Apparently I was busy this week…because it’s Friday and I had to scramble to pull together a Best of the Week post!
The most popular on Eat Run Read (second week in a row!) was Wedding Food. People LOVE the vegan chocolate cupcakes.
Catalog Living, as always, is hilarious. If you’re not familiar, a fictional couple (Gary and Elaine) live in a catalog and write about it daily. Here are a couple examples from this week:
Gary’s years of experience told him that his son could never expect to conquer more than four states with a password as flimsy as “No Girls.”

Hope you have a happy Friday and a great weekend!
