Meg vs.Time: Facebook Friday

I cheated a little this week, mostly checking on the group of parents of children with cleft lip and palate so that I could update the group blog, so I'll give myself a pass on that one. I also snuck a peek at some Halloween pictures; all those little kid costumes are irrisistable! On to the fun:

1. Instrument humor. Hehe.

2. This is how I feel all the time.

3. Ever wonder if you are wearing tights or pants? I see too many people that haven't figured that one out yet... This post can help you, as can this flow chart from Buzzfeed:

4. My kids are loving the InstaMinion app on Facebook.

5. In case "What Does the Fox Say" isn't enough shenanigans for you, Ylvis presents "The Intelevator"


p.s. There are four episodes of this. You're welcome.

6. Nice costumes, BYU!

7. Awesome graphic and Mindy Kaling quote from Beauty Redefined:

Happy Friday!

Meg vs. Time: The Return of Facebook Friday

It's time to cut back on Facebook again. I am doing somewhat better at cleaning my house and keeping up on things, but the computer is an all-too-accessible distraction, and a constant stream of trivialities is killing my productivity. And my nap time. So in no particular order, here are today's gems from the internet:

1. My Imaginary Well Dressed Toddler Daughter. 

I find this Pinterest board hilarious. You can follow on Facebook, Instagram, etc. etc. as well. I think she just published a book, too.

2. On a very related note, this post about Restoration Hardware children's rooms is spot-on and pretty funny.

3. Yes this.

I put the diapers in the washer first thing yesterday morning, and finally put them in the dryer just before bedtime.

4. Food for thought on sleepovers. Not there yet with my kiddos, but I had a lot of awesome and not-so-awesome sleepover experiences growing up.

5. I heart C.S. Lewis.

6. Marvin J. Ashton is pretty swell too.

And that will do it for today. Happy Friday!

It is getting harder and harder to find things I want to repost. More proof that I should kick my Facebook habit. But here are a few gems:

1. This article:  "I Read All the Baby Sleep Books." Spot on.

2. Emily is back blogging on For the Love. If I get my act together, I will be too... Anyhow, she has lots of good things in store!

3. This is pretty awesome. (Excuse some of the language.) This guy plants gardens in the inner city.

4. The Red Cross has mobile apps to help you during emergencies. Sometime when I jump into this  millennium and get a smart phone, I will have to download them.

5. My nephew got his yellow belt!

6. So true. Except I would have to have to have the figure to wear all of those clothes...

7. Last but not least:

Now there is some wisdom. Happy Friday!

Meg vs. Time: Facebook Friday

To be honest, I have not been keeping to my Friday rule, but I am going back on the bandwagon this week!

1. First and foremost, thoughts and prayers to all the people on a practical citywide lockdown in Boston. And prayers for the victims and families who are coping. And those affected by the explosion in Texas. And, to be honest, prayers for the people perpetrating the chaos. Nothing good ahead for them. It is getting to be a scary world, which makes me more grateful for the peace and comfort of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that He can heal all wounds.

2. This cheers me up, too.



2. And this guy. Love my Japanese media. And this motivational tennis champ. You can't give up after watching this!



3. Geek.

4. This compilation of photos from an abandoned town near Fukushima is really moving.

5.

6. If you ever feel like complaining about human childbirth, check out the kiwi's egg.

7. Super Filibuster from a shoot for Parks & Rec--more geek.


And 7 will do it for today folks. Happy Friday!

Meg vs. Time: Facebook Friday

1. Have an Ace hardware near you? Tomorrow is Free Paint Saturday!

2. A little 90's throwback. When bleached yellow hair and striped beanies were cool.


3. Love minions.

4. Ikea.

5. I am confused by some of the things coming back "in." I thought cat sweatshirts were on the permanent "out" list. This is why I can't get into fashion!

6. This got tons of shares, but I actually can't stand to watch it, I thought that guy was going to have a heart attack. Not very nice, Jeff Gordon.


7.I cannot believe I forgot Pi Day yesterday! I am going to have to turn in my nerd card.

And seven will do it for today. Happy Friday!

Meg vs. Time: Facebook Friday

1. Quality Japanese television.



2. Punny.

3. My friend is posting on her hilarious Apartment Managers Blog again! You won't believe these stories. You can't make this stuff up.

4. Will Ferrell hilarity. Better because it makes fun of Twilight =).



5. Truth.

6. Debunking Mormon Myths.


7. Babies, cute babies! And more on the way! I guess I am at just the right age where it seems like EVERYONE is having babies. They are probably my favorite part of Facebook.

8. The man everyone loves to hate.

I bet he's thinking, "Can't we go back to bashing George W.? That was a lot more fun."

I should follow politics more, but it is hard not to get annoyed and stop reading.

9. Rand Paul got his answer. Again, I should be following politics more. But I really do have a hard time with the horrors that our own government has perpetrated and is perpetrating--under both parties--around the world.


10. Now to finish things off right, a science pun.

Happy Friday!

Meg vs. Time: Facebook Friday

1. New versions of the LDS scriptures! (If you aren't a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sorry if this interests you not at all.)

You can see side-by-side comparisons to the changes made to the headings in the Doctrine and Covenants here. The introduction to Official Declaration 2 is a pleasant surprise!

2. If Downton Abbey Season 3 were on Facebook... (warning, spoiler alert if you haven't seen them all!)

3. Popcorn/menopause humor. Can't beat that.

4. More T-Rex humor.

5. March Madness will be extra colorful this year. Yikes.

6. This ever happen to you? The banes of technology.

7. You go, Josh Groban. Both literally and figuratively.

8. I would only rent this place if the painting came with it.

9. I am hooked on Dandy Giveaway! In the last several months I won a wall stencil and a Robby Wash Ball, and I am dying to win some of these Little Green Food Pouches, since we will be starting solids with Baby Brother in the next couple of weeks!

10. We used to have a dog just like that. Shame we didn't have that rug! RIP Rags the dog. You would have liked this joke.

Happy Friday!

1.  My mom posted this for me. Sad but true. We still haven't found anywhere we like better than SoCal!

2. Something to think about (though who knows if these stats are true).

3. This site is hilarious.

4. Hehehe.

5. Perhaps we could use some changes in our system of punctuation.

6. More truth.

7. I still haven't gotten tired of T-Rex memes.

8. Silly.



9. Ahehehehehe.


10. Sorry if I take a while to call you back...

Happy Friday! I spent the last 3 days out and about, so I think I will stay in my pj's a while longer.

It is getting harder to find 10 things. Again, a good thing, right? Could be attributable to Valentine's Day this week though.

1. Lots of pictures of people's Valentines gifts, brags about spouses/significant others, etc. My favorite was from Emily: her husband brought her Wendy's chicken nuggets to work. That is true love.

2. I keep trying to tell this to my kids.

3. These Bad Lip Readings are so ridiculous, it's hard not to laugh.



4. Happy Puritan Valentine's Day.

5. And Star Trek Valentine's Day.

I grew up watching The Next Generation. I wonder what nerdy things I will make my kids like?

6. My brother took Air Canada to China. Unexpected.

7. Don't forget to enter to win free glasses!

Okay, I think that is all for today. 7 is also a complete number, so we'll go with that. Happy Friday!
