This morning my lovely MIL offered to watch Cali and Sawyer for a couple of hours. It's perfect timing because I need to get all of the Christmas decorations put back up into the attic. In their eagerness to assist me, they usually don't actually help.
I went to Starbucks again. I kinda see the appeal. I don't get out much so I should that into consideration. First, I saw someone from church, so I got that whole neighborhood coffee shop feel. Then, as I was waiting in the not-too-long line, the guys behind me were having a conversation about relationships. "What do want out of a relationship?" guy 1 says. I'm thinking, wow, this is so cliche coffee shop talk. He wasn't propositioning him. He was mentoring. After I ordered and was waiting, I got to see a much older guy with a much younger guy. Like grandpa was giving advice to his 20 year old grandson. The advice kinda consisted of be cautious of settling down too fast.
As I'm eavesdropping, I see a table to the far side of the shop with writers. Their laptops were set up, books spread out, earbuds in. There was a low light hanging over it. I thought that perhaps if I took my laptop and wrote at Starbucks, I'd magically use commas correctly. Or I could research comma usage in my giant Chicago Style Manual and at least look cool. Or maybe I'd look like a student from MHCC trying to pass writing 131. I don't know.
Or maybe I just need to get out more often.
So thanks to Jody for watching the kids and thanks to Matt for saying it was fine to spend a lot of money on a small, yet delicious, peppermint white chocolate mocha. And thanks to Terra for recommending it in the first place. I added a slice of iced lemon pound cake. I figure it was go big or go home. In two days I won't be having either treat. Oh, and thanks to Erin for food wisdom. I wouldn't have gone to Starbucks if it wasn't for the loss of my best beverage.
I'm living it up food wise these last couple days. I had a bunch of delicious bread yesterday and some Ben and Jerry's too. I'll have to have a glass of wine tonight or tomorrow night. Ok, enough rambling :)
