Venti Quad upside down iced caramel macchiato. And since Sunday was my birthday it was free!
My next couple Starbucks visits will be free due to gift cards and free reward drink (every thirteenth beverage free. Its probably not healthy how fast I seem to earn them). Oh the perks of being a gold card holder!
As you may have gathered from the above paragraph, I am, once again, sitting at the little window table in Starbucks, ear-buds plugged in, Pandora playing a Mumford and Sons station, sipping away on my highly caffeinated deliciousness of an iced caramel. There is some major lightening going on outside, and I have the perfect view. They have been predicting thunderstorms for everyday this week, beginning on Sunday. We have had absolutely gorgeous weather everyday this week, hardly a cloud in the sky. Today I suppose it finally decided to make good on the threats. I don't mind. I am quite partial to a good storm. Not to mention we kind of need the rain. Things were getting pretty dry. Last Friday the field behind our house caught on fire, if that's any indication of how dry things are. Took the fire department all day to get it out, and I was even stopped on my way home from work by the cops to make sure I wouldn't be driving by it. (the fire was happening about 1/4 a mile down the road from us). I don't recall ever seeing any part of our road barricaded, but Friday the cops were stopping every car. It didn't do too much damage though (all though the heat did seem to scorch some of the trees at the line where the field meets the woods, THAT would have been a disaster if the woods went up in flames!) and yesterday the farmer who rents that field was out plowing.
Today has been a good day for getting things done. This morning (after sleeping in a little, its my day off!) I went and picked up chicken feed and made inquiries about pig feed for my younger brother and sister, who are raising pigs for 4-H this year, I got the rest of my taxes figured out and dropped off my forms and check at the post office, Returned library books...I still have to run to the bank and deposit my pay check and make a trip to a running store (they specifically sell running gear. Shoes, clothes, braces, nutrition etc) to pick up some GU (energy gel for runners, I LOVE it!) and then off to church to get things ready for youth group tonight. Full day, but a relaxing one as well.
So after this very ADD-ish post (probably from my 4 shots of espresso), I should buckle down and get to work on my Ukrainian studies. I'm attempting to learn Ukrainian. Its easy to read, I just don't have any idea as to what on earth I am reading, even If I can pronounce it!
