Best Laid Plans

I like to come to Starbucks and blog... But the closest Starbucks has had a water main break... and it's been out of commission for the last 3 days! Which is very frustrating... I sort of know when a good time to go there is... 9:30 am... morning rush is over and mid-morning rush has not yet begun. But now... I am driving around looking for the next best one. Which right now is the Indigo Starbucks. This is the one that is usually overrun my moms and tots! This morning is no different... except I got here at the crack of 9:30 when the store opens and I had my pick of tables. But now, an hour later, it is a zoo of moms and tots and others. It's kind of nice to see so many people here. There's even a little children's table next to me with 4 little kids colouring and sipping their water. It's nice to see Starbucks having concern for the little one. I also have to admit, a coffee shop in a bookstore is a grand idea! Although I do (most times) make it out of here without buying anything... there are times when I am sorely tempted... so it makes sense to have a partnership like this. I know there are Starbucks in Safeway... but that is not as "fun" for someone who wants to sit and write... Too much bus-y-ness there.
