It's been a particularly annoying week at work, and it's only Wednesday. I've found that when your day feels like a punch in the face, stuffing some food in there puts things back in their proper place for a moment. I don't mean scarfing down a bag of potato chips or a box of Girl Scout cookies in a fit of frustration/anger/tears (although sometimes, that's necessary), but I mean taking a few minutes, going for a walk, treating yourself to something you love and savoring every bit of it. So yesterday, I visited the bakery down the street from my office and learned when life gives you lemon bars, suddenly things don't seem so bad. Here's hoping we all have wonderful Wednesdays.
looks delicious! i hope your week gets a little better :)
ReplyDeleteI do that too with a coffee place that has chocolate smoothies! Hope you have a great day today!
ReplyDeleteI woke up and thought it was Tuesday. It really made my week to realize it was, in fact, not Tuesday and this stupid work-week is half over. I want a lemon bar now.
ReplyDeleteOh the delectable deliciousness of lemon bars! Truly happy Wednesday to you, dear friend. <3 Jenn.
ReplyDeleteUgh I hate days like that. At least we have lemon bars to cheer us up!
ReplyDeleteI adore this post and couldn't agree more. What is up w/ this week?!? I guess it's why I, too, have been sneaking in some leftover Easter candy. A lemon bar would be much better. Here's to hoping the weekend is way better. I like to live by the mantra, "After every bad day is a good day!" xo
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSS PLEASE!!!!
ReplyDeleteYUM!!!!

ReplyDeleteI could not agree more! I always have a dove chocolate or two on hand for when life throws poo at me.
Good morning from Tokyo!
ReplyDeleteMy mother has the most wonderful lemon bar recipe and you're so right~it's like tasting a little bit of sunshine. I hope the rest of your week is a good one. Actually, better than good~fantastic!
Warmly,
Elizabeth
You're halfway through! (And now have me craving lemon bars!)
ReplyDeleteThat is my kind of cure for the Wednesday (or any day) blues.
ReplyDeleteI love lemon squares too... and I can see how they could turn your mood around!
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of your week goes better!

sorry you're having a rough week girl :(. but i like your idea for giving yourself a boost - a true treat rather than mindless junk food really can be a bright spot in your day.
ReplyDeletemy indulgence on a bad day is a biscotti and a latte from stumptown. somehow coffee always makes everything seem a little more ok. :).
hope your week gets better!
Whoa. I hope all is well now! I have those days too. Maybe this is why I bake a lot ;) Take it easy.
