i was so excited today...

i have been missing coffee since i gave it up pre-op a few months ago.  i had already decided that i was not going to introduce caffeine back into my diet because i'm happy to be fully decaffeinated now.  but i sooooo miss the taste of coffee.

well, i decided i was going to treat myself to just little bit of decaff today and i walked to starbucks with my friend.

i left with a decaffeinated latte made with soy milk, sugar free vanilla extract and a scoop of whey protein!

it was sooooo good!!  it was so nice to feel like i had a special treat!!

Hi Pam!!!

That's great!!  Sometimes, it's the little things that make us feel good!!  I'm just sorry SB doesn't have more of a variety when it comes to their s/f syrups, I'm about vanilla and hazelnutted out!!

Tia

uh - aren't you sequestered???

I escaped!! LOL!!!  Nope, not a sequestered jury - thank God!!!  Very interesting case, though, it was a murder trial involving the MS-13 gang - big on L.A., then Herndon, VA, now moving into the D.C. suburbs.

The victims, both under 25, were stabbed 150 times and 100 times - the pictures were pretty horrific.  The defendant is 24.

I couldn't deliberate since I was an alternate, but the judge's law clerk called me yesterday and let me know that after deliberating for 3 hours, the jury came back with a decision of guilty for both first degree murders.  

What a waste!!  I'm glad to be done, but it was quite the experience!!!

Hugs,

HIJACK!  I see you online!!!  You at Gman's?

Hey Pamela!!!  I know that was a real treat for you.  I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I got a s/f cinnamon dolce iced latte today, with protein, it was great! They don't know how to mix the protein, but I just mix like mad after I get it and it turns out great. I can't wait for the holidays, when they bring their gingerbread back out. Last year that had s/f gingerbread.

ooo... sugar free gingerbread sounds like the hot diggity!

and tia... yes.. i needed it.  99% of the time, i'm good with the surgery, happy with the results, no buyer's remorse.  but once in a while, i just long to feel "normal" again.  this really satisfied one of those moments!
