Where's the effing Ham??

When I was a kid "Where's the Beef?" was all the rage. But after a tragically dissaspointing visit to Starbuck's today I'm left saying, "Where's the ham?". They told me that they have now discontinued the ham and egg breakfast sandwich in lieu of their new nasty sausage panini-ish thing. You are officially on my list Strbx!
I was able to find something unique and original to enjoy with the one shining light still at Starbucks (Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate!!). Check out this exotic link and tell me what you think.

My Summer Vacation



It's hard to believe that summer is over. Today marked the official first day of fall which forced me to reflect on all that I accomplished this summer season past.
I managed to complete an intense four week summer quarter at my alternate university. That felt like quite an accomplishment. I even received a 3.9 total GPA from it.
I was fortunate enough to visit family for an extended period of time. That was probably one of my favorite memories made. I was able to experience a part of the world I otherwise would have never known. As well as getting to know how to handle a gun and make pinecones (aka: "grouse") dance. Thanks Uncle Ron!!
We put our house on the market. That was a brave act of craziness. The icing on that cake was seeing how creative my husband can be with a crockpot and outdoor flowers. Ah, memories.
And now we are working on the joyful occassion when my sister will be married. I have a feeling that the wedding, the sale of our house, and midterms will all come together in one perfect storm to drive me even closer to the 200 mark on the scale. Or at least that much closer to a Sloe Gin Fizz (two shots of Sloe Gin, topped off with collins mix equals theraputic goodness!).
Stay posted folks for updates on all the above, not too mention the exciting new quarter at school that starts on Monday.
Happy Fall!!
