Starbucks-Columbia, MO!

I've always had this dream (seriously) of running to Starbucks/ enjoying an early morning just sitting in Starbucks...sipping a coffee. When I used to travel I'd always find a quaint coffee shop and spent some super early mornings enjoying that city from a table within. My faves were a couple of cafes in NOLA one was, (of course) Cafe Du Monde. The other, less publicized, Cafe Beignet. In St. Louis, there was this super cute hole in the wall- The St. Louis Creperie. In other places I would frequent the local Starbucks (I have a small collection of city mugs...totally wish I'd collected from all my favorite cities).
So here I am this morning...you and daddy are sleeping on the floor of Baby Baylor's bedroom. I decided to enjoy a little "me time" and I ran to Starbucks ala Cole! Now I'm slouched in this super comfy leather chair sipping my tall blonde roast.
I've taken (several) photos of Cole at work, met several co-workers, discussed Cole as a child; and asked tons of questions regarding the behind the scenes going's on of the Starbucks empire....who knew they made a new "batch" of coffee EVERY 7 MINUTES?! No wonder it's always AWESOME?!
This is nice. This is what makes mommy happy. What could be better? Running, Starbucks, Cole, Writing/blogging...those are a few of my favorite things! (Oh wait, isn't that a song? No? Well it should be.)
I'm down to the last few drops of my tall blonde...relaxation is over...time to head back (loooooooong sighhhhhhhh).
Great "job" Cole! I soooo doubt I would enjoy visiting you at work this much if you peddled insurance or something like that :)
