It’s the Venti things in Life that Make Me Happy..

Back in July we walked into Starbucks and found the new insulated tumblers that look like the Starbucks cold drink glasses. I use that glass every day. I love it. Here’s that blog. I only wish it were a Venti and not a Grande. Venti is the Large 20oz and Grande is the Medium 16 oz. Imagine my surprise to walk in to Starbucks only to find they have CHRISTMAS insulated tumblers!

It’s a Venti.. (the biggest size)

I was so excited when I saw this.. I almost kissed the

Barista. It’s weird how little things like this can

make a girl happy.

Back in Spring/Summer

these bad boys (with the green straw) were selling

for around $80.00 each on eBay! The current

Christmas cup is all over the place in price.

Really.. I’m not crazy.. check out all these other people that have been blogging about their love for this glass…

Fair Food can Make You Chubby, but it Sure Tastes Good

I had plans yesterday to talk about my experience with Fair Food… but after #5 took several years off of my life by disappearing in the middle of the fairgrounds.. I couldn’t do anything but hold him all night.

So now that I am better.. I want to take this opportunity to talk to you about the food you get at the fair..

I don’t know what this is called… I believe it was refered to as “popcorn” But I’ve never had popcorn like this before. It was given to me my by my friend.. who is about 1/4 of an inch taller than me.. and is entering in the 3rd grade. (that’s his steel toed boot in the photo). I believe he won a purple ribbon for this concoction. It has Giant Rice Krispie’s, popcorn, tiny M&M’s, white chocolate and peanut butter. It was delicious.

(Note to self.. when this kid enters 6th grade he will need to bring this in order to enter in the youth room)

Yes.. these cucumbers were really this bright green.

Peppers or Squash anyone?

Some would say this isn’t fair food.. but it could be one day.. do you see #5 and the man in the background? I wonder what they are talking about?

This is the whole reason I go to the fair.. Giant Corn Dogs.. oh and to see #4 happy.

#5 holding up his giant corn dog.. see the fries on the napkin? They were scarfed down before I could take a photo.

ooo-ooH.. I love a good funnel cake too.
