been caught treating.

don't be surprised if you see me carrying this tray of coffee everyday this week. starbucks is doing their treat receipts again. my co-worker usually grabs his morning coffee and gives me his receipt. i've been good about bringing home-brewed coffee to work in the morning. unfortunately, it's weak (not by choice!)...so when the afternoon rolls around,

i'm usually jonesing for a strong cup.

it works out.

i hope he gives me his receipt tomorrow, too.

we're heading to the beach after work for dinner. on a weekday.

i love summer.

treat receipt.

a co-worker's wife made this lavosh...so good.

she's the same one that made these delicious scones.

stilettos and diaper bags

don't get waisted.

 the weekends have been flying by.

the good thing is that they have been filled

to the brim with good times.

in between the weird summer rain showers,

we have been blessed with glorious sunshine as well

and have been taking full advantage of it.

we spent both days at the beach swimming, stand-up paddling, body surfing, and picnicking.

i was even able to meet up with some friends

for an adult beverage...or two.

i got these shorts during the birthday shopping spree a couple months ago. it was a down-to-the-last-second impulse grab that i knew i probably wouldn't wear. although i love the look of

high-waisted shorts, it makes my already short torso

look even shorter.
