Gifted


My lovely friend J gifted me with the most awesome present this week!!! Now here comes the part of the story where the crazy comes out! You all know that I love coffee, I have blogged about it many times. But I also love the Starbucks Passion Tea. My SIL made me try one a couple of years ago and it quickly became my favorite drink in the spring and summer. I even have some tea so that I can make a quick batch at home!


So as I started my new found calorie counting I have been monitoring my intake of water, I drink a lot of water! I love ice cold water. I like a bunch of ice and some water that I just keep refilling over and over! But my new secret crazy is drinking my water out of my leftover venti passion tea cups. I know that I am drinking 20oz with each cup and then when I make my passion tea at home I feel like I went to starbucks, but just saved myself $2.15.


So last week when my friend came to pick up her kids I offered her freshly baked cookies and a cup of passion tea (in a starbucks cup). She laughed at me and I told her that now she was seeing the real me! On monday I got a very excited call from J asking me if I liked suprises or anticipation........then she told me that she bought me this new cup from Starbucks. A double walled plastic cup just like their passion tea cups! The lid screws on and it has a cool plastic straw!


Seriously this cup ROCKS! it does not sweat and it is so stinkin cute! I checked out our starbucks in town and they are completely sold out. I am telling you Starbucks is genius!


So thank u J for the awesome gift. you are so good to me and you are an awesome friend!

Passion tea is my favorite. It just HAS to taste better at home in one of those cups!!! :) I love getting ice water from there, too. They have some good ice!! When I was pregnant, I was totally into drinking water as fast as I could so that way I could crunch the slightly melted ice. I used to ask Samuel to get me ice water from there because I could swear that the ice tasted better there...See you aren't the only weird one:)
