This was supposed to be 120 degrees...

I'm a Starbucks junkie. I admit it. But my order is very simple. I want a hot chocolate with the caramel syrup (sauce) and not the flavoring. Oh, and add whipped cream. My roommate orders a caramel machiato...upside down. We each have our quirks about what we want, but I watched a lady order her drink today and then refuse to take it because the cup didn't say "120 degrees" on it. Her drink HAD to be 120 degrees. Oh, and no fat, no sugar, please. Seriously? I understand the need to make it no fat, no sugar, but what's so important about the 120 degrees? Does it change the flavor any? Are we (as Americans) really so picky that we can't just accept what's given to us? I blame Burger King and their persistent "Have it your way, right away" slogan.

I know that saying "Starbucks junkie" and then talking about liking their hot chocolate seems to be rather strange. I've been meaning to try the caramel machiato, but I'm so dedicated to the Moxie Java Milky Way, that I'm not sure I can branch out. I like my Milky Way, I can't help it. Caramel machiatoas look good though...hmmmmm...

I was going to write a second blog today, one titled "It's called an ambulance, the siren means you get out of its way!" And rage against this girl I was behind last night...but as I'm trying to be more Christ-like
