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!

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.  […]

Updates a Spoonful of TLC

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

Meghan in Madrid

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 […]
