Coffee!

Its absolutely amazing what a cup of coffee can do to a person. After many years of denying the fact that i have an issue with drinking coffee, i am not okay with saying that i am an addict. There are not too many days (almost never) where i can go throughout the day without having a cup. There is just something about it that just always makes me want it. hahahaaa

But honestly, we all know that Einstein's coffee (Starbucks) really is not that good. It usually tastes burnt and never really satisfies that craving. However, now that Dunkin' is soooooo close by, I find myself fulfilling my cravings over there.

For the past couple months, i have been saving EVERY penny i get as change to eventually bring it to a change machine and get cash for it. But recently, i have found better uses for that change... DUNKIN"!!!! I believe it is rather sad that after three weeks of it being open, there were two of the regular employees that knew my order even before i spoke. I am slightly embarrassed by that, but it is awesome, and also speeds things up. But now, i realize i have spent almost all my change on coffee at dunkin... so i think its time to SLOW DOWN.

(To all of you that actually read this, if you would like to make me happy during the day... just surprise me with a Large Hazelnut with Cream and Sugar)

Despite all of this talk about loving coffee, i was convicted about something this morning. In my debate and argumentation class, there was a debate today about the United States need to substantially reform the welfare plan. As these two groups were debating, i realized that there is one small thing us Americans can do to help. Yes, we all know we are in a recession and things are tight. However if things are tight for us, how do you think things are for the people on welfare, or that are homeless???

So my conviction made me think that i can do better things with all my change than fulfill my coffee addiction. Maybe it's time to cash that change in, buy some caned food, and bring it to people that want to fulfill their hunger.. I am feeling better about this the more i write about it. And i really want to do this, but it is really gonna suck giving up that coffee...

Challenge: If my coffee addiction can be filled in by you with something you are "addicted" to.. let it be music, shoes, clothes or what ever, give this a thought. $10 of change can buy 8 cans of Campbell's soup.. Just think about it.

Just figured out the password to this!

Well, it has been quite some time since you've heard from me. I forgot the password and which e-mail account i used to sign into this. But with some thought, i figured it out.

Meaghan (my sister) has been bothering me to start blogging again. Life has been CRAZY over the past few months. I can not believe there are less than 2 weeks of classes left and then I am a SENIOR IN COLLEGE! (but i am really not too excited about this) If it wasn't for my parents threats to not pay for more that 4 years of college, i would be finding ways to stay another year or to. Maybe pick up a second or third major.

So lets skip over the past few months and skip right to today. Today was awesome because of many things. But mainly because a very good friend of mine who happens to be the best wedding photographer i have ever seen (somewhat bias because i do not really know any) posted a MAN MONDAY on her blog today. A few friends, along with myself, check her blog daily and as she put it, we were jealous of not having any "man" photos on the blog. So after weeks of begging and pleading, she finally gave in. This was the highlight of my day, not just because i was on it, but because it was an awesome post. Check it out www.theinspireddesignblog.com

Thats really all i got for today, maybe i can get my creative thoughts flowing and leave you with some good stuff at some point in the near future.

Here's a challenge for you for the week: Step out of your comfort zone and serve someone this week. Whether it be something big or small, do something to help someone out. The little things sometimes mean the most
