it's friday, i'm in love.

and it’s june, too, you guys! can you believe it? i can’t, and said so to a co-worker today. the first week of june is over. crazy. however, this also means that i’m that much closer to my eight-day july vacation, and i couldn’t be happier about that. friends, fun and an escape from the dreadful 95-plus-degree florida weather – joy!

anyway, as is becoming custom on friday, i think i’ll leave you with some random thoughts and links. i hope you have a wonderful weekend; i’ll be back on monday with something pretty and new.

+ if you’re local, get thee to one of the restaurants on this site. savor sarasota restaurant week is over on sunday, but until then you have the chance to sample $15 three-course lunches and $25 three- (sometimes four-) course dinners from some of the area’s top eateries. i’m hitting up one of them tonight; not sure which yet, but i’ll be sure to report back on monday.

+ a new discovery for me, but not for the rest of the world: nicole’s wonderful blog, making it lovely. not only is the site well-designed (lovely, if you will), but her home is gorgeous and her dog is adorable. read. love.

+ the june/july domino is out…yay! i plan on spending sunday curled up on my couch with it and oscar, watching whatever romantic comedy happens to be on tbs and drinking iced green tea in my pajama pants with the air conditioner on. doesn’t that sound nice?

+ discovered via oh joy!: this great soap giftbox by skinny skinny. it’s in the shape of a book and it’s filled with soap – what’s not to love?

+ if you haven’t, and you want to, go see sex and the city: the movie. it’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but as one blogger wrote, it’s packaged like it’s a gift to fans, and it is – undeniably entertaining. if you want to check out my personal review, you can click right here; i’d give it a solid “b” grade.

that’s it! have a wonderful early summer weekend. xx. (image above from one of my favorite movies ever, big fish.)
