Mocha, Mocha -- How I Love (And Need) Thee

At least four-out-of-five weekday mornings I anxiously anticipating getting to work -- on the other side of town after my morning hustle & bustle of dropping off the kids, rushing to get parking, and taking two crowded metro trains -- in order to settle-in and head downstairs for my morning ritual, a Grande Skim Mocha with Whip from Starbucks.  Fortunately, my love of Starbucks mocha's is well-known to those around me and I received a generous amount of Starbucks gift cards during the holidays.  So my morning RUSH has technically been FREE ever since December.  But today was the last of the freebies.  I sadly swiped my last gift card and even had to come out of pocket with $2 this morning.  But it was sooooo worth it.  After a grueling kickboxing class last night and not getting to bed until after midnight I needed that extra pick-me-up to make it through the morning.  THANK YOU Starbucks for such a tasty drink that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy in the mornings!

I love Starbucks! You should try the Nonfat Caramel Macchiato...(my drink of choice)...yum! Makes me want to go and get one right now but nope, counting WW points and I am having coffee later today with a friend. I must hold out! :)

@Tammy Yummmm-o, that sounds so good. I have such a hard time figuring out what all the different drinks are with the mochas, lattes, macchiatos, etc. But I will definitely try that one. So, you're doing WW -- let me know how it goes. I tried it once in the past and it does work. Good luck!
