coffee & tea exchange

i have officially found my favorite coffee place.  it's especially significant because they don't even have seating (except in nice weather, outside).  it's just that good.

i love the laid back atmosphere and the reasonable prices are definitely a plus as well.  also the fact that it's the closest one to me.  sometimes i just love walking by and being overwhelmed by the smell.  mmmm....

they make up concoctions every month and give them clever names.  This month a few are:  naughty leprechaun, pot o' gold, lucky charm.  in february they had many valentine's themed drinks including bad romance latte, kiss and make up, ugly break-up.  

i had pot o' gold yesterday.  i mean why not?  and in february i remember giving bad romance a try.  it's just fun.  

i went in on valentine's day and they had a note up:  "happy valentine's day and to those opposed happy monday!"  which made me laugh too.

i mentioned before their countdown to spring.  well, it continues.  i love that as well.  14 days till spring everyone.
this morning even felt a little springy.  as much as it can while i'm in my heavy winter jacket.  after a crazy morning of field trips i went outside to have my lunch by the water.  and i feel much better now.

you want coffee?  in addition to drinks, they have barrels and barrels of coffee.  
how about tea?  they have lots of tea too.  
they have something for everyone.
i think they even have snowconeish type drinks.

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
