but have you ever thought about featuring a mother of a child with a disability? From personal experience, I know my mom faced unique -- but rewarding -- challenges when I was growing up, and it would be great to read others' stories. :)
Emily's new book looks like fab coffee table reading. Mini golfing is so fun with kids- my adore this pastime!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Joanna, as always! The haircut interview was just too funny, and I want a cardboard NY Transit bus of my own. Camille Seaman's photos are incredible... she and I were classmates at SUNY Purchase way back in the day; it's always nice to see a fellow alumna's work!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely Blog. Please visit also mine and tell me what you think <3
ReplyDeleteThat red dress is KILLER! ASOS only has size 4-Boo!
ReplyDeleteI like Melissa Blake's idea. I grew up with a sister with disability. It was hard for me -though it really isn't, it ultimately becomes your responsibility as well-, I can't imagine how it felt to my mom. It would be nice to hear other mothers' experiences too.
ReplyDeletePS. That water slide scared me just by looking at it. Definitely not included in my bucket list :)
Great posting and awesome photo... one of my favorite photos of the past...
ReplyDeleteWeekend plans - party with friends on Saturday and planning for trip to London on Sunday... wonderful links!

Hi, I have enjoyed reading your blog but it's my first time to post a comment. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou've Got Mail is my all time favorite! Thanks for the link. I also love the site "Design Sponge".
I got a bouquet of beautiful chrysanthemums this Saturday and it just made my day. :-)
Hello
ReplyDeleteGood piece of data that you've received on this web site article. Appreciate it!
A great blog about parenting a child with disabilities/differences can be found here: http://www.donthideitflauntit.com/
ReplyDeleteMeg discusses growing up with a severe form of ectrodactyly, how her parents raised her, and how she's raising two sons with the same condition.
Another great round-up!
ReplyDeletethat's a great idea, melissa, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, Joanna, but the round-up is always my favorite Hope you enjoy the weekend.

Friend, therapist, friends, comments online at glamour.com? Maybe Alex can give you some tips on journalism and ethics....it seems you need a brush up on honesty and deceit.
I came back from a two week holiday in Italy to rainy London - but nice to be back all the same. Hope everybody had a nice weekend.

I just heard about the Wi Fi phone booths on NPR. I love the idea that they've decided to keep the booths up, if only to show the younger generations that there was life before cell phones. The NPR reporter tried to use the pay phone and it kept eating her quarters. Classic NYC story!
ReplyDeleteThe photo you posted reminds me of this article - I wonder if you have read it:
