From the Mixed Up Files of ME!: November 2007

Well, the first trimester of school ended on Friday. It seems as if I was just writing about the first day of school . . . maybe quite possibly it seems that way because there have been very few posts since then, hmm, well anyway . . .I can't believe the first trimester is over! What I really can't believe is that CC has two weeks of vacation coming up . . . thank goodness for theater because otherwise she would drive me crazy! Not that I don't enjoy spending time with her, it's just that whenever she is on vacation from school, she thinks she has the right to be entertained 24 hours a day! Not just, "let's play a board game" entertainment, but full out lavish "we need to spend money and do something exciting everyday" entertainment! Maybe I can get away with taking her to Starbucks each day for her 'Tall Sugar-Free Decaf Caramel Frappuccino' . . . probably not though! Speaking of Starbucks . . . I went through my pictures on Shutterfly the other day, and I was disturbed to discover that about 30% of my pictures are taken at Starbucks! I don't really know what disturbs me about that . . . maybe it's a sign that I need . . .to find a new coffee establishment! HaHa, I know you were thinking I was going to say maybe it's a sign I need a new life! The funny thing is, I really can't stand the taste of coffee! Starbucks has just been the place to meet and visit with friends that it has become a part of my daily life . . . I mean seriously, I get a headache if I haven't had my 'Iced Grande Extra Ice (very important) Tuxedo Mocha' by 9:00 a.m.! Personally I think it's all mental, but that still doesn't stop me! What's really bad, is my need to have coffee while I'm driving . . . I swear, it doesn't matter if I just had Starbucks, if I have to drive anywhere for a long distance, I have to have Starbucks!

"Hello, my name is Ryan and I am addicted to the idea of coffee!"

Here's the proof . . .

We use Starbucks as a Dentists' office, because it's cheaper than insurance!
