Matthew’s gift arrived safely and is now wrapped, waiting in the lounge. I mentioned previously that I was a little concerned about it being as nice as I’d hoped; well, that worry was quickly destroyed. :-D I am a little curious as to the actual arrival of the box though; the UPS man was nowhere to be found, and I saw someone walk into the trees on the side of the driveway. I’m thinking it was delivered it to the neighbors, highly weird, since their address isn’t even technically on the street. In either case, it made it here, I’m happy about it, and with it.

The second little trauma was finding Bormioli Rocco coffee cups for my brother Matt. I thought, originally, that this would be a very simple task. Crate & Barrel had been selling sets of six for quite a while, thus I was confident they’d still have them. I was wrong.

I’d bought mine at Marshalls and Ross, so I stopped at the Marshalls, no luck. Finally lastnight I made a ‘quick’ trip to Carlisle to hit the Ross & TJ Maxx there. Huzzah! Ross had them! I’d much rather have bought him the ‘all-purpose’ ones, versus the ‘cappuccino’ ones, but either way I’m sure he’ll be thrilled.

The reason I’d rather have been able to find the ‘all-purpose’ ones is that they hold exactly the right amount for my Folger’s Home Cafe coffee contraption. He doesn’t have one of those, so it’s really a non-issue, but… whatever. I have all three sizes, the third being for espresso, I love ‘em.
