Bites of My Life

We love a short week. We loooove a short week after a long weekend. Can we do it again this week?

I wish I was sleeping in for one more weekend day this morning. However, I will say that “summer” gives each week a more easy going feel. Even when things are busy, they still feel more relaxed. I love having more sunlight to get things done and/or just enjoy more of the day! Yesterday was intended to be a lazy day, but I did some yoga, got two two walks in, a grocery trip run, some meal prepping, ordered a ton of photos to be printed, vacuumed, did laundry, and also watched a lot of TV. I didn’t mean to be so productive, but it just kind of happened. The long days of summer is one of my favorite parts of the season.

-Outtakes from the long weekend! Who knew Katy Trail Ice House had such good lighting??
-Obsessed with my Sleeper look-a-like dress I got for my birthday. Purchased from this Etsy shop.
-Another birthday treat post-birthday showed up last week. I’ve been bullying my friend Anna who lives in DC to go to Tatte Bakery since I saw they opened. It looks like what my dreams are made of. Until I can go on my own, Anna sent me some goodies to tide me over. Inside was the most delicious homemade granola and candied nuts!
-Belated birthday lunch at Rise! Go for the souffle, stay for the Nicoise salad.
-Another birthday gift came in and is now sized and ready to wear! I really wanted a vintage pinky signet ring with my initials, but of course, I had something in my head that I couldn’t find or was upwards $1,000. Kathleen found this little guy on a new-to-me site called Italic. I’m so happy with it!
-The summer ice cream, froyo, custard, cold sweet treat craving is unmatched. Treated myself to Friday froyo and an early bedtime post-happy hour!
-Protein pancakes for Saturday morning!
-St. Paul and the Broken Bones!!! After missing them twice at The Jones, I was thriiiiiled to get the invite to a mini show they had in Dallas at the new Thompson hotel. This picture is not of St. Paul, but a great afternoon with them too :)
-Still perfecting my Cava order, and I think we may have hit it. One more test run then I’ll share with the class.
