Week's Links: The Nurse Cat and Gay Marriage

Hey y'all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was a mixed bag - our garage door broke on Friday night, causing us to realize that we didn't have a key to our front door! I got to spend Saturday night with a dear friend who was in town from Dallas, and then I spent most of Sunday on the couch battling allergies or sinuses or something that had me down for the count. But I did find some great links this week!

There's a cat nurse in Poland and it is adorable. 

I relate to all the things that extremely clumsy people can relate to. The amount of bruises on my legs is slightly ridiculous right now. 

The story of the OKC police sergeant who carried Baylee out of the rubble of the Murrah building made me cry. Baylee's story has always stuck with me.

Glennon's post on gay marriage is something I wish I could've written, because she expresses how I feel about it. 

What links have you been checking out this week? 

Friday I'm in Love: Pop Basic

I'm bringing back my Friday I'm in Love series this week because I need to tell you about Pop Basic.

See, some of you may know that I'm quick to voice my opinion when it comes to customer service. I've been fairly outspoken on some of my negative experiences with AT&T and the Cheesecake Factory, but I think it's only right to be outspoken about the positive experiences I have too.

So let me tell you about Pop Basic! It's a company that sells micro collections of clothes, usually once a month. Those collections are one outfit; the collection I purchased was Felicity collection, a dress, a necklace, and a bracelet.

The jury is still out on the dress (it's a little clingy for me, but super cute) but I LOVED the necklace. It is gold and silver, layers well, and I wear it multiple times a week. It makes a plain gray shirt feel fancy. 

Well, I was wearing it on Sunday after getting home from a baby shower when my cat caught her foot in the chain and snapped it. I was so upset! So obviously I tweeted about it, and got a quick reply from Pop Basic asking if I'd like a replacement! I said I would love to buy a replacement if that was possible, and one PayPal transaction later my favorite necklace is getting replaced.

That, my friends, is how customer service should be done. So thank you Madeleine of Pop Basic, for making my day.

Week's Links: Sorta Awesome and a Wrecking Ball

Anyone else wake up some Mondays and wonder what happened to the last week? Because that's totally how I'm feeling today! Last week was a blur; I've been picking up more freelance work, and things have picked up at the day job. Plus James and I spent the weekend with my parents in Ada, so overall the week just flew by! 

But I'm back today with another Week's Links. In case you haven't noticed, it's becoming a regular Monday series, so I hope you enjoy them! 

One of the most popular posts in the When I Grow Up series was last week's interview with Kathleen! And for those of you interested in taking an e-course with Braid Creative, the deadline is Wednesday and you can sign up here.  (Don't forget you can use the code BRAIDECOURSE50 to save $25!)

I totally loved this video of three women singing songs from different decades!

And speaking of music, have you seen Anne Hathaway singing Wrecking Ball yet?  We watched it this weekend with my parents, and that song has been in my head ever since. (To my family's dismay, the only words I know are literally "I came in like a wrecking ball..." That's it!) 

And I am so excited about the launch of Sorta Awesome by Megan Tietz. I've been reading her blog for years, and have been lucky enough to meet her a time or two (she's in the OKC area as well). Definitely check out her new podcast, it's going to be one of my new favorites!

I know I'm forgetting some links, but I'll share them next week when I remember them :) And fellow book nerds, get excited for Wednesday's Quick Lit post. I read way more books this month, and I can't wait to tell you all about them! 

Happy Monday!
