wednesday wonderfulness, just under the wire

Um, today I discovered that I might, after all, have limits to my endurance. I crashed, and crashed hard, this evening. Not because I've pulled an all-nighter (I haven't, not lately), but because I've been going on 4-5 hours of sleep per night for the past several months and I think that, combined with stress and lack of exercise, is wearing on me. So. I slept for a couple of hours this evening, am going to work for a while, and tomorrow? I'm not setting my alarm. I'm going to sleep until I wake up, and it's going to be AWESOME. (This means I'll probably wake up at 4:30. Yes, this happens to me.) Anyway, on to more interesting stuff.

• Love this alternative to over-the-knee boots
• really interesting article on connecting with your audience
• 10 truths I wish I'd known sooner. Wise words, there.
• the gift guides over at a cup of Jo are so brilliant
• um, my brother just introduced me to TV Tropes, and it is a an AWESOME way to waste time. It's a little overwhelming, so start with a show you know well: Firefly, The Office, Gossip Girl, Sex and the City.
• mmmm. amazing makeup. But I really love the title of the shoot.
