the best part of waking up...

...is NOT Folgers in your cup, it's Starbucks in your little French press! And how does one obtain Starbucks coffee in a Starbucks barren land? In fact, this land serves instant coffee in their cafes and where you get a cappuccino when you order a latte and you get a cappuccino when you order a cappuccino. Oh silly people. But who is complaining when you have your sweet friends send you a piece of home from home! Oh sweet, sweet Starbucks I am more committed to you than peanut butter is to jelly! Now that's some serious business! On to the thank yous.

*Drum roll*  

Zhenya: I would like to thank you for the robust aroma of the medium house blend in our home. It is being perfectly paired with a piece of toast with butter and honey. Vika: Your sweet card gave way to fond memories of our churchin' time. 

Thank you ladies! The best part of being away from home is receiving care packages from friends and family.
