Coffee Shop Breakup

Yesterday was an interesting day. Mostly good though it ended with injury. First, G and I went to see Dune 2 on the Imax screen. Worth it. However, after a bathroom trip, I took another trip right over my purse falling on my face. SIGH. Nothing injured that time but my pride.

Then, as I was prepping dinner and slicing cucumbers on a mandolin, I missed and cut my finger. Middle finger on my left hand. Ugh, thankfully, not hospital serious but not pretty either. And have I ever mentioned I’m left-handed? Please forgive any typos as I’m trying to type with minimal use of that finger (It apparently does have uses other than giving bad drivers the bird, I don’t do that. Really, I don’t. Just fun to type it out.)

Back when I blogged as So Not Organized, I used to sometimes do Tiny Tip on a Thursday. Here’s a not so tiny tip for today: ALWAYS use the guard when slicing vegetables on a mandolin.

Did any of the above have anything to do with my blog post title? No.

True Topic: I’ve broken up with Starbucks

We just grew apart. First the grocery store put up new entrance “gates” making it just a tiny bit harder for me to get my coffee treat after shopping. It required true intention and I discovered I often just didn’t want the coffee that badly.

Next, a new (to me) drive through coffee place (Dutch Bros) opened very close to my work where I am quite often. After a fumbled start, didn’t care for my first drink, I gave them another chance with a new flavor. Plus, a gift card helped our relationship flourish. However, I think they made me fall in love with them yesterday when I ordered a hot drink.

Up until yesterday, I typically ordered iced coffee drinks or maybe was in too much of a hurry to notice? If so, apologies to my new favorite coffee shop.

Starbucks, you should listen to a certain Bruno Mars song because you should have brought me lids with beautiful words.

What’s your favorite coffee place?

(For the record, I also love some local places but Dutch Bros is my new favorite on the go spot)

  1. What a coffee lid statement, love it. Poor you with the accidents, I went through a phase of falling over a few years ago. The last fall was flat on my face, my knee hurt up to a year later but the worst was the 2 broken teeth. One was a root filled crown! If I was 20 or 30 years younger I’d be devastated but I’m fine about it now. The dentist basically sanded the bottom off smooth. They aren’t level as they would’ve looked so small. In the mean time, I’m trying to improve my balance (Phsyio advice ref a clicky back issue), so standing on one leg ha ha, bending, stretching etc. It should help me to not fall over when off balance.
    All the best and take care Cx

    1. Yikes, sorry about all the falling. Hoping my accidents were just a fluke though I should probably work on my balance a bit (and pay attention to where I’m walking!).
