Yesterday I made an early morning run to Wal-Mart to buy a replacement coffee maker before work. Although I love my French press, I decided it was time to go back to a programmable coffee maker that can wake me up with fresh brewed coffee before I ever get in to the kitchen. Having secured my purchase in the back seat, I decided to go through the drive thru at Dunkin Donuts for an early morning coffee treat on my way to work. The cheery person at the window handed over my coffee and as she was wishing me a great day, she happened to look into the backseat where the coffee maker was stored. She glanced from the coffee maker and back to me. Our eyes met and I felt like I was caught doing something really wrong! Like somehow I had betrayed this wonderful woman who just made a great cup of coffee for me! I wanted to explain to her that in my defense, I bought the Dunkin Donuts brand coffee to make in my coffee maker but I realized there was no talking my way out of this one. Better to just admit I was a Dunkin Donuts cheater and drive away! :)
Keep on smiling!
