Welcome to the weekend y'all! I don't know if health and fitness writers are getting lazy or what but I saw a lot of regurgitated articles this week so unfortunately not a whole lot of that ilk in this week's links. But that doesn't mean I didn't read some cool stuff so let's just get to...

26 Times Celebrity Men Stood Up For Feminism (I think I'm officially in love with Mark Ruffalo)
This Chart Shows How Much Money You Should Spend On A Home (It still amazes me how people think what the bank approves them for is what they can afford without looking over their finances)
Bad Things Keep Happening to People Who Do Mud Runs (Luckily I'll never have to worry about this, especially now)
The Most Common Embarrassing Social Blunders and How to Bounce Back (Oh man, I remember sending an email about a person to the person I was griping about. I was able to talk my way out of it since I didn't mention her by name but man there's nothing worse than that flush of adrenaline!)

Don't twist that Oreo: Cookie gets skinny, 'sophisticated' ("Sophisticated" my aunt Fannie. If they put any less cream in there, they need to call it a crisp or a snap. The current Double Stuff's are the size of the old Oreos. Don't think we don't notice!)
Childhood Sweethearts Married for 75 Years Die in Each Other's Arms (Break out the tissues.)
When My Boyfriend Gained Weight I Had To Confront My Own Eating Issues (Interesting double standard and one that is far more prevalent than we'd like to think. I don't get all of the backlash when all she did was tell the truth. But what is society these days if we're not shaming people for having an opinion)

The 30 Most Beautiful Lighthouses in America (We've been to 6 on this list but they forgot quite a few good ones. Looks like a road trip or two are in our future)
Johnny Depp Surprises Sick Kids At Hospital Dressed Like Jack Sparrow (That video is priceless)
I think we're supposed to have one non-rainy day this weekend so I'd like to get out of the house. Nothing in stone just yet. I just know I need to relax, it's been an emotionally draining week. I'll blog about it next week.
What's on your radar for this weekend?
