Summer flew by! Now it’s September 1st and I have all my Mariah Carey Christmas songs on queue.
I kid, I kid.
But I did wear a scarf and boots yesterday in the blazing heat to celebrate the new season! I only got a few weird stares.
Here’s a quick little recap of the past couple months. They’ve been a blast! I’m looking forward to Fall though when I can shamelessly wear my scarves and boots daily. This summer we made a whole grain buttery blueberry breakfast cake….and it was delicious. If you have extra blueberries, make it! It’s never too late for cake.
I also wrote about my favorite food to eat while camping. Just a warning: it ain’t tofu.
Then it was my birthday and I wore some really high sparkly pink shoes to celebrate.
We learned the art of vegan ganache! And then used it to spread all over a very non-vegan peanut butter cake. If that’s wrong I never want to be right.
Somewhere in the midst of all that I made some cookies that were a big fail. Like, really. I can’t even talk about it.
And then my laptop and kindle sunk to the bottom of Lake Sonoma (smiling photo taken BEFORE everything went downhill). That was also a big fail and I won’t name any names. COUGH COUGH
I concocted the world’s best eggplant soup. <—-make it today!
and a really cute guy made me spaghetti….he’s a keeper.
…I also almost got shot on the interstate. But I don’t have a photo to document it so it might not have ever really happened.

oh no, your laptop and your kindle!
I adore that first photo.
And re-reading about all these experiences makes me jealous of your summer all over again!
Mmm – eggplant soup sounds delicious.

I second that!
Mariah Carey christmas is where its at….at least in my house every christmas season bahah
This just reminded me that I have to try making that ganache!
Fun summer! Except the nearly getting shot part and the sinking appliances. All the sparkles, food, and camping though = yay!
That eggplant soup was da bomb!
Eek – shot on the interstate! Now that sounds like an interesting story! LOVE those heels!
Make that shot *at* on the interstate!
It’s wild that it’s already September! Where did the summer go?!?!
I love the shoes & the recap
Is it too early for Mariah? I see spaghetti in the future…but sadly no cute guy. Darn…
Oh Mariah Carey Christmas songs are such goodies. LOVE.
I’m so excited for fall too!! Its my favorite time of the year
Wow, if we ever turn into a nation of survivalists–you & Adam will do it in BIG style!! Taking cues. Love the sparkly shoes against the pebbles, etc. :0
I LOVE LOVE the pics and your sparkly shoes are just adorable ..
I usually start the MC Christmas music around July….it became a college rule that I had to wait until November to push play on the Christmas music!
I was thinking the other day – “God people talking about Xmas already”..and then I realized I’m just giving into the ‘stereotype’ of people being stressed, etc…when in reality I love Christmas! So why not celebrate the good stuff right
i can’t wait for christmas music! i usually make myself wait til thanksgiving to start…but maybe earlier this year. i already broke out the pumpkin so who cares about tradition?
Holy crap! How did I miss that armed gunman in the hotel story?! Craziness…but other than that and the laptop it sounds like a great Summer!
I’m so with you on the Christmas music…haha!
And I remember those shoes…the vote. Totally love your choice.
You laugh about Mariah Carey but we were in a department store the other day and they had their Christmas decoration stands set up!
just the mention of that peanut butter cake and i can almost taste it again. sighhhh. the most perfect cake to just eat out of the pan with a fork
I didn’t realize your laptop did too! I thought it was just your kindle. That sucks!
You lost your laptop and your kindle and I swear you had iphone issues not too long ago either…girl…you and your electronics havent had a great month!
And the cookies, well,…they LOOK tasty
And the shoes. Oh, I loved them then when you posted about them, & love them now!
I don’t know where I was but I missed that eggplant soup! I need that in my belly like NOW!!!
Love that soup!
Wait, what? Why did you have your laptop and kindle out on the lake to start with?
Love the camping cookig stuff, that’s one of my very favorite things to do and I live and die for s’mores. Fact.
Boo for drowned electronics and almost getting shot – but yay for great eats and memories.
Maybe I missed the post about the laptop and kindle? That sounds like maybe a low point of your summer…? eek! But everything else made for an awesome summer.
hahaha yes…I didn’t mention it when it happened for a reason…it was awful. But everything is good now!
Cute recap – you have a way of making it all sound so whimsical…I’m sure there’s no whimsy in seeing your kindle sink to the bottom of a late but still – you’ve got a way with words!
That chicken looks divine, and those shoes? Can I steal them please?
Happy September!
I think I’d cry if my laptop sunk to the bottom of a lake! What a tragedy! For what it’s worth, I also wore a scarf today. To the farmer’s market. Where everyone was wearing shorts and tank tops. Oh well.
I did cry. I considered it a funeral at sea.
Digging the shoes! & also can’t wait to rock my scarves and boots this fall!
