I was getting a cup of coffee at work and realized something crazy. It was first cup of coffee for the day. I forgot to get caffeine in my body at home while I got ready for work. Plus, while I was getting coffee at work, I had a normal conversation with another human being.

There IS reason to be alarmed. I drove 18 miles on my commute to work in traffic AND I had a 5 minute conversation with an employee AND I had been returning work calls in my office beforehand. ALL WITHOUT COFFEE!

Crazy.

After several sips of coffee (and by sips I mean cups) I realized something more important.

I need to blog more. I’ve not made it a priority. There have been things going on in my life that I don’t want to share. They are far too personal. My work life always remains a guarded part of my online life and stuff going on there has kept me quiet over the last several weeks.

So here it is…my promise to you. I will blog more regularly.

Thanks for your patience. xo

Now off the grab another cup of my thinking juice.

Today I had an early morning meeting away from my office. I needed coffee. I found a Starbucks in the building. Problem solved.

 Simple order: large mild blend coffee with room for cream.

Then I got pissed when they told me the price.

$2.97

Are you kidding? That’s ridiculous for a cup of coffee! Guess I’ll be reusing the cup for weeks to make up for the cost.

And then I find myself faced with this dilemma at lunch…

Yep, you guessed it. I am having a glass of ice water with all that liquidy goodness in the background.

But really, after spending that much on coffee, I felt obligated to save some money at lunch.
