Happy Weekend

Hooray weekend! This was not one of my favorite weeks so I’m glad to see it go. I have no big plans and if anything comes up that includes changing out of my big comfy slippers, I’m not interested. I think I’ll bake a loaf of bread and knock out a couple of chapters in A Casual Vacancy. 

What about you, anything cooking on the first weekend in the new year?

Until then, here are six things I’ve enjoyed this week:

+ Hilarious staged photos of bug memorials. Have I mentioned I love the Internet?

+ How to make decorative waxed paper for gifting baked goods

+ Sea-creature inspired hanging lamps. Cool? yes. Would I hang them in my house? Probably not.

+ Single serve, deep-dish cookie recipe. #fat

+ Then and Now: composite photos of a now-abandoned school in Detroit, with scenes from when it was in use. Rather sad to think about a place with so many memories just sitting empty.

+ Favorite winter song: "White Winter Hymnal" by Fleet Foxes

Bonus: I made a little playlist of all the songs from past Happy Weekend posts on Grooveshark. You don't have to have an account to listen, check it out here.

Until next week!
