:: weekend notes ::

We had a really busy Saturday (not pictured) followed by a very lazy Sunday. My sister and I are just four days (+ four years) apart, so in lieu of exchanging gifts we spent a belated birthday weekend together, drinking tea and baking cookies and eating cake and re-watching the entire season of Veep.

We picked up olives and dips from the farmer's market and grazed for nearly every meal that wasn't dessert.

We've always loved each other fiercely, but growing up we fought with equal intensity. It's pretty wonderful to finally be getting old enough that we can really be friends. I love you, R.


I did not make that cake, by the way, it's the vanilla-lemon berry from Vanilla Bakeshop. D and I realized it was the same one we cut at our wedding, but neither of us could remember how it tasted. Turns out it's pretty good.
