5 Things Friday... on Monday

Good morning!  I hope all of you had a great long weekend.  I spent mine with N's family in St. Louis, blissfully disconnected from the internet (except for some sporadic Instagram browsing - I'm only human).  Since I didn't post my usual collection of randomness last Friday, I'm going to do it now.  Better late than never, right?

Anyway, here are five things worth sharing on the internet:

1. This weekend at the airport I found myself in line behind a lady with the cutest pair of tennis shoes that aren't made for running marathons or crosstraining.  Since I'm about to head out on an 8-day trip full of walking in late August, I creepily stared at her feet until I could discern that they're Reebok Rhythmcity shoes and only $32 - $44 depending on the color.  [Update: I'm weak, I ordered the pair below because they're so darn cute.  Screw sensible color combinations!]

2. I think this is such a happy room.  I wish we had bigger windows!

3. This week I read The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England and it was so interesting!  It's a history book that is written in the form of a guidebook, and it focuses on the everyday customs and objects rather than kings and battles.  If you like history books, I highly recommend it.  Now I'm even more excited for the follow-up book that's sitting on my nightstand! (The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England)

4. I hope this becomes evident to more teenage girls.

5. It's nice to be reminded that you can eat a perfectly healthy lunch without repeating the same foods over and over.  Even though this is intended for kids, I'll be copying some of them for myself! [Update: The image is from Weelicious.com! ]

Happy Monday!
