Dear Starbucks,

How could you do this to me…to all of us? I wait all year round for my taste of Christmas in a red cup and this year you have FAILED ME!!!  Do you not know that eggnog is THE Christmas signature beverage?  I just want to beat you with nutmeg.  I’m in denial like so many others out there as to how you could take this off the holiday menu and put some chestnut beverage (which is probably easier to make because it comes in a syrup bottle) on the menu.  It will NEVER replace our beloved eggnog latte.  EVER.

I want to channel my inner Uncle Eddie and drink my eggnog latte and listen to Christmas music in my car on the way to work. Sadly, this year that won’t be the case.  I’ll have to find somewhere else that makes an eggnog latte.  An eggnog latte that is not available on every other exit off the freeway.  Boo on you Starbucks!!!  Bah humbug!!! 

You are like the green mermaid that stole Christmas from everyone. Every eggnog lover out there is revolting and envying all their friends on the Pacific coast (where you have decided to sell the eggnog latte to THEM!)  Yes, I live in another part of the country.  Does that mean I’m not worthy of an eggnog latte?

I’ll just sit back and watch this season while everyone posts their eggnog lattes on Instagram and Facebook shoving it my face because I can’t have one! I say #bringbackeggnoglattes

You took away my Christmas in a red cup Starbucks. I know this is trivial and some would say #firstworldproblems

I would have to agree with you…but seriously??? WHY?  There was absolutely no reason to pull it from the menu when so many people out there anticipate and enjoy the eggnog latte every year.

I say to you STARBUCKS…”If you want my BUCKS this season bring my eggnog latte back!”

Or else…..

Christmas Pajama Obsessed!

Are these not the cutest Christmas jammies like EVER???  And they are only $13.99!!!

I have an odd obsession with cute Christmas jammies.  I need to go to pajama rehab.

Speaking of Christmas jammies…I ordered these from Crystal Faye and they are super cute too!  I decided to go with green because the last few years we’ve had red ones.

I love Grumpy Cat. What are your Christmas obsessions? I’ll write about my thoughts on the eggnog latte later today…in the meantime use #bringbackeggnoglattes on social media! REVOLT!!!

Trick-Or-Treat 2014

We had a pretty laid back Halloween.  Of course we always dress up where I work every year and that was fun!  This years theme was “What did you want to be when you grew up?”  There were some interesting costumes for sure!  I was an artist 🙂

Only my boss thought I was a muffin….uhm???

I went to Connor’s Halloween parade at school and after that we came home and started passing out candy.  When it got darker I ended up just throwing the bowl on the front porch and we took Connor around the neighborhood.  It’s so fun watching him every year and our neighbors are so sweet!  Nothing like a candy coma for a kiddo right?

There are certain houses that go ALL OUT decorating and we have a house like that down the street.  Everyone lines up to go to that ONE house.  Every year they get more and more decorations.  I was proud of Connor for walking up and not being afraid like he was last year.

Oh, did I mention I went to a haunted house with two of my co-workers?  Those gals are crazy!!!  We had the best time mostly because I was laughing so hard at them.  We pushed Sherry in front, I was in the middle, and Sue Ellen was in the back with the creepers following her.  I have never been to a haunted house but the reason it’s so scary is not because of the stuff in it…it’s because it’s so DARK in there!  We kept bumping into walls.  I lost a pair of earrings.  Thank God Sue Ellen didn’t lose her hearing aids!  It was quite the experience.

Best quotes of the night:

One legged haunted house dude:  “I’m going to cut off your leg!!!  I need a new leg!”

Sue Ellen:  “You don’t want mine…it’s old and tough!”

Scary old lady in haunted house:  “Hisssssssssss……”

Sherry: “You look JUST like my ex-sister in law!”

Those two had me cracking up the entire night.

Here we are before going Trick-or-Treating.  Connor was of course…..Batman.  My days of choosing costumes is O.V.E.R.

 I’ll write soon on my feeling about the eggnog latte…OMG. It can’t be true. #bringbackeggnoglattes

Halloween Parade at School

Connor’s school had the cutest Halloween parade and they invited all the parents to come.  Each class made their own costumes too!  It was so cute and of course Connor has a Batman car 🙂
