creature of habit?

Tuesday, April, 8, 2008

a friend of mine and i were talking on the way to lunch about being creatures of habit with certain things in our life.

after lunch i had an appointment at a nearby coffee shop. since i was using their space for an appointment, i had to buy something of course. i walked up to the counter. the two young ladies behind the counter smiled at me. before i could say a word, one of them told me my order. i was dumbfounded. remember, i had not said a word. obviously  my look said it all, and she said, “you come through the drive-thru almost every morning, right?” my order is not simple (i.e. small house coffee. black.). i order a large ice water and a large 1/2 caf, non-fat, 4 splenda au lait. i have to say it in my head before i even order it to make sure i get it right for them. this gal deserves employee of the year or something!

i am NOT a creature of habit all the time- i told her she had it wrong. i wanted it full decaf.

We all are creatures of habit. Everytime I go to a restaurant I seem to order the same things. Even though I enjoy them, I sometimes force myself to branch out and order something new. Most times I end up wishing I had ordered "the usual."

pressure to change

I don't think you're the only one who has ever changed it up just so the barista/cashier/server doesn't think you're "boring." My father, whose habit is a diet soft drink and particular brand of cookie, even goes out of his way to not visit the same gas station two days in a row. I think he doesn't want anyone to catch on....keep 'em guessing, I suppose. Blog on, annanelson!

I have been married to this incredible woman for over a year now, and every time I think I have her figured out, and that I know exactly what she wants, she orders full calf instead of 1/2 calf. Thanks for keeping me on my toes baby. I Love you. Your devoted husband.
