I'M ALWAYS WHERE I NEED TO BE

Hiya! What are you up to? I'm just trying to take a picture of my straightened hair. It wont work. Never mind. I just read chapter 2 of Steafene's story and I'm in love with it! http://athenasbrandneweyes.blogspot.com/ so there now and read it! It's amazing! Actually, I just read it over again because it gives me goosebumps. I love it. Awww, this cute little bunny makes me smile, like Josh. Hahaha. Wow, well, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday, I have a workshop for the yearbook from 10am to 2pm. It's just going to be some, get used to yearbook, learn the ins and outs, check out the cameras, flash drives and tasks and all that. I got my new clothes today that I ordered from Wet Seal. My chiffon dress, my leggings and my ivory top, very nice. I love receiving things in the post. I also received got a Vegetarian Starter Kit Magazine in the post today, would you like some facts from it?
Well, did you know that there are over 12 million vegetarians in the United States? And it takes over 144 gallons of water to produce 1lbs of pork, as opposed to the 14 gallons it takes to produce 1lbs of grain. Amazing stuff. And 70% of the water on earth is used to hydrate cattle for consumption. That's a lot of water that we could be bottling up or moving across the oceans to people who need it! Today I made a vegetarian Lasagna. I used Morning Star Meal Starters ground beef replacement, spinach, tomato sauce, mushrooms, green peppers and ricotta cheese. Oh and some Parmesan and mozzarella. It was delish and everyone ate it all up! :] See, vegetarian food is yummy, so yummy that a house full of meat eaters can enjoy a vegetarian meal.

I’m in such an odd mood right now.  Blah. I had so much fun with Steafene with weekend!  We stayed up the entirety of the first night and we went on the paddle boat and paddled out to the middle of the Lake at 2am and then we slept for a bit on the water trampoline in the middle of the lake.  After that, we went home and went for a bike ride to the school at cycled around the blacktop and wandered around until 5:30am.  then we crashed on our beds and slept until noon.  We had tons of fun.  :)

Hahahaha!  I love that cartoon strip, especially the funeral one!  I’m just trying to upload the dozen of picture we took with my phone, and it’s taking an eternity!  check out my tumblr!  OrchidTea and look at all the lovely things I’ve posted.  Alright then, i guess I[m going to go and eat supper now.  I’ll write in the morning!

I don’t know why I bother writing my name at the top of these posts anymore.  I mean, I’m the only one writing in here since Hannah disappeared.  I have to write, draw and take amazing photos for an amazing person.  Because I didn’t do what I wanted to do for them… because I fail at letter sending.  I will do this though.

Haha, I really need to start writing more poetry, taking ore pictures, sewing more clothes, cleaning more rooms, making more money and doing more overall.  I think it’s list time.  I love to make lists and they always help me separate my thoughts and feel like I know what’s going on, what needs to be done, and when.  I like to sort things out on paper because then I can just look at it and feel better about everything.  I was looking through my wallet a while ago and I tend to have random things in there.  I found a note that I had written myself and it just made me smile.  So I think I’m going to write out another note for myself and hide it somewhere.  Then I’ll avoid it and pull it out at some point and smile after reading it.  I think I’ll go and draw something epic right now.

Hi!  I’m just about to go and finish packing for my weekend away with Steafene at Indian Lake.  I have about 5 hours until I have to be all ready.  And for once in a million years, I haven’t fully packed a day before.  I really want to save my money.  But I totally just spent $25 on shampoo and conditioner.  Argh, I really wish I didn’t spend that money.  But whatever, I’m definitely going to chill out and save my $120 that’s hidden away from my eyes and refuse to spend it.  I hate money, I hate saving up for things and I hate how I want to buy so many things!  It’ so frustrating!!!  Anyone want to donate some cash to me?  I’d love you forever!  Ugh, I just handed over more money to my mummy, I’m screwed money-wise.

I can't wait until the 15th September when I get to see Cage the Elephant and Manchester Orchestra and Silversun Pickups. Argh! I'm totally not in a writing mood! I'm in a: fill out my application to Urban Outfitters and take more pictures for my lookbook and tumblr mood. So... here is a picture of a fox.
Awww! Don't you just wanna hug it and keep it forever! I miss the guy from Urban Outfitters.... he was pretty gorgeous. Anyways, as I said, I'm not in the mood for this blog right now. SO go and check out my tumblrs and lookbook and such.

Hello hello hello.  I started another tumblr.  Orchid Tea, www.orchidtea.tumblr.com and I almost like it more than my own tumblr.  So I have come to this conclusion.  I will use www.laura-e-rose.tumblr.com for my own actual blogging and www.orchidtea.tumblr.com for those pictures that just make you think, or wonder the meaning of… or laugh, or cry.  Or whatever. 

Decode this message, or at least try.  Do you want a hint?  Okay then, read the italicized words only.  Yeah, I know, quite the opposite as to what is written when you first read it.  I made it up, and that’s probably why it isn’t very good.  But Right now I’m waiting upon my mother so that I can bleach up my roots so that I don’t look like a badger skink monster for tomorrow.  I love peroxide.  :)

Good day everyone. Today I went with my grandma and my younger brothers to the University Club pool to go swimming and such. So we got there at about 1pm and left at about 5:15pm. So much swimming! So, we were chilling, swimming, playing guess who and eating cookies and milkshakes. Then, my little brother got a memory card game and we went to a picnic table and started playing. And guess what wonderful person came up to greet us! If you guessed David Dalen then you were right! (by the way, you can access his Twtter by clicking his name).

I’m going to finish writing this upstairs…. br. Okay, I'm upstairs right now and this is probably going to make this post look really screwed up. I'm on the phone with Steafene right now, she has a blog.... www.athenasbrandneweyes.blogspot.com so, yeah. Go to it and enjoy her writing, alright? :) Hayley Williams is a meanie who psyched out her fans, no cool. I mean, it's a bit unrealistic to expect her to tweet her number but, really, come on. Anyway, Steafene is at a Baseball game and I can hear all the sounds in the background, it's like I'm there! I've never been to a baseball game. I need to bleach my hair tomorrow morning, so that I wont look like a freak in my yearbook picture. Ugh, I hope I don't look stupid... like the last 6 years haha. At least I'll see a whole bunch of people. Okay, I'm starving, bye!

Hey! I'm still listening to Manchester Orchestra, I know, I'm slightly addicted. Anyway, people seem to enjoy showing up to my house unannounced for some reason. Several times the neighbour has just walked in, some kids down the street like to show up and invite themselves in and other various people like to think they cam show up randomly when I'm obviously not looking my best. Which is a big pain in the ass. So we really need to remember to lock the door! I guess it's because everywhere I've lived the doors have locked by themselves and you just needed to double bolt the door before you went to bed. And we still haven't gotten used to it. But we need to, now.
Hallelujah! I don't know why I said that. But right now Alex is trying to get me to cycle down to Quality Dairy and get him some sweets but I'm trying to get him to save his money. I'm doing a great job, he's trying to pay me to go and get him stuff, I might cave, not because of the $2, but because he's really cute! But I think it would be in his best interest to save him moolah. I am too, so it would be like working on something together. I need $648.80 and I only have... ummm, not much. Erg. I'll write more later.

Listening to Beyonce once again. Plans were changed and I ended up staying over Brianna's house with Steafene. Fun though. We watched The Final Riot and it was amazing. "And that's why we have rolls!" best quote of the DVD. It took 3 hours for the DVD to finally work, but we waited it out and watched it all. I love Paramore, I love Josh, I love Hayley, I love Jeremy, I love Zac and I love Taylor. I really want to go to a meet and greet for Paramore. And Chiodos would be cool, I was technically at a Chiodos one but I was too busy keeping my spot in the front row.
I really like my outfit today, and I'm sorry if I'm tooting my own horn, but ah well. I'm wearing charcoal grey tights, dark blue denim short shorts with a black tank top, a white with black pinstripes Claiborne dress shirt with a wide black belt, high waisted of course, pearls and my pink Keds. Oh and I fixed my Ray Bans.
I'm listening to Manchester Orchestra right now, they make me happy. Click 'Listen' on the widget just over there to hear some of their new tracks. I really want to go and see them in concert in September. Apparently they are going to be in Grand Rapids pretty soon and I would really love to go and see them. I wish that they would come back to Mac's Bar again though.

