It's official.. I'm A Starbucks Snob

You know that moment you find yourself between the Barista and the cash register.. the one where you have to open your mouth and decide the drink that will determine your mood for the entire day..? Well I was there. ehhhh, not quite... i was 28th in line from that spot at 8:07 this morning (Prime time for starbar, in case any of you coffee haters didn't know). Here we go. Black Tea Lemonade, or Non-Fat Vanilla Latte? Black Tea Lemonade or Non-Fat Vanilla Latte!! I found myself in a horrible spot of uncertainty and indecisiveness... 24, 23, 22.. I was getting closer and my palms began to sweat.. 13, 12, 11.. my heart was pounding.. Black Tea Lemonade or NON-FAT VANILLA LATTE! Hi welcome to starbucks what can I start for you today? Guh.. "excuse me?" Okay.. totally mortified.. I tried again. Igh... "i'm sorry what was that?" BLACK TEA LEMONADE! It was almost as if I threw up on the poor girl. Control yourself Alyssa..

"I have an iced venti black tea lemonade at the bar for Alyssa..." Okay, that's right, a little celebration started to occur in my belly. I took a sip from that gorgeous, green straw that symbolized the very essence of my addiction... and yes, IT WAS FABU! A little more tea than usual but I like it! And hey.. less lemonade, less calories. (whoop whoop) Counting Crow's "Accidentally in Love" just became the theme song to my morning. With a little bounce in my step, I journeyed on.

-I passed a beautiful tattoo and decided I wanted to get one

-Passed a sign for 24 hour prayer and decided maybe God doesn't want me to get one right now

-saw eight cute sun dresses that I swore would look killer on me

-watched a Vietnamese women slap a guy in the face to get his attention

-saw a girl that works at starbucks pass me in her regular street clothes.. she's adorable

-I want a baby boy

-Nearly fell down the stairs in my new sandals

-Saw Lauren Walters, a friend from elementary school.. still hasn't grown an inch

-decided that slapping to get attention was a cultural thing in Vietnam

-wondered if my BTL had less calories than a vanilla latte

-decided to test my theory of culture slapping next time I went to the nail salon

-went to the bathroom and heard people talk about it being a breeding ground for the swine flu

-washed my hand two extra times just in case

-decided not to test my theory of attention grabbing slapping Vietnamese women

-walked into class and saw my beautiful seat open and waiting for me

-nearly tripped again walking up the stairs

-Face is red

A glorious morning :) I even found out that my Black Tea Lemonade has 40 less calories and 105 less grams of sodium than a non-fat vanilla latte. New theme song.. "Hey Soul Sister" by Train, love that song, and loving the day God has given to me today!
