how is everyone this (lazy) holiday morning?!
i'm fantastic... just in case you were wondering. :)
today is one of those mornings when life is just good.
happy music-baking-motivated-i'm gonna go on a long run-type of morning!
so i have to work on my motivation to try this... because you know me, i am a very lazy person when it comes to my hair. anything that takes over an hour to do just isn't worth it in my book.
this one looks like it could take a while...
and you remember that granola that we made like, two days ago?
it's gone!
crisis! i need to make some more!!!
this time, i think i'm going to try this recipe. and then maybe this one. this one??? (i have a surplus of recipes, most of which i haven't had the chance to try yet!)
