Peak of the Week– Things That Piqued My Interest This Week

February 15, 2017 by Sharon

It’s Wednesday- The peak of the Week!! I hope you are enjoying your Wednesday. I’m writing from the Oakland, CA area today. It is supposed to be sunny today with rain coming back in, but so far today it is very cloudy!!

There were many things I found interesting this week!!

Sweet Potato Fries
These just looked so good that I had to share!! I love sweet potatoes and they are so good for you!!
If you are looking for a healthy, low-fat meal, bake a sweet potato and only eat it with Ranch Style Beans on it. The flavors together are great. Dr. T and I have this for dinner with a salad on many No Meat Monday dinners!!

Remove political posts from facebook feed
I don’t know if I can handle 4 years of the negativity!!! I may come back to this post and remove political posts from my Facebook. I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore!!

Cute bookmarks— These are heart shaped for Valentine’s, but you could keep them as cute little fluffies at the end! Aren’t they cute??

Memorable Funerals
Some of these are really funny! It reaffirms my belief that people really are crazy!!

Promise Rings– ward off the new way of cheating!! I read about these on a recent flight to California. I guess I would rather worry about Dr T cheating on my with Netflix rather than another woman!!
These are rings that keep your partner from watching your show without you!

Overthinking Things – How to stop damaging your relationship when you’re an overthinker
This article isn’t new, but someone shared it on Facebook and I read it at 3 in the morning when I couldn’t sleep. I had a Eureka moment!! Things I wish I had learned about myself in my 20’s!! This is it!! I am an overthinker, and I didn’t realize it was a bad thing!! I thought it helped me deal with stuff!!
I love the analogy in this article where she compares overthinking with looking in a microscope!! It is so very true. I’m going to try to do better- I really am!!
