First of all, I went to Starbucks three times today...Oh shoot I'm in love with it. I know it's more tasteful to be a local coffee supporter, but I am absolutely the biggest fan of the franchise that is single handily charging way to much for one cup of coffee. I'm afraid that will most likely remain constant.
A few weeks ago (months ago?) one of the girlfriends suggested the sweetest coconut chewy chocolate ever from Russel Stover. I really didn't think twice about it before today.
So Leslie, this is for you. On my last Starbucks run I stopped by Russell Stover in Utica. I picked up some of it, ate it and...didn't really love it but hated it. It was too too too too sweet for me to handle. & it didn't melt very fast. I'm not a chewer of chocolate, AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD (myself) we (I) let it melt.
Then, I crossed over to a garden show that was being torn down. I got sad that I wasted all the time at Russell Stover (Thanks Alot Les) and then saw a greenhouse and got over the silent rant in my head.
Sometimes (most times) when I'm by myself, I really don't do a whole lot but people watch. It's creepy, I'm creepy. I walked around the park and watched all the prom girl jump in the air in unison for pictures. I never went to prom. I never jumped in the air (kidding).
And then I walked into all the top dollar shops and got overwhelmed by the prices. Also, I felt about as cute as a homeless puppy (puppy?) so then I got in my car and drove back to my room.
Well, I'm locked out, sitting in the alcove blogging, trying to talk myself into stopping & going all the way back out to my car to get my key (did you know you burn 167654 extra calories when you walk to the upper lot from claudius)
I really loved today. May there always be 5 extra lbs of chocolate, cookies and Starbucks, garden shows, and vintage shops waiting for me, should I wish to recreate it.
