Well good afternoon!
I've come to really enjoy our little chats over various drinks because sadly I don't get to do that with many of you in person anymore and I feel like we cover a lot of ground this way.. or at least I do, I suppose I don't learn much about whats going on with you but feel free to tell me in the comments.
I feel like I am going to regret choosing a drink with such a long name but I know you will all be shocked to find out I am just not a pumpkin spice latte lover. I am feeling incredibly over Starbucks lack of fall drinks so I am going with a oldie but a goodie.
If we were having a chai tea latte... you may actually be drinking something different, such as the above mentioned pumpkin spice latte.. I am OK with that.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that today's high is 69 degrees and it is downright glorious!! I am so excited for fall weather, I just want to go home right now and get all my sweaters and scarves. Sadly tomorrow its back up to 75.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you there were a lot of upsets in football this weekend but I am still in the running to win the pool this week which is good, lets all hope the Colts win tonight!
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that I was a little irked with Jason yesterday as he INSISTED on trying to stream the game yesterday because they weren't playing it on TV (apparently people really care about the Redskins) and the quality was super crappy.. like I couldn't even see the names on the jerseys, then it kept cutting out and alerting us that we had a virus on the computer.. it was SUPER annoying. We should have just went out.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would suggest our next meeting be at Einstein Brothers Bagels because it may just be my favorite place ever. Lindsey and I went with Ava and Colton this morning because on Mondays you can get a 13 bagels for $6.00.. AMAZING! Its debatable which is better, their bagels or cream cheese! If you happen to have one around you, I highly recommend making a trip.. their sandwiches are delicious as well.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that Jason and I have taken up playing tennis a couple of nights a week and although I wouldn't say that either of us are good we are really enjoying it. I am trying to convince Jason I need a tennis outfit, no not a skirt and polo but either way he isn't on board. Men totally don't understand fashion.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would ask how things are with you??
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you I have been having a really hard time finding topics of substance to blog about, I guess I have things I want to talk about but I always worry about others interpretation or how people may take it.. so I change my mind.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that now that its not boiling hot outside every single second of every day we are making good use of the sun roof in the truck and its making me fall a little more in love with the truck!
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that I think they sold our old truck and we are both extremely sad about it. Funny story though, Jason mentioned that it was gone when he went to Home Depot last week and then Lindsey mentioned it as well because they too were checking when they drove by. Its a communal sadness basically haha.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you I want buffalo chicken.. because I always want buffalo chicken but I am trying to refrain because I think Jason is getting sick of it and I really want to avoid that.
If we were having a chai tea latte... (this may not apply to some of you) I would tell you that I got new a bra from Aerie and I am telling you the quality may be better than Victoria Secret, shocking I know but I love it!
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that the cool weather has put me in the mood to bake up a storm and my grocery list currently has all the ingredients for my favorite banana bread.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that I feel that pumpkin stuff is on steroids this year. So far I have seen but is not limited to... Pumpkin spice M&Ms, Pumpkin spice mini wheats, pumpkin fiber one bars, pumpkin cake & frosting, pumpkin cream cheese cookies, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin tea, candles, air fresheners, muffins of all pumpkin variety, pumpkin marshmallows, and the list goes on and on and on! Its nuts!
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that I have been desperately searching for pecan pie M&Ms and I cannot find them anywhere. I am going to order them online if I haven't come across them in a week.
If we were having a chai tea latte... and talking about treats I would tell you that Utz came out with dill pickle chips and they are rufffles too!! WINNING! (If you didn't know dill pickle chips are a Canadian thing).
If we were having chai tea latte... I would tell you that our laptop is basically junk at this point. We have taken it in a million times at this point and it doesn't get any faster and now its telling us to get a new battery because this one is junk! We have a new one at the house so hopefully that will help until it actually dies and we have to buy a new one. Isn't it crazy the money we spend on a computers and you get maybe 2 years out of them. I know Mac's are different but Jason refuses to get one and I have given up on that argument!
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that I have run out of books to read and for some reason the ones my mom is sending me wont go on my Nook or our tablet so I am screwed. However I did find a book store around here so I suppose I will have to hit it up soon.
If we were having a chai tea latte... I would tell you that I have laundry to do, floors to wash and a few other things to do so as much as I am thoroughly enjoying your company I should probably run!
Oh how I miss face to face time with so many of you! I hope you all had a great weekend and are enjoy the beautiful weather I hope you guys are all getting as well!
You would be fun to meet with for coffee or chai tea lattes or whatever! Too bad I don't see it happening! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnything is possible Cathy!! You can always come visit! I don't see us coming to Toronto anytime soon but if you are looking for a vacation!

ReplyDelete-And I would commiserate, and explain that I'm flip-flopping on making my blog more public than it is. That is, it's not a private blog just now, but I don't exactly advertise it so people in the district I'm in can't read it: this means I can be a bit more unguarded in what I say. But then again, maybe I should just be myself and let the chips fall where they may.
"If we were having a chai tea latte... (this may not apply to some of you) I would tell you that I got new a bra from Aerie and I am telling you the quality may be better than Victoria Secret, shocking I know but I love it!"
- And I would probably not react: My home growing up was mostly my mother and three sisters (Dad worked away a lot), so frankly ladies underwear was just one more bit of laundry.

- And I would note that here in Tatura there are two second hand stores run by charities that have good book selections. I'd offer to keep an eye out for anything you might like and post it over :)
I am starting to feel that way Steve, about my blog! This is my space and although I have the most respect for my readers sometimes I think its important to say what you feel and possibly open things up for debate. I never want to offend anyone but we are all different and have different opinions which is a good thing in my opinion.
DeleteI appreciate the offer to keep an eye out for books! I am really into the books written by soldiers, specifically Navy Seals. I would like to read more by Marcus Luttrell as well as Brandon Webb. You can see more of his books on his website.. I will put the link below! I read the Red Circle and loved it, so much information!!

I have been looking for them in stores but I think I will have to order them online! I like to get those ones in paperback because Jason reads them after I do and wouldn't do so I don't believe if it was on my Nook!
I always love to hear what you have been reading as well.
All good: I need to do another book-themed post sometime soon. Military themed books are indeed pretty popular here, although they tend to be by former members of the Special Air Service or the Royal Marines. Anyway, if something presents itself I'll be sure to snap it up for you :)
