#ReadThisFIRST: Things, stuff, items, tidbits and more, all buzzing today!

Good Morning!

Welcome to a new day, a new week... and new chances to make life amazing... thanks for choosing to #ReadThisFIRST... I am hopeful that as you read this, all is well where you are as we get our lives started today!

I picked Ariana Grande + *NSYNC at Coachella to lead with today because, well, it's *NSYNC. Even without Justin Timberlake, it sends a pretty cool message to the world... that the pop music world of the 90's is alive and kicking! In fact, so much of the music and sound of the 90's - once shunned by the "professional radio people" is now making such a massive comeback!

Why?

BECAUSE FANS ARE NOW ABLE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT ON DEMAND WHERE THEY WANT IT AND REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT COMES FROM.

That's all the research I need. Hope some are taking notes because there's a message being sent by pop culture, that's for sure!

SO... let's get into it...

ARIANA GRANDE x NSYNC at COACHELLA YOU GUYS!!!

TMZ first teased that NSYNC would join Ariana Grande at Coachella.

Early in her Sunday night set, Ariana broke into “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored.” Near the end of the song she invited NSYNC on stage. The song samples their “It Makes Me Ill.”

Ariana told the crowd she’d rehearsed a lifetime to sing with NSYNC. Together they performed the 1997 hit “Tearin’ Up My Heart.” This was NSYNC-lite. Only Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez, who carried most of the vocals.

Justin Timberlake couldn’t be bothered to show at Coachella. He was available, too, because he just wrapped his 115-night Man of the Woods Tour.

OH... HAPPY TAX DAY YA'LL! YOU BETTER PRESS 'SEND' BY MIDNIGHT to get those e-File taxes to the IRS!!!!

Goat Yoga is so 2018 …The latest trend in yoga is Lemur Yoga – or, “Lemoga.” The Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa in England is the birthplace of this latest yoga fad, and it’s all thanks to group of lemurs that live in a nearby wildlife park. The class actually takes place in the wildlife park where lemurs like to practice their own form of yoga as a way to warm their bellies in the sunshine. While there you can also hike with alpacas and meet a family of meerkats. Sounds like an Instagrammer's dream! (Travel and Leisure)

GAME OF THRONES PICK-UP LINES

Last night was the much-anticipated return of Game of Thrones. It’s probably the only show these days that’s appointment viewing. Lots of people are watching it at the same time.

If you’re single, you might be able to use this to your advantage… by throwing out some Game of Thrones pick-up lines.

  • My little birds tell me that you want to grab drinks later.
  • Whatever you want to do I’ll return the favor, because a Lannister always pays his debts.

THE OFFICE: Annoying Habits of Co-Workers!

A Reddit thread asked users about the most annoying habits of their coworkers.

Some of the highlights – or lowlights – included:

  • Biting and spitting fingernails on the floor.
  • Talking out loud to a computer.
  • Giving daily reports and showing thousands of pictures of their kid.
  • Constant pen clicking.

How about you? Do you have a co-worker with a foul, disgusting habit? Have you confronted this co-worker? How awkward was that? Has a co-worker ever annoyed you so much that you walked away from the job?
