#3: Cupcakes!

It seems that there are websites and blogs out there for everything imaginable. And now, there is even one devoted to cupcakes! Check out the blog, "Cupcakes Take the Cake," for your daily sugar high and guide to the world's greatest dessert (according to the authors). Recipes are regularly posted as are reviews of bakeries and patisseries from across the country. Need an idea for how to frost for your next party? Check out the yummy pictures that they post regularly of new cupcake discoveries from the cool kid to the classy to the exotic!

#2: Shock and Awe Singing Performances

I don't generally watch very much TV, or youtube for that matter, but today I was shown some awesome videos of vocal performances that packed a punch. See for yourself!

#1: Scrabulous

Scrabulous is the ultimate distraction. For those of you who are fans of the classic board game, Scrabble, here is the online version that allows you to play in a number of different styles. You can take part in a four-minute blitz game, play against a robot, challenge others on the web, or commence an email battle with your friends and family.

Introducing the Daily Distraction

Everyday I will *try* to post a distraction in the form of a blog introducing something with a short preview and explaining why it seems worthy of distraction. It may be a new discovery for me and others or it may simply demonstrate how behind the times I am!
