Buttercups & Burlap

Do you have a favorite spot to go out for coffee or dinner? What makes the spot so great?

Not really a must go to and sit and sip my coffee type of place; unless you count my couch on a weekend morning. Starbucks is my favorite place to get coffee when I’m out and about though. I even finally joined everyone in this decade and got the Starbucks app and card on my FitBit. I like my fancy coffees although I mostly just get simple orders like a Cafe Americano. I love trying new restaurants, especially with my girlfriends. We go to The Sawmill a lot but since it changed from Moose Factory the quality and menu variety has gone down really fast but it is one of the few places my husband will go out to eat and it was one of our first dates. I do really love the Olive Garden for the same reason.

What is more important in a friend: someone who makes you laugh, or someone who is always there for you?

Someone who is always there for you is the most important. Together you can love and support one another. You can make memories together and generate laughs together. If you can find someone who is always there for you and make you laugh you have hit the jackpot. I can say that I have found that in my life. You can always find things to make you laugh in this life; maybe scrolling on Instagram or watching TV but you can’t manufacture a true support network in this topsy turvy world. A true supportive friend; now that is like a diamond in the rough. But you have to remember that you have to reciprocate the support, it can’t be a one-sided relationship. I don’t have a ton of friends but I have a few top quality ladies in my life who are always there for me and I’m always there for them.

Do you recycle? If so, what do you recycle? If not, why not?

I recycle because it’s required in terms of cans, bottles, and paper. I could be much more of a green consumer though. I recycle my clothes. I wear everything until it pretty much falls apart. I do use a refillable water bottle, but sadly that is canceled out by the one-time-use coffee pods I for my Keurig. To make up for my lack of recycling I try to drive less. I reuse gift bags. However, I can never remember to bring my reusable grocery bags when I go shopping so I suppose that’s canceled out as well. I really need to do better but at school / work I am much better and even if I don’t walk the walk I do talk the talk and hopefully my students will do better.
