One Thing . . .

One thing I cannot tolerate is a rotten cuppa! The coffee at this hotel is "Artisan Blend". It is swill. It is shit. Maxwell House is Starbucks in comparison. I can now say, I would be grateful for the cheaper brand of coffee compared to this pseudo coffee. Bleck!

I went to Starbucks to remedy the situation, but it's expensive. And it's expensive to do every day. I'm not visiting Starbucks every day (even though there is one in the Safeway across the street - and an actual store just a few doors down from there) and a store in the mall across the street in another direction. I just drink it slower and truly enjoy it when I get one from the store, you know?

Now I'm forced to drink up all my tea. It's not half bad! I do like tea, though. I just had a cuppa Constant Comment. But all this had me thinking about giving up coffee for good. At some point. I don't know if I could ever do it. Could I? Ah, no.

I'm enjoying my afternoon reading The Friday Night Knitting Club. I read over at Praying For Grace a nice review for the film UP. I may chat my hubster about taking the kids tonight. We have only a few things we can do and this hotel is getting smaller by the moment. A nice family evening plan. He's currently at a pinning ceremony on Post. It was fun to see him all suited up in his uniform after two weeks of not.

The weekend is brunching, munching, visiting, and Mass-ing and a bunch of good-bye-ing. Monday a whirlwind to finish up getting the dog's paperwork in order . . . a few days to piddle away our worries until we fly off into the sun. I think I won't believe it until I get lei'd. :)

Aloha . . .

I am picky too. Spoiled and picky and soft. I like good coffee. Sometimes sweet. Sometimes bitter. Sometimes hot. Sometimes cold.

happy slurping and knitting!

Sarah-do let me know what you think of the book. I read it last year and loved it. There is a sequel, but I haven't read it yet. Have a good weekend!!!

Oh...I am so there with you in being a *coffee snob*! Canned coffee...no way! Lukewarm...no way! More than 1/2 hour old...no way! I like it hot, strong, and fresh. So, I mooocho sympathize with you. I will enjoy my morning coffee tomorrow in honor of you : )

Awwww, commiserations on the coffee, mate! Don't give it up though...just truly enjoy it when it's yours again. ;-)
The book sounds good! I'll look it up for reading during the move.
I think of you always as we pack and move too...praying we both find a good church, good friends, and a happy life in our new tropical homes.

You mean "lei'd" right? Perhaps the hotel room has gotten too crowded that you're thinking "laid"..ha, ha, <:D

Anon - thanks for the correction; totally missed that spelling error. I'm really glad I revisit comments!
