Hiiii! I hope you’ve had a great weekend. Mine has been fun – I had a great run, did some shopping at J.Crew and got to spend some time with a bestie. Maizey had a play date with Annie the Bulldog (who is not so little anymore) and I got to hang out with Annie’s mom, Allison.
However, I’m feeling a little under the weather this evening. So it’s 9 PM and I’m already in bed. After this post goes up, I’ll read a little more of the Steve Jobs biography and turn off the lights, hopefully before 9:30. I love turning out the lights before 10. It feels so indulgent.
- Haters gonna hate. Here’s some great advice on how to deal with haters in the world wide web.
- Ever wondered what the “best” sweeteners are? Or the worst sweeteners? You might be surprised by some of this article’s contentions.
- After blogging for 11 years (daaaang!), Dooce captures the love of blogging in this post so well.
- The Pure 2 Raw twins shared some great links on twitter this week, including an article about the importance of getting protein from plant-based food and why you should worry about getting protein from plants rather than meat.
- Melt that chocolate Easter bunny and make this drinking chocolate. And then invite me over for some.
- As a fellow shorty (I’m 5’1″), I’m newly obsessed with the fashion blog Extra Petite.

What time do you go to bed? I try to be in bed by 10, but it’s usually closer to 10:30 or 11.

i agree, that drinking chocolate sounds killer and i can’t wait to make it! also, i want a bulldog. the end 🙂
seriously, bulldogs are hilarious. love them. i’m so happy is besties with one. 😉
Ugh, I keep thinking all those pics are just “unflattering angles.” I’m coming to realize that Annie is just a chunker.
hahaha! chunky suits her.
Lately, I’ve been hittin’ the hay around 9pm. It sounds good, but my body hasn’t yet adjusted to Mountain Time yet, so it’s really 11pm. Anything before midnight is a win, though!
adjusting to new time zones is so hard!
Bedtime is later than it should be – usually between 11:30 and midnight.
Off to read about sweeteners! I can’t tolerate the artificials anyway, so I wonder what else I need to take off of my list?
I am so glad Jill introduced me to your blog! I can’t believe you’ve been blogging for 11 years! I’ve only been blogging (publicly) for a week and already find it so fun and therapeutic. Thanks for the great links- the Tim Ferriss one was especially interesting.
I try to be in bed around 11, but it usually ends up being 11:30 or midnight. Woof… too late! Love the pup pics 😀 Hope you’re feeling better!
On work nights, I try and get into bed for 10pm at the latest. Weekends if we are at home I might stay up until 11pm, a real party animal over here 😉 haha
I have an alarm on my laptop that says, “Go to bed!” that goes off at 9:15. I try to make my way upstairs by 9:30, but usually read in bed until 10. I might be going to bed in just a few minutes tonight though – I’m exhausted!
oh tug of war! i love it! hope you get feeling better, love. thanks for the links!
oooooohh, haters gonna hate. loved the line collin powell quote in there about mediocrity. i believe mediocrity to be the 8th deadly sin.
i’m thisclose to signing up for the timpanogos half marathon. what?!
If I don’t get to bed before 9:15 I am a total grump the next day. My students actually call me out, I guess I can’t hide it well! 🙂
I may or may not have gone to bed 3 times before 9pm last week 🙂 9:30 is my usual time. I get up at 5:30 to run before work, and it takes me awhile to fall asleep and I wake up 3-4 times a night, so I need that time in bed. My husband goes to bed at 9:30 with me, however, he gets up at 3:30 to study!
love the tug of war action! and thanks for the link love, so glad you found those articles interesting 🙂
we try to go to bed at 10:30 but ends up being 11 or later.
Oh! Thanks for the recommendation to Extra Petite. I’m not even 5′. Nice to meet other tiny folks! 😉
