    Mmmm... Ritter. I do love Ritter.

    I was at Starbucks this morning - must have missed Sneezy though! :)

    Glad you're still with us!

    No Sneezy, hmmm, maybe they ran out of coffee and had to brew another pot.:p

    The Ritter was gone in five minutes flat, I had to eat it in the bathroom so I wouldn't have to share with the kids, now I feel guilt. Maybe I'll head to Starbucks on the way back from picking my daughter up from school. Now I have something to look forward to.:)

    I was definitely there this morning... you must have missed me as I was in the back laying flat on the counter underneath the brewing pot. It's a new delivery system I'm working on... bypass the cup. Straight from the pot.

    LOL! Verrrry nice. Great mental picture too... and very appealing. I could go for that!

    Got a "complimentary" double shot today... shot it and am still buzzing. Mmmmm... Good stuff! :)

    I'm back. Starbucks is my favorite place. Our Starbucks is connected to the book store so I get the best of both worlds. I told them to Grande surprise me, and they sure did, MMMMMM. I feel like I could climb Everest right now, I'm just not looking forward to crashing from this caffeine high. How are my fellow addicts doing?

    I have trouble saying Venti out loud without laughing hysterically. If I hand them a note would they think it's a stick up?

    Did Sneezy drown while lying under the brewing pot? Sneezy, I'm worried, are you okay?

    Still breathin.

    Sadly, no more coffee for me for now... in between classes.

    Perhaps we should move this thread to "addictions"?

    The sad thing is that all 78 of them made sense to me. At first I was wondering what this had to do with drinking coffee, I thought that everyone did these things. Coffee, apparently I drink too much of it. Oh well, you only live once, right?

    Have we found Sneezy yet? Maybe it was time for another Starbucks run.

    If I won the lottery I would start a trust fund for my kids. Buy property and of course a car and a truck for my husband get everything that I believe I need. Give my family (mom brother and sister) some. Put a little away for my husband and I for our SO CALLED GOLDEN YEARS. And give the rest cancer centers and animal shelters. Cause I sure wouldn't want to be bothered by all these people you never even knew. :rolleyes: Nay
