  It's such a beautiful day here in NYC!! And about damn time, too! Last night when we went to the movies, I finally got to wear my favorite sundress with a hoodie, of course. I was so comfortable and it was so nice out that it almost felt magical. Ah, summer!! Yesterday at work, I came across this story on urlLink Slate about this woman who did an experimental silent treatment for just a couple of days and she tells about how hard it was to do it. I thought it was pretty funny and it's a fast read, so check it out urlLink here . And now for your Saturday Links: urlLink Can you catch a fly with chopsticks ? It's kind of hard, but I caught at least one before I moved on, so here go - urlLink your turn ! Why carry around some plain, boring black umbrella when you can carry around a urlLink Bright Night Illuminated Umbrella ?! According the article, it comes with 2 bulbs that actually do a great job of lighting up everything underneath the canopy, which you have the option of controlling with a button on the handle.
It has a battery compartment for 4 AA batteries that will give you 4 hours of lighting. Cool colors, nice handle, great construction, & a light - would else could you possibly ask for? OK, I know that's only 2 links, but I'll have to come back later. It's such a nice day out that I can't just sit here in front of the computer anymore. See ya later!
