Best of the week:
♥ My mom had a week and a half off work, and it's been great having extra time to spend with her.
♥ Coffee with my best friends is always the highlight of my week.
♥ Getting excited about attending an advance screening of Despicable Me 2. It's not just for kids, y'know! :)
Little things which made me smile:
♥ This photo of Ellen and Portia's shoe closet ♥ Apparently it's weird to have a favourite verb tense. (Mine is subjunctive, by the way). ♥ Sunny summer days. ♥ Nectarines. ♥ Demi. ♥ I'm not sure if this is real, but it made me laugh. ♥
