It’s a long weekend, and that means you have extra time to do what makes you really happy. Anthony and I are heading up to Connecticut to visit some family & friends, hitting up Ikea for some new house stuff, and Vespa shopping. He’s been dying for a Vespa forever, and has been vehicle-less since we sold his beloved Smart Car last fall. He has a serious thing for impractical transportation, and for some reason I love to indulge him.

Once again, there are some really awesome people with fantastic ideas on the internet. Here are some of my favorites:

- How to Make a Wedding Cake from Etsy Weddings

- I love, love, love this apartment from Little Green Notebook