"Chika boom boom boom. Laura is a Pie. She eats my, do you want some chia. She is my chai, do you want some pie, chia. I've been thinking of this for years, and Laura you could used this as your lyrics." Alex was just singing that right now, and it was so cute, I just had to type it up. I'm not on my laptop right now so I don't have the almighty blog editor that I have fallen head over heels with. Poop. So, new craze for everyone, dailybooth. (www.dailybooth.com) the whole concept is a daily journal based on a picture taken by yourself (preferably on a webcam) the kind of sums up how you feel, what your doing or how your day went. It's like twitter, for camera whores (Thine self included). Rawr, going to Steafy's today, and I'm only bringing a little bit of cash because if we stop off anywhere then I know I'm going to spend all the money I can without hesitation. But I have a mantra, if you will. I'm not going to write it out, because it's stupid, but it may in fact keep me from spending money until I go to Urban or Wet Seal or Forever 21.
Grr! My mum just came home with a band spanking new, shiny iPhone and I'm insane with horrid jealousy. I wish I had an iPhone, because, well, I'm Laura, and I love technology. Seriously, I just have a knack for techy things. Throw a new phone my way and I'll know the ins and outs in an instant. And I may just be bitter, but, I have a 1GB iPod (yes, they do exist) and I text more than anyone in this house. I'm on the internet more than anyone in this house too! My mum goes online to check her email ever blue moon and to browse pictures of random people. But I am sadly always texting, tumbling, blogging, tweeting or something similar. So you understand how happy I would be if I had an iPhone?! ALMOST as happy as if I got my camera, but not quite. I guess she deserves it, whatever. I mean, I can appreciate it while she's using it I guess. But that poor iPhone will never know the wonders of Twitter Apps or it's full abilities. Sigh. I'll steal it from her when she's not looking. ;)

Hi! How is everyone doing today? I just got back form Denny's and I'm really full right now. I was playing the Sims 3 earlier and my sim is pregnant! Woot woot! haha, she starting throwing up and complaining of back pain and such. So I sent her off to the spa. I don't think I play Sims honestly anymore. I always cave in and find some cheats for money and work maybe one day a week. So unlike real life, but it's fun to just be lazy and rich. ;)
I have cute little brothers, i love them to bits. They get on my last nerve a lot, but I really do love them a lot. I'm sleeping over Steafene's house tomorrow! Yay! Last time I was there, we slept in a car and talked about so many things. It was really fun, and I bet this time will be incridibly fun too, because, well... it ALWAYS is. :) I really don't feel like blogging today, and that's why Twitter is so wonderful! I can call up and rant and it'll post to my blog. No typing or anything! Magic! Tumbler will be my new obsession next year, I can feel it. I'm tempted just to bail out and start on that project. But, that sentence just sounded like something a certain ass would say, and I'm so close to the end, I can taste it.

Okay, before I really say anything about today, let me see this.My bestie, Steafene, is writing an incredibly amazing story, and I think you should check it out, and the rest of her blog while you’re at it.  http://athenasbrandneweyes.blogspot.com/

I’m starting to write a story too, and the working title right now is: Letters From October.    I love the month October, and I love what I’ve written so far.  I’ve been reading such books as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Octavian Nothing  and my descriptive writing has just increased in descriptive ten fold. Well, I just went to the neighbours a little while ago and fed the cat and popped the little kitty a purple pill because she had been bitten by something and needs meds, poor thing.  Well, the couple down the road want me to babysit for them tomorrow morning, but I’m really tired of their short notice requests for my services.  I mean, the kids are fine, loud, ADD and hyperactive, but… fine.  The thing is, I like my air conditioning and a rest at least once and hour when I’m looking after kids.  But with kids it’s up and go for hours on end. But then again… money :).

Today I watched some telly with my mum, and we spent over an hour complaining about all the stupid medical mistakes they made in the show Royal Pains.  The show is pure drama, not medical, it’s dumb.   So we laughed at the stupid drama of it, and the CSI: Miami feel of the whole thing.  Then we watched Addicted to Beauty and laughed at all the plastic surgery hags.  They all have the same face!  Here, take a look at one of the most well known cases of SHD (Surgery Hag Disease).

 

Janice Dickinson was pretty once!  Can you believe it!  She had beautiful, full lips, flawless skin, gorgeous eyes and a great body.  Now, she has immovable duck bill lips, stretched out forehead, huge cheek bones, and two collagen filled balls on her chest.  Now, does she actually look younger?  No, not at all, in fact, she looks old and nasty and plastic.  Plastic surgery is a curse that is found in the same places as palm trees, beaches  and celebrities. 

