More in Coffee News

Alright. So now that we all know about my not-so-secret addiction...

Every morning before work I stop to get a coffee at Tim Horton's because **gasp** they have better coffee than McDonalds...This means that I'm a Roll Up the Rim player! Woohoo!

So far I think I've purchased 16 coffees...and I've won twice!! (double exclamation marks for the double win). I won a coffee and a donut! Harmel and I are both hoping that I win the car so that we can sell it and pay for our wedding and start paying for a house...lol. I think I'll cross my fingers on that one.

Coffee Coffee Coffee

So I open the McDonalds restaurant 3 days a weeks. Tuesdays before I go to school, and then Fridays and most Saturdays. That means that I'm up around 4:00 a.m. Let's just say that I need my coffee. I usually have one coffee before work and then 2 more within the first 3 hours.

And I'm starting to get into the habit of drinking a cup or 2 before I go to school. At 7:30 I really wanted coffee so I went and woke my mom up to ask her if I could make some and she asked me if I was addicted to "The Stuff". I told her that I just really liked it...thinking about it now...addicted might be a better word.

Is that a bad thing?

The Lovely Bones


This is the latest book I'm reading. It's called 'The Lovely Bones' by Alice Sebold. It's seriously one of the best books I have ever read...and I've read a lot...

The novel begins in horror, the rape and murder of Susie Salmon, a 14-year-old girl, at the hands of a neighbor who is a serial killer, although no one in the neighbourhood knows it. Susie herself narrates the story, from her perch in a personalized version of heaven; it looks like the high school she used to dream of attending, and all the textbooks are fashion magazines. She has a friendly roommate, an "intake counselor" (a former social worker whose reward is to finally be appreciated for it), lots of dogs to play with and a gazebo from which she can watch her family, friends and murderer go on with their lives. Susie narrates life on earth as it continues without her, and through the novel you see her sister grow up, her parents grow apart, and her murderer live on...

This book was so amazing...I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read. It's not really all that suspenseful because you know immediatly who killed her, but I supposed it's more about the chase, and about finding him and about how deeply parents love their children.

I own it for anyone who would like to borrow it!

Update

Alright, so I kinda forgot to tell the blogging world more about my parking ticket!

The same day that I wrote that blog I received a letter in the mail which basically cancelled my ticket! I'm guessing that someone else must have fought the ticket and everyone who was ticketed that day got theirs cancelled. However, they gave a warning stating that it is the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to find another place to park if it is unsafe to park in that spot.

So ridiculous.

It was pretty awesome. We're not really sure, but we figure about 50 people showed up!




Here's Harmel getting ready for the big night! We baked 4 dozen cupcakes!





Everyone's shoes in the porch...I'm sure there were more, I just don't know where!








Everyone hanging out and watching while H and I opened all our amazing gifts!




Thanks everyone who had any part in the evening last night! Thanks for all the presents, time, and love that was put into last night! H and I are both very happy! Hope everyone had a good time!
