Five great things I did this week: 1. Had a wonderful catch up dinner with good friends at Little Star pizza in the Mission.slide-3-little-star3 (photo credit to Refinery 29)

2. Finished reading this book by Emily Giffin and started reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - looking for some writing inspiration!

3. Made this amazing soup-stew for the thirtieth time this month:DSC_9255 (go to this post to see how it's done!)

4. Dreamed about deep sea diving after reading this tempting travel post by one of my new favorite bloggers.

5. Searched for American flag shorts to celebrate the Fourth of July (too bad I didn't find this tutorial until today!) american-flag-cutoffs183
