It's been awhile. I have no excuse.
Summer:
1. painted our house. looks WAY better. bright blue, rotting trim is gone.
2. had a baby. jacob cody. he's pretty cute. and chunky. love him to pieces already.
3. charlie turned 2. my baby had grown so fast.
4. charlie turned 2. terrible twos are real. parents be warned.
5. my sewing/craft room is usable, and i love it.
Fall:
1. having two kids is busy.
2. i think i`ve figured out the two kids thing. now how to keep my house clean...
3. we`re going to minneapolis to shop. yay!
4. i have fallen in love with (maybe a bit too extreme of emotion) chai tea lattes.
5. i think i want one...
Pumpkin Spice Lattes:
i`ve heard about these. everybody raves about them once fall kicks in. i have never had one. i thought, hey, i`ll try one. see what the big deal is. it was good. i experienced a little bit of so called `sticker shock`. i ordered a tall. with no foam. get my money`s worth. i get to the window and to my absolute shock and horror... 5,32$ FIVE DOLLARS AND THIRTY TWO CENTS FOR (ESSENTIALLY) A CUP OF MILK. seriously starbucks? SERIOUSLY? so i paid and carried on, thinking 'boy, this is good. but not that good. NEVER AGAIN!'
so...a few days pass. i head to the good ol s'bucks for a chai tea latte. i happen to notice the price list for the pumpkin spice lattes. they charged me for a venti. a VENTI. seriously starbucks. SERIOUSLY? needless to say, i was a little choked.
so...last night, cody and i go through the drive thru at starbucks. both with the intention of ordering pumpkin spice lattes. we do. cody mentions there mishap once we arrive at the window and, kudos starbucks. they gave us one of the drinks for free. i still think they are obscenely priced for milk, but, i'm not as opposed to ordering this fall special.
