LOOK! It's back!

Pumpkin Spice Latte
a delicious blend of pumpkin and traditional fall spice flavors combined with our signature espresso and freshly steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices.

I heart Pumpkin Spice Lattes. A lot.

And I was having a sad, bummer of a morning. It completely brightened my day.

Lauren's thoughts on...

...Ethan
Ethan had his 2 year check-up today. Shots are, for me, the hardest thing about visiting the doctor. I know that for some shots are a walk in the park compared to what their child has been through. NOT. ME. The hardest thing about today was he knew it was coming. The nurse walked in and he said, “No.” I laid him on the table and in the most pitiful voice he said, “No Mama! Hold you, hold you!” It broke my heart. But in 5 seconds he forgot that it hurt and was more concerned with the band-aids on his leg.

...the Starbucks drive-thru
It’s 6:45am. I specifically picked a Starbucks with a drive-thru to avoid having to get out of my car and go inside. Because that would take- you know...a whole extra 3 minutes. I pulled around and there were two cars in front of me. Sitting. Waiting. For what? I mean, does she really not know what to order? Here is a hint people. If you are not a regular of Starbucks, I suggest ordering inside. There is a much bigger selection than is shown on the drive-thru menu and I don’t like waiting for you to make up your mind. This is merely a suggestion.

...Grey’s Anatomy
If you have not watched last night’s episode you may not want to read this. I love that Meredith took her mom to work. In a ziploc. And spilled her. I liked McSteamy in this episode. His face when that boy said, “Daddy?” Loved it. Then helping a boy with no ears. Callie and Cristina laughing during surgery. I was rollin’. "SydneyTalksAlot" following around McDreamy. That woman would drive me crazy. Ummm...did he saw off his leg? Seriously? I also think Meredith found the perfect place for her mom to rest. Oh Goodness.

...The Office
I MISSED IT! Have no fear. I’ll watch it online. The World Series in underway and took a spot on the DVR.

...Chipotle
If you have never been to a Chipotle restaurant you are MISSING. OUT. It opened today and I. AM. THRILLED.

...Politics
Yeah, right! Do ya’ll know me? Like I have anything to say about politics. I leave that to my sister.

Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy this weather!

Complete randomness

This post is random today. Consider yourself warned.

Lacey's wedding was Saturday. It is over and I am exhausted. At some point I'll post about the details and how adorable Ethan was in his little tux. However, I am waiting until I have pictures.

The cast of The Office has put together some fake PSA's. For a guaranteed laugh, click here.

We have a game scheduled tonight. Part of me is hoping for a down pour rain so I can cancel it.

McDonald's Iced Vanilla Coffee as NOTHING on Starbucks. It's the cold hard truth. But it was free today, so I saved 4 bucks.

AND...speaking of Starbucks. I have the best new drink for you to order. It is a iced white chocolate mocha with a pump of cinnamon dolce. It's a snickerdoodle cookie liquefied and heavenly. Mmmm.... Go now!

AHHHHH!

Work is a whirlwind today and I need a short break.

I went with my sister and grandmother yesterday to David's Bridal to try on my dress. Lacey is getting married in September and I am her matron-of-honor. All I can say is, "Praise Jesus, Lacey has taste." I just wish she was decisive. I love my sister but she can't make a decision to save her life.

I have tried to explain to her that this is her day. Not mine. Not mom's. Just hers. If she decides that her colors are orange and yellow, I'll wear it with a smile. Thankfully, she decided on this clover color.

This is the second gown she has picked. The first was two-pieces, in cream and crimson or was that crimson and cream? (she couldn't decide) Regardless, the dresses are now ordered. There is no turning back.

Hopefully.

On the homefront, Ethan woke up entirely too early this morning at 6:00am. I refused to arise so we laid in bed for another hour until Brian got home from work. The look on his face when he heard the garage door open was priceless. He was laying still and heard the hum of the door. He sat up so quickly with wide eyes and mouth opened, he gasped and said, "YAY!"

Who can resist that? We got up and I made breakfast. I scrambled to get ready for work and left in time to grab Starbucks. A girl's gotta have her coffee! Now I'm slammed at work, desk piled high.

So back to work for me. Happy Tuesday!
