Every Monday is Intents and Purchases day at Living Behind the Curve.

We went out of town this weekend for a family reunion, nary a backup post in sight.  We expected to, and did, arrive home around 3 PM on Sunday, with plenty of time to make dinner, do laundry, and gather our thoughts for today’s post, or so we thought.

We both fell asleep as soon as we got home.

And so, dear readers, please enjoy this list of lunch-break speed links.  Our normal levels of chaos will resume tomorrow.
