free coffee!

this morning i passed on my usual morning starbucks because the line-up at royal centre was quite possibly the longest line i'd very seen there. mental note: 8 a.m. is a bad time to go at. so i opted for the coffee shop in my office building. i ordered a medium mocha w/whipped cream and a very yummy rice krispy square (since i can't make them properly myself!). as i was yawning while waiting for my coffee to be made, the barrista asked if i would like an extra shot in my coffee. i actually thought she was making a cute remark about my sleepiness, but she actually had a shot that she was going to toss out anyways. so i said "YES, please!" now, i don't know how coffee's work in non-starbucks establishments, but i saw her pour two shots, and then she grabbed another two shots and dumped them in my medium cup. hmmm, a grande latte at starbucks only requires 2 shots. so off i went w/my 4 shot medium mocha and rice krispy square. i have to admit that the coffee's a bit strong for my liking, but since i've been up since the crack of dawn, i am definitely appreciate for the extra boost in my step today!

monday's off to a good start :-)
