Coffee Day!

That's right!  Lent is officially over.  Unbeknownst to my dear husband, I am apparently like a small child, as at about 7:00 this morning I was wide awake, trying to get him out of bed for "Coffee Day."  He has since teased me about coffee being like my Christmas, to the point that he had to tell the staff at Starbucks that I gave up coffee for Lent. Which prompted the barista to say "Welcome Back," and additionally as we were leaving (after my lovely carmel machiato and a cinnamon roll) to comment to her coworker in an awed voice "that woman gave up coffee for lent!" 

So, I am very glad to welcome coffee back into my life, and the 'Pick of the Week' from Starbucks as well.  This week it was The Boxer Rebellion - Flashing Red Light Means Go, which is pretty good (unlike others which I have felt the urge to delete after only hearing once), and Diana Krall - Boy From Ipanema - which is just like Girl From Ipanema, with slight word modifications, and as much as I love Diana Krall, this one may have to go.  Ipanema gets stuck in my head like nobody's business... "tall and tan and young and lovely..."  I suppose I'll keep it for a while and we'll see what comes of it. 

Anyhow.  Happy Easter to all, and I hope those of you that gave up something for Lent are taking time today to enjoy it's return.
