I don't think that's ever happened before...

Some of you may have heard rumor that for Christmas I asked for a coffee grinder and received a Keurig one-cup coffee maker instead. My thought behind asking for the grinder was to start trying to cut down on the number of visits I pay to coffee shops each week to help out the bank account. I wasn't so sure it was going to work, and I really wasn't so sure about this whole new Keurig system--if it was going to work for me or not. I'm kind of a coffee snob--I just never got good at drinking drip coffee, I usually want steamed milk on top or various flavorings. Well apparently the new coffee maker is working. I haven't spent money at Starbucks in quite awhile (I have spent my Christmas gift cards, but that doesn't really impact the bank account so I don't think that counts!). I knew something had changed this morning. My wonderful boyfriend, who very very rarely frequents coffee shops just called. He's picking me up soon for church, but he said he was going to stop by Starbucks and did I want anything? For the first time in probably my entire life I actually said "thanks but I am just finishing the coffee I made this morning, so I think I'm good." Yeah, I dont think Sarah has ever uttered those words out loud before, or turned down free Starbucks. Apparently I wasn't kidding earlier this winter when I said I thought my new coffee maker was one of the greatest inventions ever!
