My thirty day goal for September is to take a photo every day. I'm going to just do a quick photo roundup each week to keep myself accountable.

I wish I could explain to all of you just how much time Zelda spends on my lap. If I am sitting down, there is a very high likelihood that the cat is near me. Unfortunately, the two of us huddled up on the couch is super hard to get photo evidence of, so I did my best here with the two of us while I was attempting to eat dinner.

It is official. Hannah's days of getting all three walks in the sunlight is down to one walk in the sunlight. Poor baby. Soon it will be zero. This is our morning walk.

My friend's mom sent me a recipe for ricciarelli, a type of Italian cookie, that is naturally gluten free. I went ahead and made it. It was fiddly as fuck (notice that it was very late at night by the time I finished) and the results aren't perfect - I didn't use enough powdered sugar and I didn't let them dry enough, so they didn't crack as much as they should have, but in my defense it was closing in on eleven o'clock on a work night). ANYWAY. They are delicious.

Someone took off work early to get her hair cut.
Hairstylist: What are we doing today?
Me: Cut it off. To my chin.
Hairstylist: No.
Me: Yes.
Hairstylist: Let's do shoulder length and if you want it shorter, we'll do that next time.
Me: Fine. Also, I want bangs. Sideswept bangs.
Hairstylist (squinting at me): Are you okay?
Me: Yes. I just want a change.
Hairstylist (stares at me suspiciously): How about we just do some long layers in the front and then if you want it to be more dramatic, we'll do that next time.
Me: Hmph.

The trees are changing. I am grumpy about this.

I have a friend in town and I took her to a food truck festival that was happening in Nowhere. We got egg rolls and loaded fries and bubble tea and I got this cinnamon pretzel for dessert. Look, it's not at all pretzel shape, but it was perfectly baked and delicious.

My friend is still in town and we went to a parade in a nearby town for their German festival. It was pretty lame, to be completely honest, but at least we went, right?

Did you do anything fun this weekend? See any parades? Eat from a food truck?
Your haircut looks FABULOUS, and also I think you have a keeper of a hair stylist -- the gentle pushing back sounds like someone who really cares about you! For the record, you would also look great with sideswept bangs.
ReplyDeleteI have probably shared these before and they perhaps haven't sounded good, but these are my FAVORITE naturally gluten free cookies: https://www.christinascucina.com/zimtsterne-german-cinnamon-stars/
I love Zelda. And I am feeling the same way about the leaves changing.
Your hair looks great and I love your stylist! The thing about bangs is that they require so much maintenance and trimming, although maybe sideswept are different? Idk I think you look great.
ReplyDeleteI made these GF no-bake cookie balls for my girls' party on Friday - I had made them before but forgot to put a note in my cookbook that they are super fiddly and crumbly and take FOREVER to "form into balls." They taste good but crikey. I need to note these things down!
