So long Summer 2009

We wrapped up the last "official week" of summer on Nantucket! The week after Labor Day is the best week to spend on Nantucket and that is exactly what we did.


A quick shot of the new signs they've put up at all the beaches, a great idea of those who are not familiar with the Island. #19 is "Surfside".

The one and only "Turkey Terrific" from Provisions of Straight Wharf. A classic Thanksgiving sandwich and normally I save this treat for our Ferry ride home but I couldn't wait and ordered one to have on the beach, the sand crunch was free of charge. It's their #1 seller!

A full ACK recap to come this week. I'm happy to jump back into the blogging world, though most of "my" readers are on Twitter so I guess I haven't really been gone at all!

I never thought I would say this but BRING ON FALL!!! I will order myself a Pumpkin Spice Latte and love it! I have already done my tote to purse change over and was happy to do so.

OHHH and what better time to start blogging again with the new fall shows about to air! Wootwoot!

Grande vs. Venti

Once in a while I will get a Caffè Latte at Starbucks. Today I got a Grande and realized there is only a 23cent difference. Now why wouldn't you get the Venti pay a little extra as it's only milk and it's good for you?

I didn't get home until about 7:45 last night, that makes for a short evening. I was on a mission to finish my Shopaholic Ties the Knot. It has taken me a long time to get through that one, I admit it was good but I feel it dragged on a bit in the middle. I was starting to get annoyed but all in all I enjoyed it. So am I right to assume Shopaholic & Sister is the next one to read? And then the baby? But I feel I might need a break from Becky Bloomwood, I read the first three in a row. I have the Lovely Bones to read but I am afraid it is going to be kind of a dark read.

Ok I started this at 9am and i've only gotten this far? Sad.....

Annoying!

So I went and got a Starbucks latte this morning and thought "i'll have it iced". I don't think i've had it iced before so adding that extra word through me off. Boy was it yummy!!!

I went and got another latter this afternoon to give me some energy for the gym later and as I was walking over there it dawned on me the last one I had was not made with skim but made with whole milk. F me. That is a difference of 100 calories and 10 grams of fat. I am so pissed. It's my own fault but it ticks me off! Only because I was in a hurry! Righttt!

Oh well, guess it would be same as having a 100 calorie cupcake pack, which actually would have tasted better!

Enough on that! It's really cold in here, I'm trying to figure something yummy for our last dinner together until next Tuesday. We had garlic cheese turkey burgers last night and pico de gallo on top of grilled chicken with cheese. Both of which were made with no help from myself. So me coming up with something is well a bit changeling! Any thoughts?

Busting up a Starbucks

I thought I'd treat myself to a latte this morning, mind you I have not had a latte/coffee in weeks. I have had my fair share of Diet Mt. Dews and Diet Cokes, but this latte is strong!

Not too much to report. I am trying to plan a trip to Milwaukee in July to look at wedding dresses with my mom and also go to a Brewers game. I have not seen the Brew Crew in forever, it would be a blast and then I could stay with my bro which is always trouble!!!!


Even though I had a super busy/long day at work yesterday I was still able to hit the gym for a really good work out and even walked home!

I am not a huge fan of the Sox having a West Coast road trip this week. I would love to be able to stay up and watch the games, but i just can't do it. Well they've lost the last two (three if you count Sunday) so it seems I'm not missing much. But you get me, right?/!

Libby knows my love for Mike Lowell and pointed out he (in her words) "just-for-mened"
his facial hair and now I think that could have been a deal breaker. I'm at a loss!

Hope you guys are having a great hump day!

Good day mate

No time to blog today, my father is flying in this afternoon and I'm trying like heck to get out of here to meet him at the airport!

That being said, I got myself a little treat at Starbucks this morning. Venti Skim Latte, the wonderful guy behind the counter asked if I would like to try a free shot, being Kimba I said "What does that mean" (said with a slight tilt of my head)...He said I'll give you the third shot of espresso free. "Free" you got it!!! Who would pass up something free, at Starbucks to less. I've had two sips and I think this is going to be a good day...I'll have NO problem getting my work done and out of here on time! This stuff is rocket fuel!


Giddy up!

Hope you guys have a great weekend, I'll be checking in at some point! :)
