I just donβt get it. Every morning I wake up to facebook status updates about trips to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. My friends are all proud of their addiction to coffee. When I first moved to Denmark, I was told that if I ever truly wanted to integrate into the culture I had to learn to love coffee. The day I left they told me I was practically a Dane, except thar I never got the coffee thing. I love how it smells, but I canβt stand the taste. And in the morning? Iβd puke if that is what it took to wake me up. Instead, I have a bit of a routine. This routine is a surefire way to wake me up and it goes something like thisβ¦.
(literally) Roll out of bed.
Stumble across room.
Put on bathrobe.
Sit on couch.
Open up my bible and read a chapter.
Go to my computer and check my email.
β¦then facebook.
β¦and then justinmarantz.com.
Yeah, I check Justin and Maryβs blog every morning. And 90% of the time there is an update because Mary seems to enjoy getting up at the crack of dawn. And on occasion I check Jasmine Starβs blog right after. A little witty banter, a few pictures to make me go “Gah!!”, and a teal-ish color that I love.
That, my friends, is my cup of coffee. Take it or leave it.
I love your routine and need to develop something similar with that whole B-I-B-L-E thing. π Also, I used to work as a barista in high school at a quaint coffee shop north of Seattle. And you know what? I rarely had coffee. I prefer it like a dessert. Loaded with sugar. Thanks for the post, it was cute.
I don’t get the whole coffee thing either!
It smells way better than it tastes…I agree!!!

This blog is part of my morning ritual… or every other morning. π
LOVE YA BIG!!!
Ahhhh, I LOVE you!! This post was just the happy sauce that I needed!! Now if we can just get you hooked on the Starbucks, we can be BFF….forever! π
