I am back at Caribou Coffee. I will probably be here every Monday and Wednesday morning until I change jobs. Because I close Monday and Wednesday nights. And the metro parking lot fills up if I get there after 8:45. But I could get very used to this little routine. And to Caribou’s fantastic Carmel…

P: So recently, in class, I have been thinking about what we would do if we won the lottery.E: Oh yeah? What would we do?P: That’s the thing, it depends on how much money we win. Because sometimes you get screwed and you only get a million.E: Okay. So let’s say $3 million. Because that…

And it is Paul. He knows food. And spices. And proportions. And how to tear lettuce so it doesn’t get all crumpled. And how to make sour cream taste like ranch dressing. The man has got talent. But Tuesdays are my day off. Which means I take over the cooking responsibility. Which means every Tuesday…

These people have free wi-fi. I am a customer for life. Back from Minnesota. Waiting for work to start at 1:30. Thinking it would be very nice if my job was laying around the house in pajamas. Also thinking "OMG! FREE INTERNET!" It was very nice to see the fam and catch up a little…

We are going to Minnesota for Grandpa’s 80th Birthday Bash. It will be the first time I have seen the fam since August 6. And the first time Paul will meet the Minnesota Blaha’s. Super Cool. And when I get home, the second I step through the door, I am going to make my own…

This morning, I woke up, got dressed, had breakfast and walked out to my car. And before you ask, yes. It was there. RIGHT WHERE I HAD LEFT IT. I drove to the metro station, got on the metro, got off the metro, waited for the bus, got on the bus, got off the bus…

A while ago, Kal posted about a painting she had made. And when I saw it, I loved it. It was so good that I called Paul over to see it. Because I agree with her: that often it is all about leaving your troubles and your drama at the door. And I love her…

As we pulled out of the parking structure today and drove down to the road, I noticed my little silver bug was missing. MISSING. As in NOT IN THE LOCATION I PARKED IT IN YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY, AFTER MY 11.5 HOUR WORK DAY. I was tired when I got home, but not crazy. I knew where…

I bought this little dude and decided to make Halloween cards. I heard a lot about sales goals and mission statements and very good things. It is so cool to part of a growing company. I am so lucky to have found passion in my work.

Since the middle of September, I have been talking about going to the Pumpkin Patch. A good one. Not the one behind Toys R Us. Very cool.
