coffee...gotta love it!

my friends and family know, i love my coffee. there's not a time in the day that i refuse coffee. i'll drop everything for a starbucks run. one thing i love about my morning schedule is that kingston wakes up at around 7:30am and has a quick snack. he goes back in his crib and that means it's coffee time! i sip my coffee in peace, i watch some pvr'd shows, i light my candles, and i relax. it is the best way to start the day. at home i settle for brewed starbucks and vanilla creamer. it's so delicious. i try not to visit starbucks too often because i still want it to be a treat; however...i could easily visit the bux multiple times a day.

what's your order at starbucks??

if i'm going for a really good treat i always add whip to something. usually a grande, skinny, half sweet, with whip caramel macciato. i know it seems silly to get a skinny (sugar-free syrup and non-fat milk for my not-so-starbucks-savvy readers) and add whip, but in my mind it totally balances eachother out haha. if i'm being good when i order i try to stick to a skinny caramel latte, or a skinny vanilla latte....only 120 calories, and that's all from milk! sweeeeeeet!

so today is another day. and it's day-2 of my shorter days at work week! today my to-do list is massive again. i have so many little things i need to get done...mostly for the big day tomorrow...my fantastic husband's very special day! i love birthdays. i love planning birthdays. i love searching for the perfect birthday cards (kingston picks his own, i just help by paying). i love organizing cake and meals for my loved ones. my favourite part? wrapping gifts!

BACHELOR SPOILER FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T WATCHED....don't keep reading...

okay so let's talk bachelor finale. what did you think? were you surprised? i was! i wasn't surprised by his choice, but i find that season after season the bachelor always gets the viewers to believe that one person will be picked and then shockingly they pick the other one! this season wasn't that way at all. he picked the girl that he was drawn to the whole season.

emily is a stand-up woman and i give her so much credit for wanting to take things slow. i believe that if any of these bachelors/bachelorettes want things to work, they need to jump back a handful of steps and look at life, look at their relationships, and look at what their goals are in life. from there, they need to start fresh. real life isn't being swept away by a helicopter and going on crazy-cool dates with no cares in the world. life isn't easy, and neither are relationships.

what'd you think of the finale? and what do you think of ashley being the next bachelorette?

one thing is for sure, that proposal was sooo lovey. and that song??? i had tears in my eyes listening to it. it was such a perfect ending. i hope it works out for brad and emily. here it is for those that didn't get to catch it:



okay, enough rambling. i need to get my tired butt in the shower and get my day rolling. coffee is long done and if i want to enjoy a 2nd cup i better hustle!

happy tuesday to my blog readers! thanks for reading...
