The elusive soy...


Status: 14% zombie, 86% perk
Apparently, in Minnesota, coffee isn't quite such a big deal as it is at home. Yesterday when I left for the conference center, the coffee stand in the lobby of the hotel was closed. This was at 10:30 in the morning. Closed? Huh? I decided to wait until I arrived at the conference center to get my coffee, and as you can see from the picture above I did indeed find some. But no soy milk at that stand...hmmmmm. What if a person was completely allergic to dairy? Eh? What then? Skunked. I prefer not to have regular milki, but will take it if necessary. A little later in the day that stand was closed - CLOSED? So foreign to me...
I did find a coffee stand with soy milk today - but it was a good hike through the skyways to gt there. Oh well.
This post has absolutely nothing to do with anything, other than my realization that things are subtly different here. I guess they just don't have that obsession with caffeine like we do in the Northwest...
And another observation - WHY do women wear shoes that are obviously uncomfortable?!!! WHY??? There's a lot of walking and standing to be done at a conference - isn't it just better to wear something easy on the feet?
Almost time to make my way to the opening session - and after that is the exhibits grand opening.
SCHWAG!!!

At 3:00 in the afternoon, that cup of coffee in the picture looks pretty good to me, but alas I've already had my latte today...
