Happy Mother's Day!

My brother and I got my mother fancy coffee - or rather, as he lives in Florida, I got deputized to purchase fancy coffee on his behalf as well as my own.

I love coffee shopping. I'm not a fan of actual coffee, which never tastes as delicious as it smells, but I love opening up jars and jars of coffee beans and sticking my nose in them and falling over backward in surprise as the amaretto coffee explodes in my nose.

I suspect this was somewhat more adorable when I was ten.

Also, my dad gave my mom a voucher to go to Turkey to visit her best friend, who married a Turkish fellow and moved to Turkey and fell out of touch, because this was back before the internet. But they reconnected through Facebook - who says Facebook never does anything good? - and now she's thinking about going.

I might go too. O.o I might teach English there next year. I hate that I don't have a plan for next year; I've always had a plan for next year before. (Because I've always been in school before. That doesn't make this less unnerving.)

I think teaching English in Turkey sounds like a very cool idea.

Are you graduating this year, then? If so, congratulations!

I don't like drinking coffee either, but I've learned that it's my favourite perfume scent.

Coffee perfume? I think that would make me hungry!

I do too. But I've got a lot of ideas on the burner, as it were, so we'll see...

I am! I've sort of already graduated (I finished my requirements at the end of winter term, so I'm home for spring - my school's on a trimester system), but I don't technically get the diploma till June.
