You know you have lived in too many cities when you can't even remember the name of your favorite place to go get a cup of joe! On my initial Knitters Coffee Swap 4 questionnaire I answered that I loved to go to Coffee Tree Roasters in Chicago for my coffee... the only problem is that
Coffee Tree Roasters is in Pittsburgh, not Chicago! If my partner, Jodi, hadn't been from Chicago I would have remained confused... however, luckily, I now, think I have it straightened out. I used to go to
The Coffee and Tea Exchange when I lived in Chicago!
And, you might ask, how many cities have I lived in... well... I grew up in
West Hartford, CT, went to college in
Ithaca, NY, lived in NYC for 2 years, then moved to
Chicago, IL for grad school, lived there for 5 years (in 5 different apts!) and then to
Boston for 1 year to teach. After Boston I got a "full-time/tenure track job" and moved to
Pittsburgh for 3 years, where I might have actually stayed... I mean I even bought a house,
BUT... then I met my husband, and so, the moving boxes came out again, and here I am on Long Island!

I used to love the Coffee and Tea Exchange! I still live in Chicago but moved from the old neighborhood 9 years ago. I do miss it.
Holy cow, that's a lot of moving! 5 apts in 5 years in Chicago?
Hurray for the Coffee and Tea Exchange!
