My friends and family all know I don’t like coffee – of any kind. Maybe to be more specific I don’t like the flavor of coffee. No matter how sugared, “syruped”, or doctored up I can still taste the coffee and its yucky! 😕
Years ago when the SB phenomenon began I was in a dilemma. My friends were gathering at SB for coffee and chatting and I didn’t want to miss out. I would order a hot chocolate and feel like the kid in the group…. And then I discovered Chai – and I fell in love. My drink of choice Vanilla, non-fat, no water Chai. I love it! So happily I felt like a grown-up at the table and developed a healthy addiction to my chai.
I remember when I began this addiction I payed less than $4 – then before I knew it I was paying $4.50 (Grande) then I was annoyed when about a year ago it went to $4.82. Monday night I heard on the news that SB would be once again raising the cost of their drinks – and raising the pay of their employees. I’m certain the uber successf_ul SB does not need to gouge their customers in order to give their employees a raise. 🙄
I had forgotten about the news and found myself ordering my usual SB drink the next morning. When I was asked to hand over $5.07 I balked…. $5.07 for a medium cup of tea syrup and milk….
So it’s official. I’m breaking up with SB. I’m sure that just like that boyfriend in high school – the one you kept trying to break up with but found ourselves standing a little too close a time or two – I will wander back. But I am officially in the process of no longer participating in this unhealthy and costly relationship. So hold me accountable friends!
In other news…
I got to meet these two heart breakers!!!
Levi
Ellis
These brothers are the son of one of my favorite students! 😀 They arrived a bit early on the Fourth of July but are doing awesome! They are just the most adorably perfect tiny humans! It had been a long time since I had held a baby so small but Ellis and I did some serious bonding! Naturally I was reminded of my own preemie. Its difficult to remember when my 6’7″ son was just as small as these guys!

Just keeping it real – I hate selfies because of the pressure of taking an attractive picture of myself is just daunting. So I just didn’t even try! 😆
