I’m addicted…
I kid you not when I say that Cinnamon Chip Scones were probably one of the first three things that popped into my head this morning. (The other 2? “Why is Jay making so much noise right now…?” and “I really need to pee but I’m too lazy to get up.”)
To go along with my scone, I enjoyed a black cherry Chobani, which somebody else apparently had his eye on…creeper alert!
And of course, I sipped on my coffee. Mmmmm.
In case you’re wondering, we’ve been brewing Caramel Macchiato coffee from The Fresh Market these past few weeks. It’s probably one of my favorites, but a little pricier so we don’t but it too often.

Time to Learn Some ABCs!
Last week I was reading through Gabriela’s blog and absolutely loved her “Alphabet of Gabriela” post! Then yesterday, as I was getting ready to type up my own, I noticed that Julie had read my mind and posted her “ABC’s of PBF.” Great minds think alike!
So now, I’m going to go ahead and do my own ABC’s, because really, who doesn’t like learning a little bit more about “the face behind the blog”?!?
Enjoy!
A. Age: 27
B. Bed size: Queen…but we need a King. Jay’s a bed hog
C. Chore you hate: Returning cans and bottles
D. Dogs: They’re cute, but not for me right now. My heart belongs to this guy!
E. Essential start to your day: My morning mug-o-joe
F. Favorite color: Purple
G. Gold or silver: Silver, without a doubt
H. Height: 5’6 3/4 ” though I always say 5’7” (<—exactly the same as Julie!)
I. Instruments you play: I played clarinet in 5th grade but hated practicing, so I quit.
J. Job title: 5th Grade Teacher
K. Kids: None yet, but definitely in the future!
L. Live: Just outside of Albany, New York
M. Mom’s name: Pat

T. Time you wake up: Anywhere between 5:15 – 6:00 a.m. on weekdays (depending on if I workout in the AM) and it’s all over the place on weekends.

V. Vegetables you dislike: Fennel. Eeeeeew…

Y. Yummy food you make: Cupcakes, Cookies, Overnight French Toast
Z. Zoo animal favorite: I’ve only been to a zoo once, and I’ll have to say chimpanzees. I find them to be incredibly intriguing, and they totally make me laugh!
