Freakin (Great Links) Friday Installment 11 - When I Grow Up

Freakin (Great Links) Friday Installment 11 - When I Grow Up Im leaving at 5:30p EST  today for sunnier skies ( a torrential downpour once a day at 3p) to be a part of my Dads wedding this Sunday in Boca Raton, FL. He liked it, so he put a ring on it (sorry, its my favorite song right now). Here are my favorite posts of the week: I need to start with the silly introduce you to the $80 book brush. What a small price to pay to be able to dust off the top of your books! If you love sarcasm as much as I do, youll love Unitasker Wednesdays on Unclutterer. Im so excited that decor8 is starting a weekly Creativity Series every Thursday on her blog for 10 weeks, with a new tip each week. The first one is here, dont forget to comment!   What does it take the succeed in 2009? No, not a 4 hour workweek, but Hustle Patience. Im glad  Get Rich Slowly  dispelled that other rumor. Every blog I read has blown up this week with the release of the book Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love. If youve read it, Id love to hear your comments! I havent read it, but I liked the interview that Zen Habits had with the author, Jonathan Fields especially because he truly believes that the money wont necessarily follow if you pursue what you love. I found decor8s Career Advice for Creatives post from June, had the feeling I had read it already. Then I realized I hadnt it was just such a similar story to my own that it felt familiar. Hopefully my story will have the same ending as Hollys. One of the Top 5 Reasons Ill Have a House Someday: to have a studio like Kelly Rae Roberts. So what if I dont paint? I have a business to run need a place to sing too! Still feel the urge to declutter even though its 2+ weeks into the New Year? Small Notebook gives you the Top 10 Rules for Decluttering. Worth reading the comments, too. Also loved the Unclutters guest post from Danielle (of Carrie + Danielle White Hot Truth), as its the only one Ive read that gets to my WHY of clutter: it was a gift from someone close to me, it was free, I hate this but need to have it until I have $ to buy a new one, but what if I need it someday?. Seth Godin posted links to new Twitter tools! Im going to write a post next week about my Twexperience (sorry, its so hard not to do that when talking about Twitter) so I though Id include this link this week. My former coach, Joanne Hunold, pointed me to the blog Escape from Cubicle Nation today. I wish I had time to read the entire Archive, but for now Ill just link to Are Creative People Doomed to Scraping Out  A Miserable Experience? Powerful, powerful, powerful  stuff. And to end with the silly, every musical theater nerd out there should watch the Save Broadway sketch from SNL last week. For those of you who were a fan of Doogie Howser MD you have to watch this Digital Short, also from last weeks SNL. And in case you cant guess, Im in love with Neil Patrick Harris. For some reason, Luke is not threatened. If youre stuck in the cold the snow this weekend, enjoy it with some card games, some movies, a bath or two, some hot chocolate, a pair of flannel pjs a game of Monopoly. If youre in a warmer climate then paint your toenails hot pink (like me!) soak up enough sun for the rest of us. Have a great weekend!
