Glued to My Laptop

November 22, 2009

After breakfast, I spent the rest of the morning glued to my laptop. I actually accomplished quite a bit in a short amount of time, which actually surprised me. Usually, I am easily distracted!

Mal had some grading to do for school, so he suggested that we work together at Cafe Arpeggio right down the street. I was all about getting out of the house and having a mini brain break, so I packed-up my laptop and walked over with him.

I sipped on a Snickerdoodle coffee while I worked. It was delish! I also busted out my Health post in no time!

After working diligently for almost 2 hours, Mal and I headed home for lunch, which included:

Carrots sticks and a pickle:

Half of a ham and Dubliner cheese sandwich on Nature’s Pride bread:

And Sweet Potato and Taro chips on the side.

A little while later, I craved something sweet, so I spread peanut butter on a piece of Sprouted Cinnamon Raisin Bread. It hit the spot. :-D

Oldies, but Goodies

I love stumbling across old blog posts that I’ve written. Usually, I forget all about them until I see them again, and then the memories come rushing back. Each time, it’s like a trip down memory lane.

Here are a few oldies, but goodies:

We’re having friends over to watch the Pats game this afternoon, so I’m thinking about baking a treat (perhaps some cookies?) for our guests. I wonder if I can throw together something delicious with what we have in the house? I always love a challenge! ;-)

I bet the snickerdoodle coffee tastes great, but I bet it smells even better.

I love football Sundays. I can’t wait to hear what you come up with in the kitchen!

Whenever I see pickles on someone’s blog, I’m reminded about how much I love them! Why don’t I buy them!?

Arpeggio looks so cute. My sister lives in Southie (near East 6th/L Street) and I’m always on the lookout for new places to visit!

Is that a Poang chair from IKEA I see? I love mine (and I assembled it myself!) ;)

Thanks for posting the old links – I love the christmas wrapping idea! I tried to wrap gifts in paper grocery bags a couple of years ago and it was kind of difficult – I think they’re a little too thick. But the store shopping bags, I think, would work much better!

Being a “newer” reader I really liked reading some of your older posts, particularly the post about your mom’s job. Also, snickerdoodle coffee sounds *amazing*!

The great thing about cookies is that you can make them out of anything!

Um does finishing New Moon count as productive? If so I was insanely productive today ;)

Isn’t it wonderful when you’re in the zone and can just crank out a ton of work? I’m needing some of that motivation right now for grad school apps!

Those sweet potato taro chips look delish. I love quick bursts of productivity. I, too, get easily distracted. I blame the modern world! Kudos on the writing bustle.

And that post about starting a blog was so timely for me because I started up right around then and your tips helped me out a ton

My favorite posts of yours are when you go out to restaurants or out on the town. I live in Boston and I’ve found quite a few restaurants I’d never heard of from your blog. I also just like seeing what people order…is that weird?
