coffeecoffeecoffee

The wife and I both enjoy coffee, and a while ago we decided we would start buying beans and grinding it ourselves. When we were on our cruise, we picked up our first bag of beans in Guatemala, so we officially needed to get a grinder. I've been researching grinders, and procrastinating, but I ran out of coffee grounds this weekend, so now I REALLY need to get one! I've ordered a Cuisinart DBM-8C burr grinder, and it's on its way from Vancouver. That model came highly recommended from some coffee geeks at work, and Vancouver was the only place I could find it still for sale.

Unfortunately, Canada Post will only get it here by Wednesday. I'm not sure what I'm going to be drinking this weekend. :(

Been a while

For a little while at work, we were blocking blogs. I'm not too sure WHY, but we were. People then started complaining, and we opened them up again. However, I decided to not post from work for a bit, because they were obviously watching the traffic and decided it was a problem. Personally, I think if people take 5 minutes at lunch to update a blog, that's not costing the company much. My other alternative would be to start taking smoke breaks, and blog instead of smoking. :P

The past few weeks seemed like they were really busy, but I don't have anything huge to report yet. I'm just looking forward to having all the snow gone, and the arrival of spring. This weekend is the first weekend where the temperature has been above zero the whole time, so dinners are going to be 100% barbecue.

I'll try to post more, and I'll make my life more interesting soon. Promise!