In other news, I just went over to go check on the neighbours cat, she’s fine, and adorable.  She’s loud though, wont stop meowing for a second.  Hmmm, I’m going to figure out another inventive use for Firm Tofu now.  I did a stir fry the other day, now it’s time for some other protein filled snack.  :)

Hi!  It’s my cat, Kaspyrs, birthday today!  He’s a gorgeous 3 year old Ragdoll Birman kitty, and I love him!  I stayed up late last night and still didn’t find time to write in my diary, ops.  I’m listening to this amazing song called Day Old Hate by City and Colour.  Beautiful song, seriously, i love this band so much.  Check out this scam that I was sent:  (Click the picture to see it bigger).

It made me laugh out loud.  It’s seriously stupid, but funny.  i downloaded some amazingly amazing songs the other day, and I woe up, went downstairs, plugged my iPod (as crappy as it is) into my stereo and started bouncing around and cleaning the house.  I did a poop ton of laundry, dishes, hoovered and other stuff.  :P  And now I really want to make some food, I have some Tofu in the refrigerator, waiting to be cut up, marinated and popped in a stir-fry.  Maybe with green beans, brown long grain rice, various vegetables.  I realise now that people would rather read shorter, sweeter posts, so, if this applies to you, today is your lucky day.

Because some mean people like to chase after poor little girls and pick them up against their will and carry them over to their accomplice with the hose.  Grrrrrrrr!  It was a lot of fun though.  I’m in a really good mood right now, and seeing my gorgeous desktop background just makes me even happier.  I’m really hungry though, so I think I’m going to go and fetch me a well deserved snack!  Actually a meal, that would be nice… mmm, veggie burger. Alright, I’ll be back soon, alright?!  Okay, I’m back, and I’m sitting here with a yummy veggie burger, with ginger and spices.  With hot sauce and a glass of cold vanilla soy milk.  Perfection.  I’m so happy I got paid today, and I’m working again tomorrow at around 6:45am, I know it’s early, but that just means more money.  Alright, I need to go and eat this food, bye!

Hey! I had a pretty good day today, I woke up at 6:30am, took my time, and then made my way to the house down the street where I babysit. They originally wanted me to do 14 hours. but they got off work early, so I ended up working more like 6 hours. But tomorrow, I have to get there at 8:30 and be there for a long, long, long time. God bless hourly rates. They're paying me this Friday and I am sooo excited! If ou are reading this and it's unformatted, I am sorry, my mum is on the computer right now, looking at lovely houses in Twickenham (where we used to live) and gawking at the amazing pools, roof terraces and such. But as usual, I will fix it later.

  I'm going to have to blog early tomorrow morning because I have to babysit, and might not have access to a computer all day. You see, they don't have a computer, internet, air conditioning or much else. It really makes me appreciate things like air conditioning, new furniture, laptops, TVs, stereo systems, iPods and everything else. The kids have hand-me-downs waiting in a trunk fir them up till the age of 14! And I was complaining about not being able to go the Urban Outfitters and buy some more useless stuff. Sigh. Well, I hope they don't want me to look after the kids on Wednesday, because David and I are planning to hang out and mess around on his new Mac Book! I love Mac Books. I'm a Mac at heart, and I dearly miss our OSX in England. it was pretty hot today, and humid too! But I sort of like the heat, I like it a lot more than the cold! I HATE winter!

Hello there! I know, I know, yucky unformatted post. That only means one thing, I don't have access to the laptop, God bless my OX. Well, I just had a shower with a hot oil conditioning treatment for my hair and a brown sugar body scrub. I feel invigorated. We went shopping today, and spend hundreds of dollars (over 400) on groceries. Wow, we sure can shop! So we are now stocked up for the next hundred years. And if a war were to occur right outside, we'd have enough tinned food to last us. I am VERY tired right now because I was woken up every hour last night. And so, seeing as I have to wake up at 7am tomorrow, I am going to go to bed soon. But tomorrow, I promise you a beautiful post, much longer than this one. 

