Happy Friday (and last day of January)! Here are some links around the web that caught my eye recently.

I finally took this dialect quiz everyone was taking and I got Oxnard, California, 35 minutes from where I’m from. Pretty crazy.

I’ll be making this toasted kale and pan-fried chickpea salad soon.

I’ve given up about ten bags of clothes in the past couple weeks, which was really hard for me. I get really attached to my clothes. Reading this helped.

Top five reasons to keep running.

Has anyone heard of oil pulling? It’s kind of the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m intrigued.

I thought this was pretty funny.

Aaand this is why I’ll never go on a cruise.

I am on the search for the perfect pair of jean shorts to bring on our trip. I like these a lot.

The reality behind Instagram feeds. We’re all guilty.

I took yesterday off and am going to take today off too, and hopefully I’ll feel right as rain to run tomorrow, and be ready for the Mermaid Series half next weekend. We had a work function at a brewery last night so I didn’t get as much sleep as I’d like, so I’m kind of tired today. It was worth it though. And this morning Jeremy and I went to get breakfast at this great place called The Shop down the street from us.

This weekend, we’re going to try to get more stuff done on our to-do list, a friend is coming into town tomorrow, and I’ve got a bunch of laundry to do. Not too much planned other than that! What are you guys up to this weekend?
