Coffee Swap Contest Entry.
As part of the coffee swap, we've been asked to blog about our favorite places to get coffee. Living in a smallish town in South Jersey offers limited places to get a good cup of coffee. There are no real coffee shops, if you want to sit indoors and enjoy a cup, there's pretty much the local diner or Dunkin Donuts.
Most of my coffee consumption is on the fly, usually grabbing a cup from Wawa, a local 24 hour convience store, or the bagel store right down the street from my office.
But I do still enjoy a stationary cup of coffee. One of my favorite places to relax over a cup is my friend Joe's apartment. Whether we're sitting at the kitchen table, each drinking a cup, him out of his favorite Batman mug, and me out of my Billy Joel mug I leave there for just these occasions, or we're sitting on the couch for coffee and a movie, I enjoy not only the coffee, but also the company.
It's been quite a while now, but before Joe and I were just friends, back when we had first started dating, he used to swing by my house late at night, after both of us had finished hanging out with our friends, or doing whatever it is we had planned that evening, and we'd stand there in my driveway, drinking the coffee he brought with him, while just chatting about anything and everything. Those nights were some of the fondest memories I actually have of our relationship.
Besides drinking coffee with Joe, which really seemed to be all we actually did towards the end of our relationship, I also throughogly enjoy the weekends I spend at KnitXcore's apartment. Waking up Sunday morning to a steaming hot cup of coffee while him, his boyfriend Dave and I all lounge out in the living room half awake is relaxing and always entertaining.
But all in all, my favorite place to have a cup of coffee is at work. There's no better way in my opinion then to start the morning off with a cup of coffee while I catch up on knitting blogs. My favorite day to do so is Monday. Since I don't check bloglines over the weekends, I'm treated to an unusually high amount of entries to catch up, giving me more time than usual to relax before actually getting to work.
