Glued to My Laptop
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. 
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:
- My pizza recipe was a finalist in a Boboli contest: Vote for My Pizza
- I met some great blog friends this day: Starbucks Tazo Tea Tasting
- The time that I interviewed my mom about her job.
- I totally forgot that I wrote this post! So, You Want to Start a Blog?
- A timely post about how to have a Greener Holiday.
- And my Year End Review of 2008, which highlights some neat things that happened to me over the course of the year.
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!

That sounds amazing. Love the chips

Yumm.. those chips look fantastic! and quite pretty, too.

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!

I’m hoping we get to profit from your cookie experiment with a yummy recipe tonight

I hope you know that I am obsessed with your blog. You are such an inspiration! You aren’t 100% about your diet because you are real. Couldn’t stop clicking the links to your old entries! My have things changed! BTW reading this as I work.

Love the outfit…super cute.

I love reading old blog posts, even though I’ve only been blogging for 3 months!

Is that a Poang chair from IKEA I see? I love mine (and I assembled it myself!)
Erin — November 22, 2009 @ 4:33 pm
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!
Jessie — November 22, 2009 @ 4:38 pm
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*!
Estela @ Weekly Bite — November 22, 2009 @ 4:38 pm
Looks like a great Sunday!
Kara — November 22, 2009 @ 4:47 pm
Aw, I was reading your “So you want to start a blog” post earlier this week! It was nice to read some pointers from a pro even though I’m not completely new to this
melissa — November 22, 2009 @ 4:55 pm
i need to follow your lead and be productive today!
Katie — November 22, 2009 @ 4:59 pm
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
Chloe (No Sugar and Spice) — November 22, 2009 @ 5:04 pm
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!
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) — November 22, 2009 @ 5:22 pm
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.

Snickerdoodle coffee sounds awesome.
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
MelissaNibbles — November 22, 2009 @ 5:55 pm
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?
Tasha - The Clean Eating Mama — November 22, 2009 @ 5:59 pm
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your scarf! I have been on the search for months for one like that!
Madelin @ What is for breakfast? — November 22, 2009 @ 6:24 pm
Thanks for the old posts Tina! I am usually glued to my laptop like that too

Brie (The Fit Bride) — November 22, 2009 @ 6:54 pm
I like your scarf and your sandwich. In that order.
Cynthia (It All Changes) — November 22, 2009 @ 9:35 pm
