eat make read

This past week has been one where I feel like I’m living in my dream life… My little side project Remedy Quarterly has turned into a ful-fledged project that is really going to happen. I am beyond thrilled to say the least, so this week I really wanted to celebrate. I found a cocktail called dream a little dream, a little cheesy, I admit, but I thought it sounded just right. Unfortunately I didn’t have exactly the right ingredients, but they’re close enough and right now, that’s all that counts. Plus, it turned our tasting super fancy and you can’t beat that.

So cheers! To all of you who’ve helped make Remedy a reality and to everyone who’d doing something that makes them happy! Let’s have a great weekend! Woohoo!
