I just took this picture. Today. In SEPTEMBER.
For shame, Bloomingdale’s. For shame.
Does anyone actually find this to be acceptable?

Pumpkin bread pudding
I just came across this recipe via Cupcakes and Cashmere.
I’m really excited about it for precisely five reasons:
- If I’m a crack whore, pumpkin-flavored anything is my crack.*
- I’m also fighting an equally crippling addiction to bread pudding.
- Bourbon is an optional ingredient (I opt for yes!)
- It includes a shortcut for lazy people (thank you!)
- The recipe only involves two steps, so I’m pretty sure I can make it. All by myself!
*Note: I will not accept pumpkin-flavored food and/or drinks in exchange for sex.

I “love” this blog
And by “love” I just mean love.
Unnecessary quotation marks are both annoying and hilariously confusing, as evidenced by The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.
It’s “pretty funny.”
No, really it is.
Seaside sky
Last photos from Rockport, I promise. But how cool is this sky?
Boom goes the dynamite
In case you ever thought that Michael Jordan wasn’t an awesome basketball player:
Crazy. The man must have springs for feet. That’s the only explanation.
Happy Monday! Hope your week is a slam dunk! (… is what I would say if I was a Hallmark card.)
Hey J. Crew – you can do better
I’ve been waiting almost 3 months now for this $60 J. Crew scarf to go on sale. (Sixty dollars! I could buy 30 egg and cheese croissant sandwiches from Dunkin Donuts for that much! Don’t ask me why I know that!)
So I’ve been patiently, diligently checking the sale section of their website and FINALLY! There it is! On sale!
For $50.
Oh gee, thanks J. Crew. You really threw me a bone there. Spending $60 on frivolous neckwear is ridiculous, but $50? Why not? Who needs 25 egg and cheese croissant sandwiches from Dunkin Donuts? Not me! I eat money for breakfast!
I’m not mad… just disappointed. That is all.
Chicago Tribune headline
“Forecasters predict warmer, drier than normal fall — but cold, wet winter could follow.”
I think I just set the record for fastest transition from smiling to frowning.
I’ve met my soul-plates
This dinnerware from Anthropologie was featured on Daily Candy this morning. And I can’t help but think how great it would look on my table. How fabulous it would be underneath a slice of frozen pizza or Trader Joe’s macaroni & cheese (I’m trying to make these scenarios realistic).
And now I must have them.
I’d also like to point out that Christmas is a mere three months away. (MOM – ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION??)

“Nice boots! Jesus!”
This is what an elderly man said to me as I got on the bus today.
I’m not sure how to take it, 1) because the boots I’m wearing are not particularly remarkable, and 2) because the way he said it made it very unclear as to whether it was a compliment and he really loved my boots, or if he was actually disgusted by them.
I think the most likely explanation is that his reaction was the result of mild senility and/or Tourette’s Syndrome.
Is it the weekend yet?
Rockport, pt. 2
It’s places like this that make you wonder why you live where you do. Especially if you live in Detroit. Or Gary, Indiana. For example.
Relaxing, walking, eating and hanging out with family I don’t get to see very often – this trip to Rockport was just what I needed.
If any of you are planning an East Coast trip and want info on the area, hit me up! I have some great restaurant recommendations.
