Cyberspace Corral!!

Working from home has many advantages as well as disadvantages.

Advantages for me ...

1) I haven't had to shower since Sunday

2) I wore yoga pants all day

3) I ate a lot of food and no one judged me

4) I can get puppy kisses whenever I want

Disadvantages for everyone else (aka my husband) ...

1) I haven't showered since Sunday

2) All I wear is yoga pants

3) I eat a lot of food without a care

4) I create songs that I think my puppy would sing to me if he could talk. I then proceed to sing them aloud all day in my puppy's voice.

And yeah, I've made a voice for him. I use it when him and I chit chat during the day.

An example of one of our songs. 

It is to the tune of the bubblegum pop classic, 'I Want Candy.' 

'I know a mom who’s tough but sweet.

She’s so nice, she can’t be beat.

She’s got rawhides that I desire.

Rubs my tummy until I tire.

I love Mommy. I love Mommy.

I love Mommy. I love Mommy.'

Now that I have thoroughly disappointed all of you, let's get to the topic of tonight's blog.

**Cyberspace Corral!!**

Alright, so here are some of the best things I found on the internet this week.

one.

Please watch this video. It had me cracking up.

I love pop music but the resemblance to goats is uncanny. 

When I was in Swaziland, we lived in a hut that was surrounded by hundreds of goats. Goat cries are really creepy and human-like, and sound just like little children crying. 

Or Miley Cyrus.

two. 

I may or may not have eaten this microwave cake-in-a-cup three times in the past 24 hours 

(surprise ... I did!)

Here's the recipe...

I think the real goodness in this cake comes from the buttery, brown sugar topping. 

Buttery. Brown Sugar. Topping.

Done & done. 

three. 

Blowfish shoes is clearing out a lot of stock and is having a huge sale where $10 are taken off every pair of sale and clearance shoes. Plus free shipping on all orders.

I got these guys for $8.99 (and free shipping). 

If you have never worn blowfish shoes before, I really recommend them. Super comfy and pretty darn cute.

These guys are only $29.99! I wanted to grab them, but they didn't have them in my size. 

Curse all you big footed girls who grabbed them before me!

So yeah, that's what I found over the past few days. Hope you enjoy!

Cyberspace Corral!

Like that alliteration?!? That is only the brain child of my husband and I after a 20 minute discussion/thesaurus search. I wanted a reoccurring title that I could use to showcase some of the awesome/funky/weird/lovely things I find on the internet during the day.

So how could the contents of this blog post match up to the title you might wonder? Well...it most likely won't as the title is sheer perfection, but I can give it a shot anyway.

one.

This morning my husband and I were talking about my blog and what I wanted to publish today. I had been thinking about doing a sort of 'wishlist' highlighting some of my favorite things that I have found via pinterest/etsy/blogs. 

You know...a 'things that I wish I could afford but I can't' blog post.

Without missing a beat, he told me to go to youtube and type in 'I Wish' by Skee-Lo. I did and found this...

So at 7:30am this morning, I sat at my desk and watched all four minutes of this.

Afterwards my husband told me I should open up the wishlist blog post with that video. 

I love that my husband is able to remember obscure, random rap from the mid-90's at the drop of a hat. 

two. 

I get emails from bodybuilding.com throughout the day and today I received one that had this startling graphic inside of it. 

Does anyone else never ever ever ever want to sit again??

three.

On a more uplifting note, I discovered 'Darling Magazine' today and fell in love.

It is an incredibly uplifting, honest online magazine that I can't believe I never heard of before. I saw a link to an article today in my Facebook newsfeed about creating a 'To-Don't' list and I believe that the article found me at a very appropriate time.

four.

I absolutely adore 'Life of Bon.' A seriously funny lady.

Today I was catching up on her blog and was super excited to discover that she is having a book club via her blog every month!

We are tele-meeting the last Wednesday of every month and this month's book is 'Gone Girl,' which I have been wanting to read for a bit now.

I am incredibly excited to take part in this and be a part of an online book club. You should join too!

So that's what I found today! 

Hope you are having a great evening and for God's sake, stop sitting!!!
