It started in kindergarten with pens and ink pots and blotting paper. Since then I've loved writing. Transferring the noise in my head to paper calms the chaos. If a worthwhile thought occasionally emerges, I'll keep it here with memories, stories and other random trivia, of interest mainly to myself and, with a bit of luck, to the odd passerby.

It's Comfy in our Little Rut
Adding 'coffee beans' to the list on my fridge this morning I paused, pen in mid air, and decided to live dangerously. Also known [accusingly, by the Old Curmudgeon] as Trying to Change my Lifestyle, Living Dangerously means buying toothpaste other than Colgate, mouthwash other than Listerine, beans instead of ground, so, with a flourish of my favourite weapon, I added '....or ground'. And then I thought I might really go for the gusto and buy something other than Starbucks.........maybe Seattle's Finest .......just hope there won't be an earthquake. I'd feel responsible.

I'm smiling about your grocery list and **CHANGE**
Just very recently my older son left home [again], so we're [re]adjusting to an empty nest. One of the changes I'm currently making is shopping for quality at the market rather than all those years of quantity. I am treating myself to good coffee now instead of using a coupon and getting whatever is the cheapest. My husband doesn't quite have the hang of this yet.

It is sometimes fun to pop out of the rut!
I have almost given up coffee, so dont mind how it comes.
But when I caught myself feeling annoyed if I couldnt use "my" cup- well, I just used another, every time!
Good for you for shaking it up a bit! If you really want to try some great coffee, order some Intelligentsia http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/ They offer 1/2 lb bags so you can try a few different blends to find what suits your taste best. Their House Blend is very good.
No, I don't work for them. ;)
