Blended Chai.

Hey guys!

So, I guess my lack of updating yesterday calls for an explanation. ...Hopefully this will be good enough. So... I worked 10 hours yesterday - 6:30-4:30. Aaand when I got home, I was absolutely exhausted. Basically, all I did was eat the food my wonderful hubby made for me, stare at the TV while The Devil Wear Prada was playing, and then I barely made it to bed at 8 when I promptly fell asleep. THEN I had to get up this morning at 3:45 in order to be at work by 5. So... it's been a busy couple of days. So I hope you'll forgive me. :)

Anyhoo... I had the Blended Chai (David's drink - I know, I'm a little out of order.) today! I have to say.. I like the hot chai much better. The only reason is because I think putting the ice in the chai really waters it down, so you don't get as much of the awesome flavor of the chai tea. I think the hot chai is an awesome fall drink, and I'm sure that once fall hits I'll definitely be drinkin' some o' that. :D

Oh, and I worked SuperGlue today! So basically what that means is that I ran around everywhere and did everything. The only thing I didn't do was be the cashier. Beyond that though... I had to back up the cashiers by getting the drip coffees for them, make the sandwiches, make sure the bakery case was filled, back up on bar whenever I was needed, restock items, keep the coffees on track... and so on and so forth (seriously, there's even more. lol!). So yes... it was a busy day. :) I worked 7 hours, and it really didn't feel like it. I love working the morning shifts because they always work like that. I worked 5 til noon, and barely noticed that I worked that long. Again... I love my job. :)

Well, I guess that's it for now... Hope you all have a GREAT weekend! If any of you live in MN, make sure you get out to the State Fair! I don't think Eric and I will be going... so have extra fun for us! :) <3

PS - The Cranberry-Orange Scone is delicious..... Thanks Nancy (one of the best customers) for recommending it! :)

The "Love" Mocha and Weekend. :)

Wow, it's been a few days since I've posted! Sorry about that, guys.

Anyway, so on Friday I tried Whitney's "Love Mocha." ...I'm sorry to say, but it was definitely not my favorite drink ever. It was so sweet that I couldn't finish it, took it home to have Eric finish it, and he (the human vacuum) couldn't even finish it! Don't get me wrong, it tasted really good, but it was just so sweet. Basically, this drink was a white mocha with loads of caramel, hazelnut, and vanilla. If you want a really really sweet drink where you can't taste any coffee, this is definitely the way to go! Otherwise... you probably won't like it too much. But thanks for this option, Whitney! It's good to know what kinds of drinks people like. :) (PS - Congrats on the engagement! Your ring is beautiful!)

Well, this weekend has definitely been busy, but very good, with the hubby. We've been hanging out together all weekend with no official plans, and it's been awesome. For our date last night he took me to Rudy's Redeye Grill, which we were actually able to afford thanks to crowdcut.com. :) It was so much fun! Then we went to Cleary Lake and the Mall of America! 


We went to MOA today as well, but it was definitely a different experience. When we left our apartment, Eric told me that we could spend money, but only something that was $3 or less. Thus, we walked around the entire mall looking for the best deal, and we found it! For $2.95 we got a small "Top-It" frozen yogurt from Yogen-Fruz! It's also healthy because it contains probiotics (good for your digestive system!).

Anyhoo... That was our weekend. Hope yours was equally fun! Have a great evening!
