Hey guys. Alexa came down to visit yesterday and we went to Flying Fish Brewery which was a lot of fun. I really like major breweries that have nice tasting rooms to make a cheap day-drinking bar. We will be posting a more in depth review of it, this week.

Alexa’s little brother Trevor James is performing in the Crossfit Games yesterday in the Northeat regionals. He is currently ranked number 10 but ranked first in the fifth event! Trevor snatched a record breaking 279 lbs! Whoo! There is a little article on the Crossfit website here and here

Fun Stuff:

So I saw these cool shades on Dita Von Teese’s instagram account. Loving them.

This dress is just amazing.

These photos are just amazing by Kaylah.

One of the photographers from my wedding keeps a blog where he photographs local restaurants. One of recent posts is about his vegan parents. I love it.

Smart Stuff:

New York Times wrote and interesting article about how lack of exercise can mess up your circadian rhythm. The study made me think of my cat, and I wonder if she get consistent enough exercise. Which gives me more motivation to get a bigger place to more space to run and exercise.

SciShow shares a study where flies were showing signs of fear! It was a really cool study and challenges if bugs have emotions.

Feeling a little blue? Thinking about how hard it is to get a house, pay rent, and so on? Well, I think I mentioned briefly that my husband and I are looking for a house and once crunching the numbers what we could afford has gone down because taxes were so high. Apparently they are much higher than everyone else. The New Jersey average is $8,000 for property tax, only 0.2 homeowners in the whole of the United States pay that much! Not looking for pity, just a good “at least it isn’t that bad” thing to tell yourself.
