Today…Today did not start well for me.

I got up super early for a seminar, and before entering, paid $4 for a latte which I’m pretty sure was made completely wrong.  Mint and caramel are two very different flavors, you see, so when expecting caramel and getting a sip of something that tastes like toothpaste…not so much.   (And by “got up super early” I mean 6am, which for some, maybe not such a big deal.  But for me- HUGE deal.  Huge.)

Then after drinking all of my Colgate latte I filled my empty cup with some mediocre coffee.  (Again, up at 6am means continuous caffeine consumption is necessary.)  Except I didn’t quite put the lid back on right…

So yeah.  Lap-ful of scalding steaming hot coffee.  I may have screamed.  Totally casual, NBD.

The only upside was that I was wearing a black skirt.  But even that couldn’t mask the intense rouge color my face turned when everyone turned to look at what all the commotion was about and wonder why my hands were up my dress trying to blot and soak up said coffee without looking like a complete idiot.

But you know what?  It’s ok. 

Because today….Today is my Friday.  That’s right.  Five glorious days of whatever I want.  Reading, Lifetime, cooking, baking, drinking, sleeping, you name it.  The weekend is my oyster.

And that, my loves,  is worth a lap-ful of coffee.