{ GOODNIGHT!!! ; Laura xx ♥ }

Ahhh!  Sleepover at Hannah’s grandma’s house!  Our first sleepover together, which is really odd considering the fact that we have known each other for so long!  But we indulged on vegan food and had pretty much an awesome time together, but, of course, I wouldn’t expect any less!  I’m listening to some awesome music right now, Joey would appreciate it.  Speaking of, I need to decipher a plan to  go to Joeys house, because, since ma mere’s fab news, we’ll all be going to the cottage this weekend.  This isn’t a bad thing, well, it sort of is, because i made semi-plans with Joey to hang out and watch Father Ted episodes with Wheat Thins and gourmet coffee.  Hmm, this is also going to be a rather short entry, because I have to leave the house soon.  I’ve been fairly bust lately so the formatting of all these posts has sort of gone down hill.  That’s another reason why Tumblr is the way to go!  Automatic formatting.  And instead of using lyrics and  such as titles, I'll just post whatever I want, and the quotes, conversations and whatever, will automatically be formatted as I please, in a loverly clean, girly design.  Oh, my mother is calling me, so that’s my queue to go, and so I shall have to get my stuff and go.  Once again, like every other mini trip I take, I will fix up all this posting when I get back.  Bye!

Hiya!  Well, I went for a jog today and then came home (a smidgen late, sorry mum) and took a shower.   Then my mum came home and wasn’t pissed off at me for getting home late, because, well, I don’t want to post my life on here (even though I pretty much have), but let’s just say, that she is now much happier considering work.  So I’m sitting here drinking yummy grapefruit juice and eating Bruscette alle olive! This shows the brain of a patient with MS, multiple sclerosis.  Someone in my family was diagnosed with this recently and everyone has been very concerned and scared.  I have read countless pamphlets, leaflets and informational booklets.  Some have scared me, others reassured me, and the rest confused me further.  It’s such a complicated matter, that I refuse to blog my feelings out.  So I shall leave this post short and sweet.  :)

Hello there!  I woke up this morning with immediate Twitter-Rage.  Argh!  Stupid Twitter, I hate it for so many reasons, but I love it too.  But I don’t think I will be using it as often as I was.  But maybe, this is a good thing.  It will help me get over my twisted ways of communication.  It’s  not healthy at all!

this guy some really amazing work.  I think you should check it out!  Click on the picture or the link below.  I’m going swimming today, and then we’re throwing a birthday party for my younger brothers.  (Lucky kids get a birthday week.)  So they had presents yesterday, swimming, party and more presents today, and Friday they go up north.  Oh to be eight again.  My birthday wasn’t nearly as eventful.  I just did what normal people do most days of summer, go out with friends, see a movie, hang out downtown and go home.  Not very interesting, I know.  I didn’t even have a birthday cake on my birthday, oh and my grandma came over the next day with a few presents stating:

I forgot it was your birthday, but it’s your mothers fault because she didn’t call to remind me.

Excuse me Grandma!?  Apparently she can remember my brother’s birthday, Obamas birthday, her own birthday, but not my birthday, oh so confusing.  Whatever, I’m wayyyy over that though, I mean, my birthday was in the beginning of June!  Just, having more birthdays coming up reminded me of mine.  Well, I have to do some cleaning up before I leave, so, bye!

So that's what those hammock type thing on the for of tents are for….lol.

Another cute cat related video for you today.  I was just on www.cuteoverload.com and this shoed up, and, well, I couldn’t help myself.  Ooooh, i got a Tumblr account. (If I haven’t told you already), but I’m not going to use it until school starts up again.  I started this summer blog with Hannah, and I’m going to finish it.  Wow, I’m making vegetarian enchiladas and they are really spicy, yum!!  But the sauce I’ve made to put over the top is from a sweeter pepper and hot sauce.  I’m just waiting for the oven to heat up do I an pop them in and bake them.  They are going to be yummy!  My grandma gave me this book called The Soloist and it’s actually really good.  I think anyone who needs for summer reading should give it a try.Also, considering my KFC protest, if anyone has some good ideas for a chant we could use, that would be cool.  Just comment down at the bottom of this post.  (click the word comments).  Now, I would love to stay and chat but I have to finish making food, go for a run, read and draw.  Oh, and I started a new diary the night before last.  It’s looking pretty and amazing.  :)  I love starting new things; new notebooks, new diaries, new blogs, new sites.  It’s just fresh and clean and…. lovely.  Oh wow, after I post this post, it will be the 87th post I’ve made  (But it will be the 93rd post including Hannah’s).  Which means…. we started this blog about 88 days ago (because the first post isn’t listed on my blog editor as I posted it at school, oh that means, I have done 88!).  Well, I really do have to get going now!

