Friday Link Love 10/16

Oct 16 2009

The weather in the Chicago area has been miserable. Cold temperatures and rain have been pounding us for a while now. No sunny skies in sight, at least not in the foreseeable future. This week has been an average week, with the exception of my home internet being down for about a day. No big deal, I got a lot done around the house and when I needed to log on, I just wen to my neighborhood Starbucks.

Not much else to write about today. It’s Friday, the weekend is here and you know what that means – two days of freedom. Read a book. Get some writing done. Or just relax and enjoy your favorite hot beverage. And don’t forget to mark your calendars: November 21 is the National Day of Reading! Let’s make this a success.

As always, have a safe and happy weekend!
