Cruise Collage....Part 1

A few weeks ago Lance and I went on a honey-cruise to have some fun and reconnect. Bubbalu stayed with his loving Grandparents, solidifying the wrappage of grandparents around said child's little finger and being loved to pieces. He didn't miss us much.

Wanna know what we did? K, get your mind out of the gutter, not gonna share about that...

Lance owned the rock wall...


and won an all ship speed race...


despite the nerdy helmet. ("honey, I WON!")


We got spiffed up for a formal night...

...and why am I smiling so much?

Because this man is my date....

And we still love each other.

I Am a Mocha Traitor..

Previously I have written about my undying love of the Peppermint Mocha, especially of the Starbucks variety (I know, I know, all you Sbux haters out there, just hold your comments for now :).

I have drank extra chocolate mochas for my entire adult life...which isn't all that long, but anyways. I have an extremely complicated mocha order :

Venti (Decaf after 2pm), 6 pump chocolate, 3 pump Peppermint (yes, year round) no whip, extra hot, well stirred Mocha…..Please.

So. I was up in L-town for a couple weeks late in February and got to chatting with the new barista at the L-town Starbucks. By the way, they know my family better than I do.

I mentioned how I hated the gritty sludge on the bottom of every mocha, and that I order an extra pump of chocolate to make the mocha more sweet.

Well, she quickly shot down my logic, " We use a bitter chocolate, it isn't sweet at all ".

Alrighty then.

She then suggested a White Chocolate Mocha, which is a sweeter chocolate. Hmm. Never considered that. So, I gave it a shot (teehee, no pun intended).

YUM.

And, I don't have to order an extra shot of chocolate, any peppermint, and the sludge? It's gone! Woot woot! And, I order it nonfat, cause I am health conscious like that. It tastes yummy.

So, I am a mocha traitor. I switched allegiance to the white chocolate mocha.

Grande...no whip....nonfat white chocolate mocha

(Oh yeah, and decaf after 2 pm, cause I gotta sleep).

Jeans of Perfection Svelteness...again.

Well, went shopping with the little sister again, and boy did we hit the jean jackpot! Who knew a Jeans of Perfection Svelteness day could not only occur again, but multiply exponentially as well!?

I was THIS close to buying a secondary set of fantabulous jeans. I was standing in line having pre-buyers remorse. Just didn't think the hubby would be thrilled with the purchase. So, I politely asked the saleslady to put them on hold for me.

I didn't go back for them.

I'm just waiting for Macy's to have another super sale.

Or, use a 40% off any one item coupon. Whatsthatyousay? They don't take Joanns coupons at Macy's?

Why not!?
