Did you have a good week? Is it rainy and gray where you are? That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s like here, dreary\u00a0for three days now, and it reminds me of when I lived\u00a0in Seattle. It&#8217;s not non-stop rain and sloshing through puddles; it&#8217;s just gray and misty an awful lot. After a while,\u00a0it wears on you, especially if you&#8217;re not from that area&#8211;if you grow up equating sunshine to good moods and good days. But the dreariness is the only drag about Seattle, because the city is\u00a0just about perfect in every other way.<\/p>\n<p>But enough about the weather. One thing I&#8217;ve been meaning to ask you: <em>What&#8217;s your take on Yankee Candles? Worth the price or what?<\/em>\u00a0Because Daniel and I are now kinda, sorta&#8230;those people who may or may not go all the way to the Yankee Candle Store and,\u00a0uh,\u00a0smell every candle. It started so innocently though. We thought a candle might help off-set\u00a0the unholy stench of roasted broccoli in our apartment.\u00a0And now we&#8217;re in over our heads with a $25-candle-habit.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tell me what&#8217;s new!<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Here are the links that caught my eye:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3064113\/how-to-trick-your-brain-to-slow-down-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to trick your brain to slow down time<\/a>\u00a0| Fast Company<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/vitamins-supplements-guide#slide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here\u2019s the truth about the vitamins you actually need<\/a>\u00a0| Refinery29<\/p>\n<p>One large study has found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/09\/30\/well\/live\/contraceptives-tied-to-depression-risk.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hormonal contraceptives are associated with an increased risk for depression<\/a>. | NYTimes<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/one-couples-successful-chore-dividing-plan-235424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Balanced Free Time&#8221; system for sharing housework<\/a> with your partner | Apartment Therapy<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/expert-advice\/do-i-really-need-to-preheat-the-oven-article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You don&#8217;t need to preheat the oven for most things.<\/a>\u00a0| Epicurious<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesimpledollar.com\/attentional-bias-why-you-talk-yourself-into-buying-the-thing-youre-obsessing-over-in-your-head-and-how-to-stop-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Attentional bias may be causing you to buy a lot of stuff you don&#8217;t need<\/a> |\u00a0The Simple Dollar<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/the-four-types-of-mark-wahlberg-movies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 4 types of Mark Wahlberg movies<\/a>, with analysis of each | FiveThirtyEight<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/12-classic-sauces-everyone-should-be-able-to-make-and-1786969650\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 classic sauces everyone should be able to make<\/a>, and how to make them | Lifehacker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are at Sunday, my friends.
