(My new vase from Umba<\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh man, this week was crazy, to say the least!\u00a0 We recovered from that awful stomach bug and then Austin got hit hard with torrential rains Wednesday night.\u00a0 We are safe and dry, thankfully, but there was severe flooding in parts of the city and neighborhoods were also evacuated.\u00a0 I think everyone is looking forward to a quiet weekend at home.\u00a0 Here are a few things that caught my attention this week.<\/p>\n

An interesting interview<\/a> with Arcade Fire.\u00a0 Monday night, I listened to a live concert<\/a> they held, via my local public radio station.<\/p>\n

I am not a football fan, but this story<\/a> of a middle school team’s sneaky move is truly inspiring.\u00a0 You’ll need some tissue.<\/p>\n

Monday’s Google Doodle<\/a> honored costume designer Edith Head.<\/p>\n

My sister sent me the link to this beautiful, Frida Kahlo-inspired pumpkin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lovely photos<\/a> inspired by London’s style during the 1960s.\u00a0 Just ignore that cigarette.<\/p>\n

Creepy photos<\/a> of Texas ghost towns.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n
