Weekly Reads, Vol. 70

Yesterday was my first day off since Easter Sunday, and I really needed it. I'm feeling more relaxed and happy this morning.  Of course it's a beautiful Sunday -- I have the windows open and laundry in. I work this afternoon, but I'm trying to get a few things done before then.  Hopefully you have time to read the posts below.

I've had a lot of people ask me how to get started running. I tell them how I began, but I'm not sure I'm a great source. Monica has some great tips for making running easy.

I still haven't fully embraced Snapchat. I post, but I'm not sure I'm very successful. I enjoyed Taylor's list of the 13 Types of People You'll Find on Snapchat. I wouldn't mind being #4. Oh, and she also wrote this week about the stages of grief while registering for wedding gifts. So many chuckles.

I want to travel more, but I always think it's too expensive. Dani has some great advice for saving on travel. I'm going to employ more than one of these.
