weekend reads

this weekend I am hosting the first of two bachelorette nights/showers for Karissa. i'm super excited, and also a little nervous about hosting my first on-my-own shower. but now that it is wedding time, I am sure the days will fly by! (fun story: I was cooking for the shower last night and I set off my smoke alarm not once, but twice. and in usual Kaylee fashion, I ran about my apartment frantically until I thought to open a door and fan the smoke away from the alarm.)

I can't wait to break out my camera and document the next few weekends, but until then, here's what I am reading on the internet this fine Friday:

• Wartime kisses via A Cup of Jo
• Facebook fatigue: Are you a victim? via Social Media Today (and I would say yes, I am a victim :)
• How I lost more than 150 pounds via Lifehacker
• For a moment of awe at the human spirit via Explore
• Would you spend 10 days in total silence? via No More Dirty Looks (and no, no I would not :)
• H. P. Lovecraft’s Advice to Aspiring Writers, 1920 via Brain Pickings 
• Exploring the (seemingly) ordinary via Darling Magazine

Happy weekend!
