Three weeks into the New Year and we still haven't finished sharing our goals with each other. We've started but haven't finished. It's officially made it on the goals list: Finish sharing goals with each other before 2013.

Besides having had the opportunity to collaborate on this project, a goal that we had been able to share, we are one step closer to accomplishing a LIFE long goal of ours...being called by name at our local Coffee Bean.


You know the dream...you walk into the coffee shop, the little bell on the door rings, there's a few people in line, some people sitting around reading the newspaper, the workers look up from hearing the bell, and suddenly their faces brighten up and say, Hi Joe! Hi Kathrina! The usual today? We'll get that started for you...

Admit it, you get super jealous of those people called by name. Just us? Well, after many Sunday mornings of lurking around, smiling extra big to each happy coffee barista and looking at their name tag taking note, then making sure to tell them ours extra loud for all of them to hear and spelling it out J-O-E...one of them, Kathy, finally said to us, See you soon. See. You. Soon. I mean, that only means that they know we go there often right? Because they wouldn't say that to just anyone right?

Afterward we gave each other a high five.



We even bought a tumbler to get on their good side...plus you get twenty cents off your coffee when you bring it in! (You're welcome.)



So if you see us lurking at a Coffee Bean, make sure to say Hi Joe! Hi Kathrina! Extra loud so the happy baristas can hear it too.

Happy Tuesday!
