Saving the World One Cup At a Time

A soy latte didn't sound appealing when she stood in front of the counter and paid $3.50 for it.  If I was going to pay over 3 bucks for a cup of coffee, I was going to have them fit everything they could into that cup: chocolate, syrup, whip cream, sprinkles - you name it; the more the merrier, but she was paying and urged me to give it a whirl as it had become her favorite beverage after impressing her on consecutive occasions.  And now it is my drink of choice, especially after bottomless cup after bottomless cup has led the two of us into some of our most profound and therapeutic conversations and excursions. It never fails that we began addressing the world's problems along with our own and though there isn't always a solution, just the act of considering a few is a relief. 

This past Friday Steph and I, with baby on board and coffee cup in hand, headed out into the gorgeous weather to stroll through Soulard's Market downtown.  This is totally my kind of morning.  A day off from work and working-out, sunshine and food, and a baby?!?!  Seriously.  And it was just a preface for an entirely pleasant weekend.  Spring is officially and demonstratively here, with all the flowers and vegetables and sun and rain and things to do. Things to do- so many it can be overwhelming.  But things have a way of turning out ok, right?  Drink coffee and believe harder.
