Five Things that Don't Suck, Silver Lining Edition
1. it's warm inside
2. we don't live on the Cape, where there was apparently snow again this morning
3. warm, comfy sweaters
4. Tazo Berryblossom White tea*
5. only going outside by choice**
*I said yesterday that it's like drinking a cup of warm Boo Berry cereal, but in a good way. And I stand by that assessment.
**unless you count taking the dogs out, and since we chose to have the dogs we have, I suppose taking them out is part of that larger choice and anyway it helps ensure I get a little sunlight and move around a bit and jeez maybe I should have thought a little more carefully about #5 this morning

Five Things that Don't Suck, Coffee Edition
1. espresso*
2. americano
3. caffe latte**
4. cappuccino***
5. macchiato****
*not "expresso," people. That kind of sucks a little, sorry.
**personal favorite
***very close second
****I'm going to get super-snobby here and say that I mean a real macchiato, espresso barely "stained" with milk, not whatever that thing is that Dunkin' Donuts puts out into the world. Although that might not suck--but it's also not a macchiato.
