No matter where I am in the world, there is one thing I can count on: Starbucks will not get my name right. Barcelona, Spain. Istanbul, Turkey (In the first one, the dude wrote down two names and asked me which was correct. I said the top one was closer...
1. This morning's Starbucks of choice was the new holiday Carmel Brulee Latte. It was delicious...
1. I would be one of those people at my corner Starbucks who they'd know my order as soon as I came in if I ever ordered the same drink twice in a row. I bounce between mochas and caramel macchiato, and pumpkin spice lattes, and white mochas, and espresso truffles (when I am having a really depressed morning) and other froufrou seasonal drinks. This morning I ordered, for the first time ever, a peppermint mocha. I always argued against it because I am not a fan of the taste of mint. But despite that I do like chocolate mints...
1. Saturday I got up early and went to work. I got there by 9am. The Starbucks was closed. I am sure there were a million open but I didn't want to go to a different one. I got a Dunkin Donuts Latte. I then worked until about 4. The best thing about the day was that at least some friends from ticketing were working so I could go bother them a bit. And Ron brought me a Pez dispenser! From the "biblical story" Kung Fu Panda. My desk is beginning to look like his. 2. Saturday night I came home...
1. It seems that the expresso truffle has survived past Christmas and has made it to the regular menu board at Starbucks. Score (for my taste buds...
1. Pumpkin Spice lattes are back. This is bad because it means fall is here. This is good becuase they are so yummy. This is bad because I spend too much money on them. 2. I miss Amsterdam and the Ultimate Party Bar Crawl: 3. Seriously, what else could be wrong about my life right now? ...
1. "If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days." Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar 2. I came across this picture while searching through my old laptop. I quite like it...
Yesterday I turned 22 (+5). OK, OK fine. I turned 27. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate my 27th birthday with me!!! It was definitely a day filled with the three things a woman wants most: chocolate, wine, and naked men!!! Here's how I spent my birthday...
Last night I went to Caribou to meet with my financial advisor. He wanted to go over my investments and I wanted help setting up my 401(k). I determined last night that I have the worst financial advisor ever. Yeah, so this is what transpired...
1. Please do not say that you're not really that picky about what you are looking for in a person you'd date when you do not want to date the person you are talking to. 2. Why does everything go wrong at 4:59? At approximately 4:59 on Monday our website crashed. Turned out to be a blown power circuit at the hosting facility. This meant I stayed at work until after six when it went back up. I actually don't mind the staying late...
