Krispy Kreme was also good after a night out.  They would turn on that neon sign and people would come for  miles around.

I mean...I get it...but I don't get it! As they should know by now that I DO NOT live in London! It's not worth correcting though at this point. In fairness, when I talk to people over here, it's easier to just say "I'm from Boston" vs "I'm from fill-in-the-blank suburb 15 minutes drive outside the city" as I'm lucky if people know the location of Boston let alone the name of all the random suburbs!

i have family in Needham :)

What are your blogs?

The blog I was writing was actually for someone else. They wanted a blog about different cities and I said I could do my hometown. I was excited at first but just made me sad, especially when I had to write about the food!!

I brought in donuts a few times on a Friday morning to work. Took me a while to realize no one was eating them before lunch while I happily had mine with my coffee!

Can definitely appreciate how that could make you a bit blue :( ESPECIALLY when it comes to food! haha I just get hungry and sad because I want to eat all the things! (even just thinking about food my mom would make that I can try making but never tastes as good!)

Luckily my team (about 7 people) do not shy away from junk in the morning! Past teams I've been in, however, literally cannot wrap their mind around it (and they don't understand iced coffee!).
