My summer vacation is going really well so far, and I'm getting so much done! I absolutely love marking things off of my to-do list, having time to exercise, and still having plenty of time to relax. I'm trying to make the most of every day though, because I'm pretty sure I'm going to blink and it will be over.
-We had a great weekend! We went to our favorite restaurant with friends on Friday, had a going away party at the park for some some friends Saturday morning, went to a surprise graduation celebration for another friend Saturday night, and spent yesterday evening celebrating Father's Day with my parents. It was a busier weekend than we usually have, but it was so much fun!
-I've been a reading machine lately, and just finished Catching Fire on Saturday. For as unsure as I was about this series in the beginning, they're so addicting. I'm plugging away at my summer reading list, and am going to read a few other books on my list before I get to Mockingjay.
-We're dog-sitting for my parents soon, and I can't wait to use their HBO to watch season 3 of True Blood! I'll be interested to see if we can squeeze in the whole season in a 4-day span.... althought it would be pretty pathetic if we did.
-On the trip that I will leave for next week I will have a bachelorette party, a rehearsal dinner, a bridal shower, and 2 weddings! I can't wait for all of the fun wedding celebrations for several different brides, but the stress over what to wear to all of these fun parties is getting to me! I'm trying really hard to make use of what I have, and not buy anything new. It's not nearly as much fun, but I do enjoy saving the money.
-It must be the heat, but I am obsessed with the idea of lemon desserts right now. I think I've pinned 3 different lemon recipes on Pinterest lately, and I can't wait to make some of them. The idea of lemon bars is so much more appetizing than a bunch of chocolate in this heat.
Well, those odds and ends weren't nearly as meaningful as I meant for them to be! I'm off to watch my friends adorable baby boy this afternoon, before going to the gym, and making a new recipe for dinner tonight (gasp, I'm actually cooking).
I hope your week is off to a great start!

A weekend of True Blood sounds great to me! I think Martha Stewart's lemon bar recipe is pretty good and it's easy if you need another option!
Okay, so random but I saw one of the lemon bar recipes you pinned on Pinterest and made it on Saturday. It was a random website but based on a Pioneer Woman recipe. Anyway, I made it w/ key lime juice instead of lemon b/c I just happened to have some. They were very yummy but I thought the lemon/lime filling to crust ration was a little off. I would have liked more filling. My husband didn't seem to mind though. Just thought I'd let you know. :)
