I am not a coffee person. Ok, let me restate that. I was not a coffee person until last week. I was in Target (stop laughing, I know I’m always in Target) and as usual I go to Starbucks to get a Chai tea. I don’t like coffee, none of the kids in my family like coffee. We all drink cokes to get our daily dose of caffeine. Back to the story, I order my Chai tea and John offers me a taste of their new coffee drink, Pumpkin spice latte. If you have read my other post today, you would know that I love Pumpkin pie and therefore love Pumpkin pie spices. So much so that when I make Pumpkin pie I put in 3 to 5 times the amount of pumpkin pie spices that are called for. So the idea of a pumpkin latte just hit me right that day. It was good. It had whipped cream on top that “milked” down the coffee more but it was still good. I couldn’t believe it. The next time I went to Starbucks I ordered a Pumpkin Latte. I made a big mistake, I totally forgot about the taste of regular milk and pumpkin spices. It’s just gross. If you like regular milk with Chai or pumpkin spices, you need to try it with soy milk. I know what you are thinking….gross. But the nutty flavor of the soy make those spices taste better by far. I didn’t enjoy that latte that much. The next time I was in Starbucks my husband was with me. He didn’t notice I had ordered coffee. My new drink…. (Starbucks speak) tall soy sugar free vanilla latte.
I am officially a coffee drinker. I even bought some coffee to make at home. My lovely husband makes my coffee for me now. Until I get the hang of the coffee maker we have. My mom and dad would be so proud. I am the first to go over to the dark side.
My spoilee for my Day of the Dead Swap sent me an invitation to a Starbucks n Yarn Swap. How perfect. I love it. I didn’t even think twice about signing up for this. The swap started this week and I have my spoilee. Her name is Trisia. Check out her blog at http://knuttyknitting.blogspot.com. I am just starting to stalk (spoil) her. Gotta find out all I can on her.
BTW, I love my spoilee with DotD swap. We have so much in common. It’s like finding a long lost friend. Don’t forget her blog here. She has great posts and a great stash of yarn. I am so jealous. Plus she is going to a weekend retreat to knit. All weekend. Oh, to be able to sit and knit all weekend with no interruptions. Only in my dream.

Later
