As I said in my Plans and Goals and Stuff post, Sunday mornings is when I read my way through all the interesting tidbits I’ve come upon during the week: tweets I’ve marked as favorite, Google Reader posts I’ve starred and articles I’ve mailed myself links to while waiting out an ad break. Then I add the ones I think everyone else might find interesting to Buffer, so they get tweeted during the week. (Note: I tweet what I think is interesting, not necessarily what I agree with.) But I thought that this year, I would pick the cream of the crop for a little Sunday morning link fest, so you have something to read with your coffee too…
This week I also went through my albums and discovered that I have an alarming collection of photos of me drinking coffee and photos of coffee cups that I took. The good news is there’s at least a year’s supply. So along with a new group of links every Sunday, we’ll have a new coffee pic too! This was taken in a cafe overlooking Jemaa el-Fnaa, the famously chaotic main square of Marrakech’s medina, in January 2012. Disclaimer for the people who meet me in Real Life and are surprised: I’m not (fake) blonde anymore. I’VE GONE DARK. And shorter. Surprise!
Now to the tweets:

And that’s all I have this week because I was a bad girl and distracted for hours on end by Pinterest. (How do people think of these things?! They should be RUNNING THE WORLD.) So to make up for the slacking, this week I also had a post on Writing.ie about my ambivalent Kindle feelings:

Until next week…
Is pink not your thing? Did you know that you get every new Catherine, Caffeinated delivered straight to your inbox? Look for the sign-up box in the sidebar (this way —> and up a bit), enter your e-mail and you’re good to go.
I am following your example and using Sundays to catch up on my reading, really Saturday too. I am becoming a bit of an internet addict :-/ Yeah, I’ve discovered Pinterest too! *ugh* how do people write with all that going on all the time?
I’ve just discovered Pinterest and am trying desperately not to get too involved – I’m easily distracted as it is!
It is seriously a rabbit hole. My tip: download the Pinterest app to your smart phone and restrict your P-browsing to ad breaks, queuing, bus rides, etc. That’s the only way!
I’m also a little addicted to Pinterest. We’re all doomed.
