thursday crumbs.

by kathleen on May 17, 2012

1.  not sure if i have shared this with you all, but i am slightly obsessed with bethenny frankel.  i adore her sass and her wardrobe.  equally.  and what i am loving right now is her new novel, skinnydipping, which a dear friend was kind enough to deliver me a signed copy of this weekend.  i about died.

2.  is there anything more annoying than getting in the car and realizing you are out of gas?

3.  i’ll answer that, yes, there is.  getting in the car, realizing you are out of gas, and then remembering that your husband was the last one to drive it.  jerk.face.

4.  you may have seen on chelsey’s blog that I picked up a loaf of great harvest cinnamon chip to bring her at our monthly brunch date and, knowing i would, by myself, devour the entire thing in 24 hours, patted myself on the back for abstaining from my own loaf (matt’s not eating bread these days.  that’s a whole other story.) well, after she rubbed it in my face shared the deliciousness on her blog all week, i had to get my own loaf yesterday.  it’s 60% demolished as of 8:15 this morning.  whoops.

5.  my lovely (ignoring #3) husband is graduating from law school this weekend.  i’m such a proud little wifey, and more than ready for a second income!  bring on the shopping spree.  (i kid, i kid.  and hope he’s not reading this.)

6.  speaking of shopping, though, i am loving the bright colors of spring!  in my typical j.crew obsessed fashion, i am coveting this light linen sweater, this cable knit caftan, and these 4 inch chino shorts.  (p.s. thank you to whoever introduced the 4 inchers.  last summer’s 3’s were booty baring on me and the 5’s a little too long.  4 is the perfect length.

7.  today’s work outfit: casual skirt, comfy tee, and some fancy-ish jewelry to tie it all together.  don’t mind the wet hair, i was running behind. or the annoying nails that i have yet to remove.

8.  inspired by one of my all time favorites, and someone I know I can trust when it comes to coffee, i added one pump of mocha to my morning misto today.  me oh my, delicious!  the full mochas are bit much for me (cost and sweetness wise), but this was perfection.

9.  these just about made my whole week.  giant cookies infused with my favorite kind of tea.  i’m scared to make them for i fear they will have a lifespan similar to (if not shorter than) my cinnamon chip bread.

10.  today’s thought.

weeknight chicken fajitas.

May 15, 2012

yesterday was a doozy on the work front.  despite parking myself at my desk shortly after 7:30 a.m., i didn’t walk in the door at home until around 7:00 p.m.  naturally i was greeted by a “so hungry i can barely function” husband. so i did what any doting wife would do and got started [...]

on my mind.

May 7, 2012

let’s chat.  you may have noticed.  lately this little blog of mine has had to take a backseat to some other things going on in my life (personally, professionally, socially – the whole shebang) and in all honestly, this has been stressing.me.out.   you see, when i started the daily crumb, i had dreams of becoming [...]
