I have become what I used to chuckle at…
February 21, 2008
Today, I realized that in my suburban mom older age, I have become what I used to giggle at as a young wife/mother years ago. Okay, maybe not even that long ago, but definately way before I discovered Starbucks.
Pre-Starbucks, I used to completely not understand the appeal of a good hot drink ordered from that venerable institution. Yes, it was good, I’m sure. Yes, it smelled yummy. But come on….it’s coffee/tea/cider people. And all those variations?? Please…just fix something at home.
Well, flash forward to today:
”I’d like a Tall Sugar-Free Cinnamon Dulce Carmel Apple Spice no whip”
Yes…those are the words that came out of my mouth. Quickly, effortlessly, honed by a couple of years of practice. And I waited eagerly, took a small sip, and sighed. I now understand.

Haha…..I am not sold on hot drinks….I keep it simple with a Diet Pepsi or a Diet Coke. Still, I love to sit in coffee shops, especially if Chad is with me!
Have a great weekend!!
