Friday Five

1.  This story from CNN on ridiculous Higgs-Boson jokes.  I know they are totally geeky but they made me smile.  My favorite: "The Higgs Boson walks into a Catholic Church. Priest says "What are you doing here?" HB says "You can't have mass without me." Ha! 

2. Cookie Monster singing "Share it, Maybe."  Sure it gets a little repetitive after the first minute or so, but, hey, so does the real song.  It's super clever and adorable and how can you not love anything made by Jim Henson Studios?

3.  Let me start out by saying that until earlier in the week, I had no real idea what an "Infographic" was.  But now that I've started hitting Pinterest pretty hard, I have a pretty good idea.  They seem to be everywhere.  I even found a book on Amazon about creating them and using them in presentations (that I've naturally pinned to my super creatively titled board, Work Stuff).  As someone in training and as a visual learner, I can't believe I've never really used or seen them before.  But they are a super cool and focused way to get information across.  As someone who endlessly edits periods and typos ALL day LONG, this one is my favorite.  Its only downside is that it's so small that I can't enlarge it and hang it on my desk.  I'm thinking I'm going to need to add these to my toolbox...

4. This recipe for Strawberry Popsicles.  I bought popsicle molds in the beginning of the summer with allusions of cooling off with fresh, healthy popsicles every week of the scorching summer.  This weekend, they finally came out of the box.  I just whipped them up and I can only hope they will be as tasty as I think they will be.

5.  As much as I hate to admit it: Pinterest is one of my faves this week.  You need only look here to see that I've been attacking it and have found WAY too many good ideas to keep me busy.  My plan is to spend the day scrapping tomorrow, working on a few of my fun finds.  I have to start sometime or I'll be crafting and baking until I'm 90 at this rate!
