it was a Pike Place kind of morning

There is nothing, I tell you, NOTHING better than getting through a workout with the promise of a rich, hot cup of coffee waiting for me at home.

Shalaina went all out and sent me a pound of Starbucks' Pike Place coffee (my all-time favourite), three Big Cookies, loose leaf peppermint tea, chocolate bars, and the nicest card. I was beside myself with glee last night when I got home.

Though Mr. Kim (remember him? The old man "security guard" at the main floor of our building? I'll have to get a picture of him before too long) made me practically beg to be handed the package, I did eventually get it home. My after school class was canceled (good thing too, because I was in quite a mood yesterday), so I got to come home at 4:30 and was greeted with so many beautiful things.

Here's my morning coffee a-brewin'...

And this is the beautiful card she sent as well. What a sweetheart!

In addition to all of this, on Saturday night we were at Katie's house for a little socializing. Her parents had sent Salt Water Taffy as a sort of Easter gift, and she had it all out on the table for us to try. What a hostess. I guess I smuggled a piece out into my bag (what a louse), because I found it this morning. Delicious Second Breakfast of the week: banana Salt Water Taffy. It's going to be a good week...I can feel it.
