What are you doing this week? We just dropped off Anton at a Vermont camper – his first time! I have been thinking of him constantly and hope he is happy. Any tips from experienced parents on how to reduce your anxiety? I have never grown up, so everything is new to me. I hope you have a good one, and here are some links online…
Are you comfortable?
I’ve been wearing these super comfortable pants while hiking.
And these comfortable jeans for days are a handsome gentleman;)

33 fun life tips. “Whenever you’re asked to estimate a number (how much money someone saved, how many miles they ran, how long they waited at the DMV…), be careful. The person asking you wants to surprise you.”

Fashion designer Somsack Sikhounmuong always has lunch with his friends. “No matter how busy you are in the office, we try to eat together. The idea of sitting down, taking a moment, and pulling out all the food is good for me… It’s like a water cooler, but this is a lunch table. (NYMag)
What to do with all that zucchini.
He made me laugh.
Also, tomorrow I’m posting an Ask Me Anything episode of our Big Salad episode, including what it was like sleeping with someone for the first time after my divorce, eeps! Paywalled for obvious reasons, but it’s $6/month (including, all documents), if you’re in the mood for girls.
Also, three reader comments:
Kristen on Erika Veurink’s clothes week said: “I’m 5’11, and in every picture in my mid-20s, I’m either looking or bowing. Now that I have a tall child, I have decided to live my height. People comment on my height, and hers, all the time, and while I still hate that a stranger has to say something unsolicited, I’ve learned to respond with ‘You’re so tall’ and ‘Thank you! ‘ as if it were a great compliment. I hope my daughter will never feel like she needs to have less space in the world. “
Brianna on what makes you thirsty said: “Recently, my rude husband left me three misses on the way to work. I was busy arguing with our children, but when I called him again, complaining that there was something wrong, he told me to run to the garden because there was a strange rainbow. We live in Ireland, where there are constant rainbows, and most of the time he didn’t care. But they know I love to see them and I’m curious to make sure I don’t miss a good one. After 15 years together, my unknown love is now saying ‘Look!, isn’t it beautiful?’ while looking at me expectantly and suspiciously.”
Ally has this to say about what everyone is reading/watching/listening to: “I HAVE SO MUCH TIPS for the Olympics. Anthony Edwards on the men’s basketball team is so exciting. And I can’t wait for Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, the whole women’s team. And Katie Ledecky is Quincy Wilson (singer, only 16 years old). Gosh, I can’t wait.
