I am very much procrastining going to the bakery to make bagel dough for tomorrow, so instead I will write this post for your enjoyment. Well, I will probably start it and not finish it, but that will still allow me to procrastinate so it works for me! It’s 4pm on Monday Sept 7 and […]
Keeping You On Your Toes
Sorry to leave you in suspense yesterday…and Tuesday! I meant to post, but like I’ve said before, once I start to do things, there is no turning back to post. So here we are, a couple days late, but that’s ok! Don’t want things to get to MUNDANE around here during the quarantine…gotta keep things […]
I Need A New Title
Should I just keep calling these posts Monday Morning Coffee Chat? That’s what they are, but it seems repetitive! Anyway, hello friends, random readers, Mom, Dad- nice that you’re all here! I am writing this to you after going for a run and then I went to pick up bagels from the local bagel shop. […]
Gin & Tonic Diaries: 5 Things
Hello from me and my gin & tonic (yes I know it’s my gin & tonic and me)! I am coming at you because a very special reader asked when I would be posting next, so here we are! I have just poured myself a gin & tonic, let’s say, “for research” for our new […]
All the Things That Led Me Here
Hello from a cozy cafe in the center of Madrid. Oh wait, it’s my cafe and I am sitting here typing this post, taking a break from updating Excel sheets…which are driving me bonkers and are really boring so lucky you, I am going to write a quick post. Today is a little slow…actually, it’s […]
Pie Week 2019, Thanksgiving, Updates, & More
Well, hello there! And Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I feel like I am coming out of a hazy, pumpkin-scented fog! I haven’t checked in on here because not only have I not had time to sit down and write anything- I’ve barely had time to eat real, put-together meals, take showers that are longer than 4 […]
The Tale of a Stressful Day
Yesterday was one of those days that was just extremely stressful. It was like one thing on top of the next and I felt like I was putting out little fires, one after the next. Nothing legitimately bad happened, of course, but the day was exhausting to say the least. With that being said, I […]
28.
Today is my 28th birthday. That is so strange to thing/ say/ type/ experience. Time moves so quickly (I moved to Spain when I was 24) but also so slowly. I still remember when I was in preschool – wandering around the playground, picking up rocks, and the time the teacher gave me a huge […]
Pictures by the Day
Hey there! I’m writing to you at 10 am on a cozy Saturday morning. It’s cloudy and grey and there has been a POLAR VORTEX! So it’s like, 50 degrees and FREEZING! I’ve been up since 7 am because I had to make bagels for Bite Me (the place that sells my bagels) and it […]
Hangin’ with Meaghan
In the 4.5 years that I have lived in Spain, I have had a lot of friends that come and go, but one of my very best friends is Meaghan- a girl that randomly invited me to her Thanksgiving dinner (without ever having met her… is that grammatically correct?) because she wanted to order pumpkin […]
