Coffee

Alex and I are now waking at 5am each morning, we have to make ourselves go to bed early to ensure we get enough sleep. We are barely getting enough sleep and both would agree we could go for a bit more. As a result, we haven't been doing so well keeping up with daily task (like vacuuming and blogging).

This story happened about a week or so ago, but I'm just now getting around to blogging about it.

Alex really loves her coffee. On our way out of Chapel Hill, we stopped at Weaver Street Market to pick up 3 lbs of Alex's favorite coffee (Panzanella's house blend) for Antarctica. At 5:30am (~1 week ago) Alex used the very last of her favorite coffee (which was super sad). We had heard rumors that a plane was flying into town from Christchurch and that maybe, just maybe it would have packages aboard. The plan arrived and on it was a package for Alex from Andrea. And inside the package was fresh coffee from North Carolina! It was absolutely perfect timing...Alex didn't have to suffer a single day of drinking cheap, stale dining hall coffee.

Good work Andrea!

well, Alex actually gave me a list of demands, so... I can't really take any credit here. Did she like the cheese puffs though?
