A Solution

And just real quick - a quip and a suggestion. I've now switched to starbucks. I like their lattes better. But here is my problem with Starbucks. The line - no matter what time of morning I go - is always miles long! It's really frustrating. And you know why that line is so long? You pull up to order and the people in the window have a 5 minute conversation with you on how your day is going - how do I know how it's going? I just woke up and now I need some coffee so I can function at work. Don't talk to me. Then after you order they suggest about 5 other items on their menu that you could possibly buy to add to your coffee. So here's my suggestion. STOP TALKING. Take my order, my money, give me my coffee and let me start my day on time. Although it's a nice gesture - I think they could make their lines way shorter and increase their effectiveness and customer satisfaction.

An Update. Topic: My Life

I'd like to give a shout out to Amanda for reminding me I need to update this. My life has been crazy. Not a very good few weeks. Here's an update - bullet point style:

• Erik (my boyfriend) and I broke up. Over chinese food. My life is a Seinfeld episode. Need I say more other than I am very sad but I know that God will lead both of us to what is best? At least that is my hope. In the meantime, if you're looking for a girl to hang out with, go to dinner with, go a movie with, babysit your kids etc. I am now available.
• I'm STILL writing my thesis. Make that RE-writing my thesis. It's crap but my interviews are done so now I can really dig in. Nevermind the professor who told me I didn't have any writing skills (note the re-write part)
• I just work and sleep. But on Thursday's I'm taking a calligraphy class. If you need someone to address your wedding invites or christmas cards - I'm where it's at. I've got time and now - I have the skillz.

That's it for now. Although now that I am "single" again - maybe I'll have some enchanting love stories. Or horrible first date stories. Although I doubt it but you never know. This thing is titled from crappiness to happiness. I'm back into the crappiness hoping and praying that someday... I'll find happiness. :)
