hello friends. how was your weekend? mine was good.

do you ever have those times when you know you should be getting stuff done, but you just don't feel like doing it? that was my weekend. sometimes it is good to be lazy. take a little break from the day to day. but, but now it's time to get motivated.

i did manage to make up a batch of these. the dough is still chilling in the refrigerator and will be ready for baking later today. i'll let you know how they are.

here are a few things i discovered this weekend:

my friend derek has updated his website with some really great work.

some wonderful photos from attic photograph.

jenny in the new domino magazine.

i am now addicted to this show.

i am going to austin for labor day weekend! i have been there before, but please let me know if anyone has any amazing food, shopping, or fun tips. i can't wait to eat tacos everyday!

have a good day.

people are beautiful.
