What's That All About?

Some of you may wonder why I named my blog what I did, some of you may not care at all, but regardless, I'll tell you.
There is an old Broadway play called, 70 Girls 70, about a bunch of elderly people who steal from high end department stores and use the money from selling the stolen goods in an effort to purchase a posh Upper West Side hotel for their retirement. In the play there is a song called "Coffee in a Cardboard Cup." This song is about how no one has time today to stop an exchange pleasantries, or even offer a genuine greeting. We are all too busy buying our coffee's to go and have given up the classic cultural pastime of sitting in a diner chatting it up with the servers or other patrons while we slowly consume a cup of liquid awesomeness. (Ok, so I like coffee...)
I thoroughly enjoy the song and often when I hear it, I am reminded about how I don't have time for anything, or how I don't make time for anything. I can't remember the last time I just sat and enjoyed a cup of coffee in the place where I bought it unless I was busy utilizing the free WiFi access, which I don't believe counts as quite the same thing.
So what is my blog about? It's about me reflecting on life, taking a moment to stop and share with you something encouraging, something fun, maybe a new recipe I found that I think is amazing and want you to enjoy it too. Perhaps I'll find something that is funny or neat and would like to pass it on. Regardless, this is a place to slow down, take a breath and smile for a moment in a day. I hope you will feel the same way too.

So Coffee In a Plastic Cup is a reflection that while we're still on the go, we don't have to rush quite as fast. I also wanted to avoid copyright infringement. ;)

Happy Day!
