My Thursday involved lots of B’s:
Break
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.
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.
It’s not a done deal, not yet. But it’s a strong contender.
Baking happened
Bowls of chocolate happened
Then these bad boys happened
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!
I had Friday off, but we call it Remembrance day in Canada :-)
I loved hearing the spatual story, though I am sad it broke :(
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 :)
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.
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.
LOL at the oreo balls comment but not the break :(
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!
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 …
Is that new donut variety?!
yes
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!
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!
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.
