I don’t have friends in high places. I have friends in the right places.
Yesterday, Dana just so happened to place herself in the perfect eavesdropping position during a Starbucks Corporate Meeting in a Florida Starbies. Well done, Daner. Well done.
What did this fortunate circumstance get us? An inside scoop.
There’s a new sheriff in town, Starbucks lovahs.

The skinny peppermint mocha. A yummy, slimmed-down sheriff. And he can rule any town of mine.
NEWSFLASH #2:
I will probably never get pregnant. Everything I do is the antithesis of having a bun in the oven.
(source)
And on that note, probably won’t ever dye my hair brown. I just can’t rock it like you, Gina. You = rockstar. My face on your body = gremlin.
I like to eat bleu cheese, sleep on my stomach, eat raw dough/batter, inhale caffeine, eat sushi, bend to pick things up, eat fish and do forward rolls. Oh. And um, drink alcohol.
NEWSFLASH #3:
(source)
Someone else got skinny, too. Jonah Hill is suddenly a stud?
I learned from Ellen (my main news source.. whatever) that he took #2 on Cosmo’s stud-o-meter. He lost to Gerard Butler.
…eh. I’d still prefer Chace.
NEWSFLASH #4:
It was school picture day.
Just in case anyone wants one for their binder. I told Dana I’d even sign the back “bfffffffff” for her.
NEWSFLASH #5:
All training for this Sunday’s Marine Corps Marathon: DONE.
I woke up at 6:30 this morning to get my final two miles in and watched the sun rise as I bopped down the sidewalk. It was glorious. I could have skipped.
Aaand now everyone knows what I look like when I wake up in the morning.
Sidenote: my house was bought as a fixer-upper. Clearly, the bathroom has not been redone yet. Please avert your eyes from the really great paint splotch design by previous owners.

I LOVE the peppermint mocha!!!! Hands down my fave Starbucks drink. So comforting and holiday-like. This is amazing news.
Also, I bet Jonah Hill won’t be as funny anymore now that he’s all skinny… what’s up with that? How dare he.

You’re going to roooooooock this marathon! And I won’t judge your bathroom if you don’t judge my hall bathroom that is covered in mirrors (previous owners). I mean, bring able to fix your hair while you pee is cool, right?

I meeaan, I like to multitask.
Pffft… that bathroom paint job is rockin’.
I hear ya, though, our house was in pretty bad shape when we bought it and there are still projects we are getting to after owning it a year and a half, haha!
