Sweet Treats

I must admit I have a bit of a sweet tooth. This post is dedicated to the sweet treats I’ve had this summer that I actually took pictures of and really enjoyed! Just because I feel like sharing about them. 😁

I had this churro shake from Big Buns D#*! Good Burgers back in May. It was delicious! It’s a seasonal shake and I couldn’t stop thinking about it afterward because it was so good. 🤣

I went to Bruster’s Real Ice Cream one day in June and saw that they had Key Lime Pie ice cream. I had never seen it on the menu before and decided to try it. 

I loved it. It was sweet and a little tangy with chunks of graham cracker swirl in it. They don’t always have it on the menu but whenever they do, I get it. :)

I love cookies. I used to make them more frequently, but now only make them for special occasions. 

My brother and his family came over to my apartment one Saturday in July and I decided to make some cookies to share with them. I made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and they were delicious! 

Just the other day I went grocery shopping and I noticed they had Reese’s pumpkins out now. Of course I had to buy a couple of them.

Although I can’t believe it’s already that time of year for these to be at the store again, I am happy about it. :)

Recently I went with some friends to bartaco and for dessert I got churros. 

The churros were soooo good! They were warm and sweet and soft and crunchy. I already want to go back just for the churros. 😋 

What are some delicious sweet treats you’ve had this summer?

My Laptop

This is a boring post about my laptop for my own records. Try not to fall asleep. ;)

Two or three weeks ago I noticed that my laptop stopped charging. I was hoping I just needed a new cord because that is a simple, relatively cheap fix.

I bought a new cord and alas it did not help. My laptop still wouldn’t charge. Before the battery died, I made sure all of my files and pictures etc were backed up onto my external hard drive (thinking I might not be using this laptop anymore). 

I contemplated buying a new laptop but I can’t really afford that right now. Then I realized why don’t I try to get my laptop fixed. If it’s just my charging port that needs to be fixed then it should cost less than buying a whole new computer. 

Instead of making an appointment to get my laptop fixed right away, though, I decided on a temporary solution. I decided to see if I could use my phone as my computer for awhile. 

I knew if I was going to do that I needed to buy a cheap Bluetooth keyboard that I could connect to my phone (because typing emails and blogposts with the phone keyboard is really annoying to me). 

So I bought the keyboard and have been using my phone as I do my laptop. With the keyboard it does make some things more tolerable to do than before that I normally wouldn’t do on my phone (like typing emails).

But after a couple of weeks of using my phone as I would my computer, I decided I need to get my laptop fixed. (I am currently writing this blogpost on my phone. It’s fine, but it’s much easier to write on my laptop.)

I have an appointment for later today to take my laptop into a computer repair place and hopefully they can fix it. Wish me luck.
