be a usual at a coffee shop

I`ve attempted this. But I never know well enough what to order, and upon that confusion, i just want to get out of that embarressment a.s.a.p. I wish though. I have a friend who works at a coffee shop by our ferry, and he keeps a sketch book around the shop, so people can write a letter, or draw something for the shop. It`s a very friendly atmosphere. I just wish it wasn`t so far away. And that I knew what to order…

that I plan to start going to coffee shops more often.

“Why?” she said.

“Because,” I replied. “I want to get out and do something fun for myself. I want to check out some books from the library, take them with me to the coffee shop and read them over a mocha latte every day.”

“You can’t fool me,” she said. “You just want to meet someone.”

...

I can’t wait until I’m a mommy and I can know my kids better than they know themselves. Meh.

doing this. I live in a small town with only one coffee shop, called “Uptown”. The first and last time I went in there and ordered a cappucino, the girl behind the counter took one look at me and said with a smirk, “You know this is strong; it’s not like the cappucino at gas stations.”

Now I know I wasn’t dressed too great that day and my hair wasn’t fixed, but that was still a very snotty thing to say. She shouldn’t have implied that I’ve never had a strong coffee in my life and look down on me like that. I took my capuccino and haven’t been there since. My conclusion: the uptown folks are jerks.

But she was just some jerk teenager with a rich daddy or something. Maybe she’s gone by now. Heh, maybe I should try for a job there. I shouldn’t base my opinion of the entire place just on this one dumb girl. I could be enjoying a mocha latte every morning. I’m going to go back and start spending time there. Then I’ll see for sure what kind of people hang out at Uptown

after the fact postings are probably pretty uncool, but the fact of the matter is that I was pretty proud about this one.

My order?
Tall coffee w/ room and a maple bar.
