And me this week? I…

  • Dog sat a pouty pooch while my boyfriend’s dad was out of state.
  • Worked 40+ hours at the paper, with coverage including an insane series of crashes on the highway for the paper. Be safe motorists!
  • Had dinner at Peppino’s and Bubble Island in East Lansing with my little sister.
  • Posted the end result of my shoot with Daighna Photography!
  • Celebrated national beer day at the taproom for trivia.
  • Visited my parents for the weekend. My mom bakes so many things, so this weekend I got to try some breads and a delicious coffeecake.
  • Had an awesome reunion with my college roommates. We ate at Zingerman’s Roadhouse in Ann Arbor and followed it up with some downtown bar hopping at Babs and 8 Ball.
  • Celebrated my beloved Red Wings clinching a playoff spot for the 24th year in a row!

      I know! It’s crazy! There was a point where we couldn’t vote, and now one of us might become PRESIDENT?! Insane!

      Ahhhhh I’m glad you share my love of A2! I used to work downtown and I miss it so much, so I’m glad my college roommate lives there and works at Zingerman’s so I have excuses to visit! 🙂 And I know! Anne is so talented!
