This picture pretty much sums up my life right now. I’m on a soft food diet so I’m living on ice cream, yogurt and soup. Trying to simplify my life, find a way to relax and get rid of this awful tmj pain. The muscle relaxers were fun at first but feeling drunk all day is getting old. Tomorrow I will be making an appointment with an acupuncturist and hopefully that will fix me.  To occupy myself tonight, the mister and I went to an auction. It was kind of a bust but we did find a few things that I will post about tomorrow. Goodnight.

Today was a long day. I had a doctor’s appointment (diagnosis TMJ) and many errands to run. After dinner we went on a much needed ice cream date. This place is so cute and filled with vintage decor. They have lots of formica tables as seating and the one we sat at had adorable apples printed on it!

I’m off to relax (doctor’s orders) and veg out to Bethenny Getting Married? I can’t help it I love that show!

In Friday’s post I mentioned something about making a peach pie from scratch. Let’s just say that didn’t happen but we did make whoopie pies instead. The recipe we used ended up being a little different than the whoopie pies we’re used to here in central PA but they were still pretty good. In my search for recipes I found a few articles online calling whoopie pies the next cupcake. It made me laugh because I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life, and here they are so common you can buy them at any gas station or farmer’s market. No need to go to the bakery.

On Wednesday we went to the local farmer’s market. We came home with lots of yummy produce, including a giant watermelon and peaches. I’m going to try my hand at baking a peach pie from scratch this weekend. I’ll let you know how it turns out. If it’s any good I can cross one item off of my 27 before 27 list which is successfully bake a pie from scratch.

The day started off rainy and muddy but later the sun decided to make a bright appearance.

Last night the mister and I went to an estate sale. We only spent eleven dollars and came away with lots of good finds.

My best friend Tamara is getting married at the end of August and leaving me for nyc:( Although I will be missing my best,  I am so happy for her and the new journey she has ahead of her. Yesterday was her bridal shower and her mom put together an adorable tea party.
