I’m not cool enough for Starbucks….
I went IN to Starbucks yesterday ~ mainly because I needed to use the restroom ~ but don’t tell them that, ok? AND I really, REALLY wanted one of those Super Cool, Amazing, How-do-they-do-that Birthday Cake cake pops. I am apparently addicted. Dammit. Like I needed another addiction…
Anyhoo, I go IN to Starbucks, instead of using the Drive-thru and just ordering one Cake Pop (who does that?). I thought, “Hey, they have drinks…I’ll get a drink.”
Bwahahahahahaha. Jokes on ME!
I looked at their menu…and I posted it here for you just in case you’re not familiar with it….
Let me tell you right here….I’m a McDonald’s Girl (and PLEASE let’s not go into how unhealthy/terrible/insert McD’sBashing here…). I LOVE Sweet Tea and Egg McMuffins and little cheeseburgers and McD’s Fries.
Back to the Starbucks store….I’m in there, looking at that bodacious, giant menu with words that I can’t pronounce and thinking…all I really want is a Iced Caramel Mocha, cause I KNOW what that is (you have some ice, some caramel and some chocolate…). So I order something that looks kinda close….Iced Caramel Macchiato.
While I wait my turn, I look around and see all those tables, and people on their laptops, and think ~ this would be cool. I could come here and work and BE COOL. They all look chic and happy and like they know what they’re doing.
I get my Iced Caramel whatever and hit the door. I quickly open my bag of Cake Pop Deliciousness and take that 1st mind-blowing bite. I should savor it and eat it slowly ~ but that ain’t happening. Then I sip my Caramel Whatever…and discover it’s an expresso drink. I should mention here that I don’t really Like Coffee….
So THIS morning, I dropped Tater off at school and drove the 3 miles to McD’s, where I got my Egg McMuffin, my Large Sweet Tea and went home. Where I got out my laptop, and began to work.
I guess I’ll never be cool enough for Starbucks, but I’d much rather work in my pajama pants (yep, went thru McD’s drive thru with PJ pants on) at my kitchen table…..and from now on, I’ll just hit the drive thru next time I’m in “Town” and get one of those Cake Pop thingys…or maybe two.

I have no idea what a cake pop thingy is.I have been to Starbucks once and could not believe I couldn’t just get a ordinary regular old cup of coffee.I ended up paying $5 for an espresso that I thought was much smaller than the shots of whiskey I get at my local watering hole. needless to say I have never been back and when I do want something sweet and a cup of Joe, there’s a Dunkin Donuts not far from me. Love your blog babe

I usually go in and get a Toffee Nut Latte – decaf…it costs me $4.89. Now what the hell do that put in that that costs that much money. Blows my mind, but I do love it! Banana bread I get each time I go in for my husband. He loves it. So, I can’t get out of there without spending close to $8.00 each time.

Well. I just LOOVVVEE Starbucks so I have to disagree with you there. Love me some coffee! But my granddaughter just adores those cake pops so everytime we pass a Starbucks of course Grandma has to stop….we have tried making those cake pops…they don’t look nearly as pretty as store-bought.
As for looking cool, I wouldn’t give that another thought. How many of those kids have a blog????
Have another sweet tea!

I’ve never been “cool” and when I think I might can pull it off I usually do something like tripping, spilling or running into something/somebody! Haha. At least I’m cool enough to laugh at myself. Not sure “cool” is all it’s cracked up to be.

So with you!! Moved from SoCal to Seattle, spent 20 yrs there before settling again, in Phoenix area. Starbucks makes me crazy!! Hated being behind someone ordering coffee that had 5-10 flippin “ingredients”!! And who the hell wants to spend the day sitting there working?! In Seattle, Mommies wet there and sit and chat while their toddlers run amok . Coffee at McD’s works for me !!! You are cool because you do not sit at Starbucks!!

I am always overwhelmed with ordering at Starbucks. I don’t know what half the stuff is, and can’t pronounce the other half. I feel like I lose IQ points just staring at the menu. I usually get a strawberry frappachino. If I’m feeling fancy I’ll ask for it made with soy milk (I know there must be some special way to request that, but I just say “made with soy milk”). My kids love the cake pops and I love the pecan tarts (which cost approximately $1 per each of its four bites).
