January
my boss gave away his extra coffee sacks before winter break. apparently Pandora finds burlap comfortable
my boss was thinking about switching bean companies. eventually we came full circle back to the company we'd had in Fall. so he, Deante, and i took a trip to
Barefoot Bar in Santa Clara to cup new drips. the new hire, Valerie, was unable to come.
so we cupped and cupped
they have the sexiest coffee bags
condom artwork on the wall
solid wood tamp oh god
chalk? in MY restroom? it's more likely than you think
i really loved the restroom
February
once again my cat spearheads the start of the month with her silly antics. here she is sleeping in my closet
my photo instructor decides to put my
offal photo next to the entrance to the room. something of an honour.
dogsitting at Ann's...always fun. Chaucer is a lovebug
i got really sick for a few weeks and lived next to the humidifier.
i might have had it cranked up too high
i purchased up a cute
coin purse to hold my parking meter money. Brandon named him Horace
i was amused when Brandon and i went out for coffee at his favourite community cafe. i asked for a soy cafe au lait but apparently the kid baristas didn't know what i was talking about. i got a soy latte instead
watched some YouTube tutorials and finally taught myself to French braid my hair. pictured is my second attempt evar
Valerie and i REPRESENT @ work. she's my new bff
CRUSH THE ADVERSARY! modified my commuter cup with a razorblade
my growing collection of pins i wear on my apron. a customer/faculty member gifted me the Bowie one <3
on the last day of the month, Brandon fulfilled my desire to make floats with vanilla soy ice cream and artisan root beers
March
still obsessed with coffee. i will venture out into the storm for a Four Barrel heirloom Ethiopian pour-over.
been practicing my latte art
i love Deante (and everyone i work with)
i snagged the snazziest pair of pj pants at Salvation Army. i think they display my values pretty perfectly
Brandon and i rescued a loose but loved dog as we were leaving Haight-Ashbury. got to check out the newly remodeled SF SPCA. those mutts have groovy digs
i liked this pic because i look
borg-ish.
April
i played an April Fool's joke on my boss...filled one of the daily-delivered pastry boxes with broccoli
later Deante cooked us up some delicious broccoli in a milk pitcher with the steam wand
he also brought me a vegan zucchini muffin from Whole Foods for me when i told him i'd never had zucchini bread! how sweet
my coworkers and i cause all kinds of trouble
El Capitan Puck Bakery open for business
i scraped my knuckle in a pattern that reminded me of Hawaii
an ironic moment in my driveway
my photo instructor loves me and gave me an enlarger
i got attacked by a Sephora employee one night, yuck. i was unimpressed
especially since i've stopped wearing foundation. see also my new favourite shirt
which is apparently Pandora's new favourite shirt as well
Brandon helped me pull my carpet up! i also got a new bedspread
once again Pandora approves of my taste
of course, she can sleep anywhere, anytime
see? told you
she's such a cutie
had a happy Easter with church, malted milk eggs, and Brandon :)
i've been working on a secret project. it's a secret
my mom got me a present today
and i think i shall end on this note.
