monday morning

Happy Monday!!  It's pretty chilly in Seattle this morning, but the sun is beating down against my window at work, so it's making me feel cheery and excited for some spring-y goodness regardless of the cold.

I ordered my first-ever cappuccino today at Tully's, and was surprised to feel how light the cup was after the guy handed it to me.  My first thought was maybe he made a mistake and was handing me an empty cup...?  So now I'm just staring out at the sunshine reflecting off the buildings, enjoying my cup 'o foam.


In other news, I'm super excited to be featured on Just Stay Lovely this morning as part of Candice's "Girl Behind the Blog" series while she's in New England visiting her honey boo boo.  Candice started blogging in February of this year, and her blog has totally taken off in such a short amount of time.  I'm happy I found her when she was just starting out!  I encourage you to check her out!

Hope your Monday morning is off to a great start!

  1. For future reference, if he gave you too much foam, you could ask for a wet cappuccino. That means there'll be more liquid than foam. Usually a dry cappuccino is more foam, a wet is more liquid, and a latte is almost all liquid with just a little foam on the top.

    1. Thanks for the tip! I think I'll just stick to lattes from now on. I don't like the way "wet cappuccino" sounds.

    1. Thanks, Andrea!! Glad I'm not the only one who questioned my cappuccino. Seems like a lot to pay for some foam. :)
