    Cinnamon Dolce Latte

    I’ve tried a lot of stuff at Starbucks. Every time new drinks come out, I’m there. New pastries? Bring ‘em on. I’ll try most anything they’ll sample--whether I think I’ll like it or order it ever again doesn’t matter. I love sampling it.
    Today I decided on a whim to get a grande nonfat sugar-free Cinnamon Dolce Latte, with foam and caramel on top (it was basically a Cinnamon Dolce Macchiatto). I LOVED it. I’ve only tasted one other sugar-free drink, and it was gross, so this was a risk--and it paid off. It is tasty, and I’m pretty sure three other co-workers of mine came up to me today and said “Hey, have you tried the sugar-free Cinnamon Dolce Latte? It is SO good!” I’m not exaggerating--three co-workers. Needless to say, it’s worth a try.

    Last week, Fox had the audacity to premiere season six of 24 right before my huge impending deadline. Did this stop us from having a huge 24 party on both nights of the premiere? No way dude. We partied on, Wayne (party on Garth) on Sunday night and Monday night, complete with taco salad, apple crisp, and brownies and ice cream. Yum. For this big bash, Heidi made CTU badges and Lanyards for all attending, including Nathaniel and Noah (who went to bed promptly--we’re not THAT bad of parents). But I’ll just have you know, Nathaniel and Noah have not stopped wearing their CTU lanyards. It’s pretty cute.

    We had a very relaxing night last night. I’m pretty sure I went to bed before 10PM. Christy was doing homework and studying and I just snuck into bed. HEY! I deserved it! I need to do some resting after 2 weeks of constantly working. I’m hoping today is another relaxing day, I have very few plans and am just going to get caught up with some dumb little things I like to do around the house.

    You’re probably not hearing from Christy because she has a huge final on Tuesday night and is studying and finishing her project that is due.

    Oh, and a weird thing happened last night-I had a dream. I don’t mean I had a dream like Martin Luther King Jr had a dream, I just mean that I normally don’t dream at night when I sleep and last night I did. It was a weird dream with bugs and mythical happenings...and I think the MLCS gymnasium was involved as well. It was bizarre, especially since I can’t really remember the last time I dreamt at night. I guess that’s what happens when you get like ten hours of sleep...

  • Congrats that your meeting went so well!  And remembering your dreams does take two things...at least 8 hours of sleep a night, and practice.  I'm a wierd one that remembers at least 2 dreams a night, if not more.  But everything I've heard and read says that you can remember your dreams if you try to or want to.  Glad you got 10 hours...you should try it more often!

  • So what was your high score??

  • Haha, I love it. Your kids are so going to be the next Jack Bauers.

  • Thanks for the heads up on the Starbucks recall.  So close, we do have an 8-cup Starbucks Barista Aroma THERMOL coffeemaker, but I was scared there for a minute.  Whew!

  • Being suger free, that means that the Latte is good for you, right...hehe!  It does sound good though.  I usually only remember the weird dreams, myself!  Glad you got some rest.

  • I'm curious about what you thought of the chocolate fig bar... *shudder* It really looks so tasty, that when you actually try it, it's so very disappointing. :( Glad you like SFCDL, though! ;)

  • ^^Tastes like a choco powerbar...in a bad way...i sampled it. Yikes.

  • Glad to hear you are getting some well deserved rest...tell Christy hello for me!  Oh, and chocolate fig bar, even sounds bad....yuke!

  • Yeah, whoever thought that would be a good idea should be fired. Plus, we can't find our sign for it, so people keep pointing to it and asking for it, thinking it's a brownie. *sigh*
