A Good Start

Have you ever had one of those days where you wake up and everything just seems out of sync?  Monday was one of those days for me.  It was obvious that my co-workers were feeling that way too because 4 of  them and I each decided before we arrived at the office that what was needed were several kinds of baked goods to put the day on track.  Two of us even stopped at the same place near our office. (Panera Bakery).
For me, nothing helps to put a day in the right direction better than a cheese danish.
Or a Dunkin-donut....
And of course for me, nothing ends a cold day better than getting off work early and getting home!  
And seeing that first sign of spring in your yard. 
I hope your week is off to a good start too!

  10. Cheeeeeese. Well that will start any day off right. And MOM smiled at the signs of Spring. I think we have to wait until April before that happens. But it is coming.

  15. That's my day today, only I don't have a car to run and get danish - you big tease, you! Did it help?

  16. A great start to any day, and super finish, to take goodies home, spring greenery showing already, brave plants, Here we have leaves falling more every day, starting to change colour if still on a tree. The drought has meant many more leaves fell so much earlier. Cheers from Jean.

  17. Dear Kim, my day absolutely & totally feels out-of-sync today... and I have NO DONUTS!!! Accckkkkk!! Woe is me!!!

    *haha*

    I think I will have to simply put extra sugar in my coffee & be happy with that... but oh, a cheese Danish. That would fix me right up, indeed!! :-)

    Blessings--Andrea

  19. Looks like Spring is on it's way!

    We usually have a big walk and read blogs (HER with a cappuccino) so we start off our day well....of course it also helps that SHE doesn't work!)

    XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

    Love Todd's scarf.

  21. Hi, I have been feeling like I have no energy-maybe I need a gluten free chocolate donut. We have snow in the forecast for the next few days; I am so ready for spring.
    Hugs, Noreen

  23. I'm trying SO hard right now not to eat my feelings, and I am afraid that I'm losing the battle. Pass the cheese danish, please!

  24. Oh my gosh.. so many are seeing spring already. And today I startled a couple of birds checking our our spouting... probably making plans for nesting (they usually do there).
    Love Panara Bakery!!

  25. Hope the entire week is as good as the start!

  26. Its good that when one person has a need for bakery, the other four do too! Is it Misery loves Company, something like that?

    Add me to those who admire Todd's tartan scarf! Cute as can be!

    We are back to doing the sub-zero weather which is not for me at all!

    We send hugs all around.

  27. Howdy All, yep, cakes always make our mum feel good. It's the walking afterwards that she doesn't like hehehe but we make her do it! No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  28. I had lunch at Panera today and it is always difficult to just pick out one thing for dessert. Spring is so far off for us so thanks for sharing a bit of green.

  38. Our spring is so fleeting that sometimes it is almost sad to see the first green of the year. It means we are heading into almost 5 months of too hot temps!
