beautiful elysium: TGIF - Whatcha Up To?

TGIF~~ My best friend, aka "the WEEKEND" is finally here.
It has been a long and tough week for me both at work and home.
My puppy, Speedz continues to brave through various symptoms indicative of some sort of an autoimmune disease. We are waiting for the biopsy results to come back from those excellent doctors at the veterinary hospital of UPenn. In the meantime, our boy continues to be sluggish, which breaks my heart... Thank you guys for caring.

Here are some things that made me smile and cheer up this week.

The picture above, my friends, is that of Almafi Coast, which to me looks like paradise. My husband has been there during his younger days and tells me it's absolutely beautiful. Vogue did a photo spread of a couple's wedding held at Almafi Coast. The bride looks so beautiful (and young!). Um, yes, I hate her.

It's Father's Day weekend. I have to admit that I don't get too creative with my father's day gifts. I will likely be getting my dad another golf shirt with a little crocodile thing on the front pocket. (And yes, I note that I have to do this like by tomorrow morning!) But I may put in the effort to download and print out this card.

I also want to check out the local farmer's market for a vegetable called "scape". My blogger friend Laicie of 1000 Threads made this grilled cheese sandwich below.
