Starbucks 5 times in the past 24 hours…
So, FINALLY Starbucks [read: heaven] opened up in this po’dunk town of mine and well I am more than ecstatic about it! I have been so excited about my new coffee shop that I have been there 5 times in the past 24 hours. Yes, you read that right. It started yesterday morning as I was making a trip to the famers market. I decided to go the route that took me past the place where my future “hang out spot” would be. I glanced over and started to read the sign expecting it to tell me what has been telling me for the past month [”drive thru opening soon”]. But what to my eyed did appear but the wonderful words of “DRIVE THRU NOW OPEN”! It was if the heavens shined down, and lit up the sign just as I read it. I swear I heard angels singing in the background. I stopped and swirved the car into the drive thru so fast, it was amazing that I didn’t hit someone as quickly as I darted in there. As soon as I pulled up to the drive thru, I heard Pnut in the background say “Bar-Bucks? Mommy”. That truly is my son. We haven’t been to starbucks in some months and I am so glad that our town finally has one. My life is officially complete in this small town. Give me a Kroger, Walmart, and Starbucks…I’m good to go!
Since the infamous first trip, I have been going back every time my cup was empty. I call it my “mommy fuel”, hence the reason why I’ve been there approximately 5 times in the past 24 hours. I’ve re-tried just about all the fraps [just to refresh my memory] and next I will move onto the “hot drinks”. I’m sure I can’t keep up this habit for long since starbucks is too expensive for this work at home mom’s budget at least on a daily basis. But as a once a week treat, I can definitely handle. I have been working longer hours knowing that Starbucks was going to open up soon in this area, hence the reason for the frequent trips. I blog for Starbucks! My favorite drinks or the Caramel frap and the Caramel Machiatto both with no whip. What is your favorite Starbucks drink?

You better start looking up some starbuck’s recipes! Bar-Bucks, that’s so cute! The only thing that I would suggest is that you tone down the floral pattern, kinda fade it in more so it won’t be so bold against the text.

Starbucks = Yucko.
I know, that must sound like a sin to you, but I really hate coffee…and I hate the smell of coffee. Bleck. If I happen to go into a Starbucks for any reason, I get Hot Chocolate…that is all I can tolerate. I even tried to get a sweet tea from there once (for which I got a strange look from the guy behind the counter) and it was disgusting!

STARBUCKS….I am in love with them! I love a good Non-fat Carmel Latte. And I like the Carmel Frapp. I am so addicted to it. But I have to limit to once a week as well. It is quite expensive. Glad I am not the only one obssessed.
