Starbucks

Tonight's date-night with myself!  My husband is working and I refuse to pass up a night out from the kids; after-all I am entitled to have some fun!

Since I am watching my calories, I thought it would be best to arm myself with sushi rather then a bowl of penne vodka, although the person deep down in my body was screaming for it.    I had my sushi, it was awesome, however, it would have been better with wine, but New Jersey sucks with their liquor laws.  Next time BYOB!

Strolling through town, I stopped at Starbucks.  I brought the computer, the work folder, the pen and now to finish my dinner off, I needed a nice hot beverage - my yummy Vanilla Latte!  I walked in, thrilled that there was only one person in front of me.  

I don't like to talk bad about anyone, even if I can't stand the sight of you, however, tonight there was a little eye rolling (sort of like Anastasia Steele), however, I wasn't doing this to be punished.  In my best effort to keep my Brooklyn attitude tame I  had to use the one thing that would say more then words - rolling eyes.

The middle-age man standing in front of me/in front of the food window is speaking to the Barista over and over about the donut he wants.  I want that donut, that one, the one where your thumb is, closest to you!  For heavens sake, what's the difference?  Does it look different then the rest?  Is the coloring better?  WTF!  It seriously took ten-minutes for this man to finally get the donut he was preaching about.  I would have preferred to wait on line with a dozen people, then deal with this distraught middle-aged wacko!  I was relieved to haven gotten through that without ever opening my mouth - momma would be proud!

As I am waiting for my ever-so-delicious- coffee, I can hear the Baristas talking about how twice in the few minutes I am there that people were stealing other peoples drink!  HELLO!  How does this happen?  Where are the people who ordered their drink?  Why are they taking their drinks?  I don't understand that their is actual theft going on at Starbucks and it has nothing to do with the employees!

There was major action at Starbucks tonight, who would have thought you can see so much that you actually have to blog about it!

How Do I Do This

Is this thing on?  HELLO? 

OK, so I think I created a blog.  I named it - The Humbled Homemaker, I even added a taste of Italian "la casalinga umiliato".  I can turn a computer on, make an airplane out of paper, I could make a really slamming Bolognese Sauce, but when it comes to creating a blog and adding all these gadgets, colors and layouts I think I suck at it, but since you have nothing better to do then ready this -- you be the judge! : )

Time and I are constantly at a relay race with each other; I try to add hours to the 24 hour time period that we are allotted, but then time seriously just cuts me off basically telling me that you must cram in your life's "to do" in this time slot.  It sucks, but you have no choice.    So today, as I create my first post time is actually in my mind at a stand-still because I have the house to myself, while the little ones are at camp, my hubba bubba is at work and I for once is sitting down with my legs up - RELAXING!

I know one of my friends or even family members will ask the question "why a blog?  "you have so much to say on Facebook".  As they are correct, I thought I could say so much more and really have more then 185 people read what I have to say - it's a bigger audience that will be filled with good things to say and of course nasty things to say as I write about what I feel about my life and the many journeys I take to keep it happy.  

With that said.  Enjoy!
