Back On The Juice

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

While Paige was at her hairapy appointment at Phase 3, I was three doors down at Cherry Street Coffee House (pictured above) on First Avenue in Belltown.

I started drinking coffee again when I went to visit my Aunt for the last time before she passed away. Early in the morning on the day that I was supposed to leave, I was in the maternity ward fawning over baby Lily for the first time. It was just before 3:00 am. I left for the southern Oregon Coast 6 hours later.

I couldn’t have made it through the 7 1/2 hour drive and the subsequent days in Coos Bay without being fueled by caffeine. I had a couple of late nights pondering the meaning of life and consequently spent the daytime mainlining coffee to keep me awake and alert. And let me tell you, it was not easy. Hospital coffee sucks. In fact, the coffee in the entire city of Coos Bay sucks. The coffee there is only palatable with 4 sugar packets and 2 shakes of Coffeemate. So disgusting, I know.

I had been trying to temper my consumption after the trip, but when I went up to Vancouver, espresso doppio became my best friend. It has been a slippery slope since … I really do love some good coffee. And c’mon, I’m in Seattle – where there’s multiple coffee shops on each block. It’s was only a matter of time before I fell off the wagon.

In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.

Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

This site is hosted by BlueHost. They have good manners and never yell or make me feel like an idiot - even when I did that one thing which was very, very bad. I think they are swell.

This is the personal website of Giyen Kim. I use this space to let off steam and write exceedingly bad prose.

For all intents and purposes, I can be best described as a writer, foodie, web designer, humorist, and news junkie. I am also a big dreamer and lover of all people. This means you too.

And case you were wondering, yep that's me up there rockin the Buster Browns and modified Dorthy Hamill haircut. As you can tell, my parents were unusually cruel. This would probably explain why I spend most mornings hiding under the covers, wishing that it was Sunday.
