My Thursday involved lots of B’s:

Break

Pink silicone spatula with broken handle

I’ve had this spatula since my pregnancy.  I remember standing in my kitchen making homemade vegan gluten-free granola and scraping down the pot with it.  I had a rough pregnancy and I was very morning sick all-day sick for much of my pregnancy, but I loved granola and will always remember standing in my kitchen with that pink spatula knowing that I had a pink bun in my own oven while I was making granola.  That was 5+ years ago now.

Time flies.  And breaks happen.

The handle got caught in my utensils drawer the wrong way and when I opened the drawer, snap, crackle, pop.  I’m sad to see it go but it’s a full moon and things have a tendency to break on full moons.

Busy parking lot and busy stores.  I wanted to get some grocery shopping done before the (holiday) weekend.  Apparently so did the rest of San Diego.  What a zoo!

Happy Veteran’s Day to everyone.  I admit, this holiday snuck up on me until I was informed Skylar didn’t have school Friday.

Bike.  I went bike shopping for the little princess.

Pink bicycle with white basket and pink and white streamers

Her grandma and grandpa are considering getting her a bike for Christmas and they requested that I check out bike stores in the area in the hopes of finding something suitable.

I think she’d love it.

Baking happened

Bowls of chocolate happened

Then these bad boys happened

Donuts baking in baking pan

If you’re really craving a donut, try these buns on for size.  You can make them as muffins rather than donuts if you don’t have a donut pan.

Questions:

1. Do you have Veterean’s Day off?  Weekend plans?

2. Broken anything recently that you wish you hadn’t or that has some memories attached?

Something as silly as a spatula has some nostalgic memories for me.

Same with a favorite curling iron that bit the dust as well as a pair of sunglasses.  They reminded me of all the events I got ready for, all the times I did my hair obsessing over whether it looked okay or not and what my life was like when I bought that curling iron 10+ years ago!

And certain sunglasses that have broken over the years remind me of times spent on certain and favorite vacations, or what car I was driving when I had a certain pair of shades.

Have a great weekend and thanks for the Natural Protein & Energy Drink Giveaway entries!

  1. I had last Friday off as my boss is away this Friday and needed me to swap. But it’s okay, it wasn’t like I felt like celebrating anyway as it’s Remembrance Day – not really a ‘holiday’ to enjoy! But I sure did enjoy last Friday off – got to go over the border and do some good ol’ Target shopping :)

  2. Cute bike, looks perfect for her! Nope, I didn’t get Friday off and I have to work overtime today. :-( Oh well, extra $$$ for Christmas is good. And I broke one of my favorite coffee mugs which was a bummer.

  3. Awww, that’s as sad as me breaking my mom’s electric mixer she’d had since she got married 25 years ago! It made it through 3 kids and a divorce but couldn’t handle my oreo balls.

  4. Cutest bike ever! The streamers are totally the best part. I unfortunately get super attached to things like kitchen utensils so I feel your pain on the spatula.
    The first “grown up” jewelry ever bought for myself was a 14k gold ring with a 1ct peridot (my birth stone). I wore it for 6 years every single day. One day it came off when I was washing dishes and I didn’t realize it till I turned on the disposal and the ring came flying out of the sink, completely chewed up. I still have it tucked away in my jewelry box. The stone is fine, so one day I may get it reset but it’s nice to know that it’s still around!

  5. That bike is truly adorable! I haven’t broken anything lately, but I’ll bite my tongue :) This weekend I’m hosting a ‘Sweatsgiving’ party with some friends. We are doing pot luck Thanksgiving, but the catch is that everyone has to be extremely comfortable in sweats! I wish this were true on actual Thanksgiving …

  6. Every time you make/show doughnuts, you push me thismuch closer to finally buying a doughnut pan… ;)

    I get really attached to objects sometimes – even though I know it’s silly, I’ll stubbornly use the same thing until it breaks or dies. I had one cigarette lighter all through high school (back in my smoking days – bad me!), and I even used ONE pencil eraser (the big pink kind) from first grade until I got to college. No joke, those things last forever!

    1. girl they’re like 8 bucks…cheap thrills baby. I think you’d love it considering how much you cook and how much you know your way around the kitchen.

      cute eraser story!

  7. What a cute bike! I wish my husband had Veteran’s Day off, but no such luck. We really could have used a 3-day weekend together!

    Thankfully I haven’t broken anything in a good long while. Because I have no desire to deal with that today.
