Gold Card

I am officially a "Gold Card" member at Starbucks! This is a rewards card, every time you buy a drink you get a star which leads/rewards you with special benefits such as free syrups, free drinks every 15 stars and so on... Essentially this means that I go to Starbucks...a lot. I recently received my physical gold card in the mail and I'm going to be honest, I did a little dance! I love Starbucks- I know their drinks are thousands of calories (trust me, my mom reminds me every time I go)- but I still go and enjoy everything about it, the smell, atmosphere and the multitude of drinks.

I am a huge fan of SNL, for those of you who don't know that stands for Saturday Night Live, a late night comedy show that airs, you guessed it, every Saturday night. Last Saturdays episode was the season finale, it will pick up again in the late fall but it was also Kristen Wiigs last episode! I, among many other SNL followers, feel very sad about this! Kristen was one of the funniest characters on the show, any skit she was in was guaranteed to be funny. She herself has so many "classic" characters that will be missed such as Do-It-All girl, Gilly and Target Lady that will now be "put to rest" with her retirement. I have to say I got a little teary eyed when they gave her a subtle goodbye tribute, subtle because it wasn't officially announced that it was her last episode but later was confirmed. It was actually an honor for Kristen to be given a "subtle goodbye" because it is something that has never been done for any of the previous cast members that have left.

As always have a wonderful rest of your week, soak in those sun rays (with sunblock of course) and maybe stop by a Starbucks! ;)

Happy Hour at Starbucks

Yesterday I had a pleasant surprise! I went to Starbucks- I always do!- and I ordered one of their new drinks, a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, however the surprise was that it was half price!! Starbucks has started their "Happy Hour" this month from May 4 - May 13 at 3:00 to 5:00! It is wonderful! I got a $4 drink for $2...Its the little things in life.

My house smells like delicious home made chocolate chip cookies, one of the best smells! My baking cabinet has been completely reorganized, there are no longer bags of flour and sugar but large glass jars that are cleanly filled to the top with all of the baking essentials. They make it so much easier to scoop out the proper amount without getting flour or sugar everywhere! They make for a much cleaner baking experience.

The weather has been marvelous lately, summer is around the corner and I cant wait! 5 more weeks and it will be official... Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, I'm headed to Starbucks at 3 for a half price frappuccino and the relaxing ambiance where I will continue to read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. 

You Changed?

Well hello new layout! When did you get here?
Whats up with this new website design? I like it...

I have officially made plans for next year and am ready to move on! So many people hate change, myself included! I hate when a tradition is broken or personal item is thrown away. However, a life changing change, like moving, going to college, getting married, starting a career, these are all exciting changes! You have no choice but to jump right in, head first! These changes involve a lot of fear and nerves but the majority of the time they are positive changes and this fear is half excitement.

I have been living in a life of constant repetitive day-to-day situations, in no way a surprise, I always know what to expect and to know that next year everything will be new, different, the unknown is stomach turning and refreshing! I honestly cant wait-have you ever felt so board by your routine that you start to feel tired, slow, and sluggish? Thats how I feel right now...I almost feel nothing-like the main character (Julia Roberts) from Eat Pray Love- I.feel.nothing.


However I do enjoy reading and watching my TV shows! I am about to embark on A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. I am only seven pages in and I was hooked on page one! Not only are the reviews marvelous but the witty "Rules and Suggestions for Enjoyment of This Book" is unique and humours-unlike anything I have seen before. Eggers basically tells you not to read the preface or chapters 1-10. This only makes me want to read them more!

My favorite TV serious of the moment is Revenge! Not only does it have one of my favorite actresses from Everwood in it but the show itself is-once again- unlike any of the TV shows on the air right now! Its a mystery that keeps twisting and turning. I never know what to expect! Right when I think its going to "zig" it "zags"! I highly recommend it to anyone who has not watched it! However you MUST start from the beginning, you will be lost if you start now.

These are all of my thoughts- if you have made it to the end of this blogg thank you! I leave you with this video of a vloger that I love, her name is Emily and she wrote this book at 15 in 2004...Enjoy.