Brightened you day a bit, no?  Well, today I decided that I’d post a video instead of a picture form Flickr.  Wow, I started writing this and then walked away form it for 4 hours!!!  Wow.  Well, I am planning a protest/demonstration against KFC in September.  Peta2.com is sending me a big ol’ supply kit with signs etc.  I’ve already got 4 conformations and I just announced it 6 minutes ago!  I have a feeling this will be fun!  One of my friends offered to dress up in a chicken suit or something of the kind.  So we will protest against scalded alive  birds who live horrible lives.  Roll clip….jay kay.  Those are too gruesome for our blog thanks.  There will be petitions, costumes, signs, flies and chants!  I can’t wait!  I have a feeling that the animal rights club shall be awesome this year!  More recognition, more protests, more members and more food!  Can I get a high five?  Ha-ha, thanks.  ;)

Four words: Vegan Coconut Cream Pie.  Amazing.  My mum just now got back form her one day holiday to Clifford Lake and she brought me back a huge slice of vegan pie from the Clifford Lake Hotel.  It’s really amazing, it has so much coconut in it!  And I’m not a really but coconut fan but this pie just made my taste buds very, very happy.  Why have I been talking about food so much these past few posts?!  Maybe because these past few days have been filled with hours of babysitting, in which I’ve submerged myself in some good old Food Network.    Isn’t that kitty adorable?  Well, I think so, I love it’s eyes, how one is half closed, so cute.  I’m having a really good day today, I don’t know why, but I am, and it’s really nice :).  I was thinking about Tumblr again last night.  I want to get one, but I’ll miss using this blog editor… unless…. hmmm, I may be able to use it for Tumblr too.  We’ll find out.  But if I can’t, then I might stick to Blogger, just maybe.  Stefan is off playing a show today, yay!  And my mum has to wake up in 10 minutes to go to work.  so, again, I will be babysitting.  Story of my life. I need to babysit for some money, soon!!  D’accord, I shall go now, and figure out what to do about my blog predicament. Lots of love!

Shalom!  Today my mum and her friend Robin left to go the the cottage up north.  Yawn, I had to do about 5 laundry baskets of laundry this morning, and now I have to fold it all… oh boy.  Well, I’m going to procrastinate and write a blog post instead. Stefan is going on another Paramore listening hour, or two.  Hallelujah is playing for about the fiftieth time this week, seriously, he can’t get enough of that song.  At least he’s just listening to it and playing FIFA on the PS2 and not faux-drumming along to it on the Rock Band drum kit.  That’s always a pain in the neck, especially his use of the bass pedal, it stomps so loudly!  Oh wow, he’s playing some other music now.  Magic.  But it’s still pop punky stuff, I guess today is national Pop Punk Appreciation day according to Stefan.   Well, I’m not doing anything today aside from more laundry (why do I have so many brothers?! Why?!) and babysitting.  My mum went out to get coffee while I packed her bags, and I thought she was going to Starbucks, so I told her to get my favourite summertime order.   Grande single two pump sugar free vanilla soy iced white chocolate mocha with whip and caramel sauce. (Yes, it’s more sugar than coffee, but it’s the best thing I’ve had from them that contains coffee at all :) ). But she actually went to Biggby Coffee this is what happened:

Mum: Could I have a medium teddy bear, and a large black coffee.  Also could I have a Grande single two pump sugar free vanilla soy iced white chocolate mocha with whip and caramel sauce?

Barista: Yep, yep…. wait, what?

Mum: Grande.. umm, medium… single shot with two pump sugar free vanilla syrup, soy milk, iced white chocolate mocha with whip  cream and caramel sauce over it.

Barista: Two pump? :S

Mum: Two squirts of vanilla in it…

Barista: Ohhh!  Wow, you like your coffee intricate.

Mum:  It’s for my daughter…

Barista: Oh, wow, New Yorker?

Mum: Londoner ;)

Barista: Ohhh!  Explains everything.  Hope it’s up to par!

Yeah, my order gave the poor Biggby’s “Barista” a hard time, it was good training for her though.  It was good, great actually, but Starbucks does it soooo much better.  I have an idea!  You should leave me a comment on this post with your coffee orders form Starbucks, Biggby’s, god, even Speedway if ya want!  I’d love to know what everyone indulges in considering the coffee/tea world.  xoxoxo
