Inspired my current foray into quilting (my hobby is usually “buying materials for craft projects that I won’t actually finish” but I’ve managed to make pretty decent progress on a few quilts over the past few months), I have been seeing quilt patterns while out and about. Today: this beautiful wall at the new Bakery…
Seriously. I joined a gym near my home (Mint) and was a little concerned because I take a class that ends at 7:50 when my work day starts at 8, so I wouldn’t have time to go get my cheap coffee from McD’s. Well it turns out not to be a problem because my gym…
I work from the office one day a week. I pass the following on my walk: three McDonalds, two Wawas, one 7-11, two independent coffee shops, two Dunkins, one Starbucks, one Bluestone Lane, one Pret a Manger, and one Panera. At least. But the office has three coffee machines so I pass by each of…
Oh, what a disappointing Sunday it is. I went to The Cake Room to get my coffee this morning.

Here’s the thing about Wawa: Free Coffee Tuesdays. Wawa isn’t in the half mile radius around my house, but on the lazy-to-cost spectrum, I’m definitely willing to be less lazy in order to get free coffee. On Tuesdays*, that’s Wawa. Side note: my preferred purchase at Wawa is a soft pretzel and a raspberry coke…
I wrote a rantlet about McDonald’s coffee pricing on Facebook the other day, before starting this blog series. I am rewriting the rantlet here. As a connoisseur of cheap coffee, I have a fair amount of experience with McDonald’s coffee. In particular, McDonald’s iced coffee has been a better deal than 7-eleven’s, or it was…
