At first I thought the last one said gummy bears, and then I saw the picture. Hahaha. I need a bakery to open up near me. Ok...maybe not.
ReplyDeleteOh, the bakery would be the end of me! I love my baked goods!
ReplyDeleteThe one about CB and the train is hilarious!
ReplyDeletewell now I add Crumb to the list of places i have to stop at when there in october!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that the marathon banners were already out in the loop! But I guess we are just over a month away here now, yikes that gave me chills. So with all the craziness that you have been dealing with for your legs, august was a surpurb month for you! How many yoga classes did you get in?
ReplyDeleteThat truffle risotto looks to die for, I wish my hubby liked risotto because I think it is delish.
Sounds like a great month! Sounds like your training and everything else is back on track after having somewhat of a bumpy July. That Chicago Marathon banner is indeed awesome.
ReplyDeleteand I'm with Laura about CB and the train, lol
