A Starbucks Story

So I think i scared the new guy at Starbucks yesterday morning. I use the drive through one because its on my way to work. so i pull up to the speaker thingy. and look into the building. i see there's a guy i don't recognize so i say,

"this is going to be really complicated, so be warned".

he goes "okay...."

So i order "Venti, Non Fat, No Whip, Vanilla Mocha. With an extra shot, and make it extra hot"

long pause.....

longer pause.....

I'm laughing.

i hear: "okay i got the mocha part" lol.

Then I laugh harder!!

So I repeat it Slower. lol.

i lauged all the way to the window. The girls were helping him. it was funny.

I told him Good Luck!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So then fast forward to last night.

Me and B were sitting on the couch watching movies and i told him the story and we got a good giggle out of it.

then we had a mini drunken tiff last night but it was no biggie. to be honest other than something about not being heard, i can't remember what it was about.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

fast forward again to this morning

Me and B go to the gym like we do on most Saturday mornings then we go to Starbucks. I stayed in the car when he went in.

he comes back to the car with my drink EXACTLY RIGHT! he totally remembered my drink from the story i told last night. I was seriously grinning from ear to ear!!
he even remembered my straw! i always have to have a straw!

Sometimes he shocks the shit out of me. I love that man!! lol.

I'm Not Normally

an overly religious person

but i need to say

May the lord bless ad keep you

May his face shine upon you

May his presence surround you

and give you peace!!!

Lets Bring It Down For a Moment

So I have come to a Conclussion...


Cancer is the great equalizer.

It doesn't matter your age, race, back ground, what you did in your past, who you are. Cancer is the greatest equalizer i know of.

I just found out one of the most amazing men in my life has end stage lung cancer. My Great Uncle Ken. I am tearing up as i type this. I love him. He so does not deerve this.

Don't get me wrong. I love my parents. BUT my Uncle Ken and my Aunt Henrieta are what i want to model my marriage after. They have been married for almost 60 years. And they are more in love than anyone i've ever seen.

My Uncle is a good man. He doesn't deserve the end of cancer. I feel so useless. So helpless. I hate it.

I hope he knows how much i love him and how much him and my aunt mean to me! I understand that there's a grand scheme of things, but this... this... this just doesn't make since.


So i'm going to post a bunch of pictures. But i want to give the background first.
When me and B got married my aunt had fallen and broken her hip. We weren't sure if they were going to make it. So I went thru getting ready, the ceremony and everything thinking that they were with me in heart, but not in body. then:

I see them in line!

And I cry Happy Tears that they are there.


And he tells me how happy he is for me and how much he loves me.

And We hug!!

And B. Like the loving husband he is, trys to understand. Lol.

My uncle Ken Is AMAZING!!

This is Me and my Aunt Hank at their 50th Wedding Anniversary when i was in High School. She's Full Eskimo and I Love her more than sunshine. She's an Amazing Light for the world to see.

Do You Ever?

Go walking down the street alone. Think to yourself "xyz would be a GREAT blog idea" and then when you finally sit down and have time enough to actually blog.... you EFFING FORGET?

i need a blog only note book in my purse and keep it on me at all times.
I swear i have the greatest idas when i have no time to blog.

I've decided

I'm going to join Weight Watchers

I've been working out 2-4 times a week
I've been eating better.
I just feel like there's another step i can take
So Wednesday @ 6:45.

I'm pretty excited!

So far i've been cutting down my calorie intake
I've been watching my portion control

But i just think this is a good next step
