Usually the title comes at the end of the post.
Not today.
Because I am spontaneous like that.
Its a quarter after six and although I almost always am up by now (thanks to the cutest two year old alarm clock that has ever existed), but I am not usually chilling at Panera Bread in Columbus at this early hour.
I love Panera…oh let me count the ways!
1. soft, well filtered light
2. classical music
3. fall colors
4. fireplaces
5. the smell of baking bread
6. Hazelnut coffee, freshley brewed
7. a booth all to myself
8. free wifi
…need I go on?!?
I volunteered to take Shane and Beth to the airport this morning in large part because I needed to make a Mac Store visit anyway…getting a few hours in between alone to think in this warmly decorated cafe is an added plus.
This week flew by… computers crashing, brother graduating, a new haircut, lots and lots of training… I sort of blinked and realized the visit with the fam had ended. Beck and Aaron came on Thursday afternoon, Shane and Beth followed on Friday and this morning they’re all gone again.
Forget the easy button; someone find me a pause button!
More posts coming every day this week…forgive my unintended absence! I am off to sip on more Hazelnut coffee and try to figure out why none of my emails went through this week…


We have had big storms the past 3 nights. Drinking my Swiss Mocha and getting ready for work. Thanks for the update. I felt like I was sitting with you for a few minutes! Be Blessed today.
I also LOVE Panera Bread… though I love going for tea. I could sit there all day and eat through each variety of bread and sip tea all day. (Probably not the healthyest thing to eat all day)
If you love the smell of baking bread, in St. Cloud we have a Pan-O-Gold bread bakery and the road infront of (and the neighborhood surrounding) it is know as the bread road because it smells like freash baking bread almost everyday.
Mmmmm…
Two things I love; early mornings in cafes and Hazelnut coffee! You are making me a little jealous at the moment – but glad that you were able to have a nice morning!
LOL. You can’t go wrong with Panera. This makes me want to go now.
