Coffee Talk {In the Cafe}
1. Have you ever watched TLC’s “My Strange Addiction”? I quit watching after I saw a lady gobble down some of her husband’s ashes. Kid you not. Anyway, when the show returns on 13 February, they’ll be profiling a woman who eats her cat’s hair. Her favorite way to enjoy the delicacy? Quick and easy, she licks it directly off the cat. Eww eww ewwwwww and that’s not just because cats freak me out either. That show just makes me look at people in a whole new light. And for the record, my weirdest eating habit is that I like to eat Kit Kat bars in a very methodical fashion:…

Anyway, I was sitting in the personnel office updating some paperwork, when I see these two guys in a separate part of the office looking at me. I acknowledged them and kept on talking.

Book Review: True Colors by Kristin Hannah
I’ve just finished reading True Colors by Kristin Hannah and all I can say is, I wish there were more… I’ve been a fan of Hannah’s since I read her book, Firefly Lane, a few years back because her books always leave me thinking and challenging myself to do more. Set on a picturesque horse farm in Washington State, True Colors follows the lives of the Grey sisters who were devastated by their mother’s death while they were still young as they navigate through the haze of their father’s distant affections. Winona, the oldest, is overweight and most starved for her father’s attention. She’s an over~achieving lawyer who has never really felt at home on…
