this & that, volume 3

Original post appeared here

I have to say, I am a bit surprised at myself but also impressed that I’ve managed to do this series for 3 weeks in a row. This was, after all, the goal… but I’m glad to be sticking to it!

This weekend started off with celebrating Taryn’s birthday. The girl spent 2 days preparing and cooking food for 13 of her friends… for her own birthday! She’s amazing.

Then, Saturday morning, I hit the road with a friend to go back to Ann Arbor for Idan’s MBA winter formal. It was basically college again and SO MUCH FUN! I have to say it’s nice to be able to experience the fun parts of the MBA program without having to do the work ;) It was a quick trip and I just got back to Chicago, less than 36 hours later!

I just did the dishes and am chilling out with a candle and this chill playlist, so let’s move onto this week’s links, yeah?
