And I know it’s only been a week since my more permanent move to Astoria. I can hear you cynics now, out there saying, “how can she know?” But I do. There is nothing I have been more sure of in my life. I thought we were just close friends, or maybe just partaking in an infatuation of sorts. Never the less, ever since that fateful day in a coffee shop last Sunday, I haven’t been able to get him out of my head.
Can you believe it? Just like that and I knew! I knew I was going to be swept off my feet. I tried to resist, and was even a little terse with Mr. Mysterious. Still I thought of him day in and day out. So I am making a bold declaration of undying love over my blog.
Here is a letter I wrote to him during a subway ride when I knew I could no longer consider my heart unclaimed:
Dear Mr. New York Bagel,
You are too fabulous for words. I don’t understand how the bakers create something so much better than any other bagel in the world; some say it’s the water, some say it’s the boiling, some say in the ingredients… but it doesn’t matter to me. I tried to resist, even though I saw you on every corner of every street – literally. So to borrow a quote from an old chum of mine “you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you.”
Faithfully,
B
I'm going to look like a bagel by the time I leave here.

I think you send your poor old mother some every once on a while!!!!! :) Great update!!!!!Love you, mom
You are trying to kill your poor father... LOL... First, a 12 hour trip to NY, moving in 105 degree heat, 3rd floor apartment with no elevator, and now "in love" with Bill Bagel... Bring him on - I look forward to meeting Mr. Bagal but just an FYI - if I don't like him, I may literally bite his head off... :)
