Did somebody say Coffee?

L

Day 3 of my vacation and it is pretty fine! We have complimentary continental breakfast every morning in the little dining area at this hotel. It only seats 20 so really, it's not that big. There is plenty to fill up on but the coffee mugs only hold 4 ounces and resemble the milk mugs I had for my children when they were toddlers. Any smaller and they would have to be espresso cups.  We feel as though we should stand at the coffee caraf and drink it, refill, drink, etc....

I'm on my second cup of coffee wishing it was triple its size. I'm pretty desperate some mornings for that perfect mug of caffeine with its flavored creamer.

A middle aged couple stroll into the breakfast area, carrying their 32 oz. travel coffee mugs and begin to fill up. No 4 ounce coffees for them. Their mugs are open and ready. They are dismayed when the carafe is empty and they aren't able to fill up to the rim on mug number 2. I look over to Mr. Man who has been nurturing his 4 ouncer and both of us trying not to be too greedy at getting a third cup. His eyebrows go up. He was planning on getting another cup of coffee just before these hogs came in. They have nerve to open up the large pump carafe and pour the last drips into their mugs before sweeping all the pastries onto their waiting platter and leave. The breakfast attendant rapidly began a refill of the carafes and a second couple walked in and did a repeat performance with their travel mugs.

Its Day 4 of my vacation and it is pretty fine! Mr. Man and I walk in to the dining area with our 40 ounce travel mugs .........................
