hope your day has some tricks & some treats :)

um, yeah that's close.

starbucks downtown asks for people's name when ordering to make the process more personal. which i must admit is nice [and probably saves the baristas time calling out the long 5+ word coffee orders].

but i've noticed it puts some additional stress on the order-taker to spell the person's name right.

in fact, downtown is notorious for spelling people's name wrong. but usually for me, i just get an occasional two l's.

this week during a team meeting, i ordered a coffee and i got a double "s" too! love it.

the guy even showed it to me and asked if that was right. [seriously, what do you say? be polite and just say yes?]


i went with: "um, yeah that's close" with a smile :)

poor guy. he seemed disappointed. little did he know, it made my day [and my blog!]

[p.s. wow, third post this week about coffee. i wasn't kidding when i said on monday that it was going to be a very caffeinated week!]

simple joy {diners}

breakfast anytime.

endless coffee.

comfy booths.

went to the waffle shop with my friend jenn

to catch up after a few crazy weeks.

it was such a nice break from work.

fall break cannot come soon enough!

[3 1/2 weeks to go]

color crush: black & kelly green

this week is all about coffee. i have a lot of work to get done so that i can travel the next few weekends, so my starbucks cup will be a permanent fixture in my hand in this week!

i love the pop of green against the black...especially that pretty green francesca bag! i don't usually do the bright nail polish, but i thought this green would be fun to tie into the green stripe on the topshop sweater.
