Baby, that's what you are




Heh. I'd taken some pictures of a few places that I hang out on a regular basis, like Lourenzo's school, and my B&N, but I guess I didn't upload them properly, since I can't seem to find them. I do, however, have pictures of the coolest coffee shop ever. Java Girl. Even though I get a discount at Starbucks, this place has a far cooler ambience, and I hang out here at least once a week. It's a block from L's school, so it's perfect for when I have some time to kill after dropping him off. And, if you come visit me (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge), we will go. No question about it.


The whole place is pretty much like this--exposed brick walls, tiny cafe tables, lots of pillows, warm colors... it's quite small--there are only about 6 tables, but it's so worth it. The corner opposite this one is the best--there's a great armchair, and you can just disappear into this corner with a book, and forget that everyone and everything else exists for a while. Apparently this place is Zagat rated as "Best Place for a Non-Corporate Cup of Coffee and a Chat." Easy to see why--the minute you walk in the door, you can understand the appeal.

It's just one of those places that's warm and friendly, and completely unexpected. It's my little Central Perk, for lack of a better analogy. Minus the big orange couch, five other coffee addicts there constantly with me, and an apartment in the building above it, that is.



Anyways, I'll try to post the other pictures later, but these will just have to do (and hopefully make you jealous enough to come visit me!) for now!

Hey, the interview went well, but I'm not going to take the job. I don't have a good feeling about it; and I prayed that if it's not right, then don't even offer it to me, so answer to prayer! Anyway; I don't have internet at home; and it's taking forever to get it fixed because of the labour dispute! So, I'm at the school using their wireless, but I won't be able to talk tonight...sorry!
