{Mid-hike blackberry picking in Mill Valley}

This week was full of little frustrations that kept piling up. None of them even merit mentioning (except that I apologize my comments haven't been functioning properly for over a week!), but things are turning back around. For starters, it's Friday, and this weekend is packed with fun plans - including the Los Angeles Beer Festival. Also, I just started a new book (Gone Girl) that makes me excited about climbing into bed each night. Best feeling ever. I hope you have a great weekend.
