another starbucks!!

So, I was good. I didn't bring coffee to work today. But you know what I saw on my way? to work? today? A starbucks is now on my way to work! It's coming soon! The station I get off at has two exits. By one exit, there's a starbucks across the street. I take that exit on my way home so that cuts the temptation. Plus, I would have to cross the road and then cross another two sides to get back to work - it takes too long - the lines are also too long in starbucks too. See, laziness has its benefits in keeping temptation at bay.

So, clearly Starbucks got in my head and am not alone. Because clearly there are a lot of lazy people around. In just this one block by work there are already 3 starbucks! Not counting the other two in the block next to us. So, they saw a need to capture us. Because the new one coming soon is right as I get out of my usual stop and in the direction of walking to work (it's on the same road as the one I can so easily avoid due to laziness!!)!!

Maybe a good thing if summer ends soon because I usually only get the frappucinos! And I will not crave it on a cold day!  

sleepless..

See this I don't understand. Daughter's in bed rubbing eyes, fighting sleep but stays put and not a sound is made for nearly 45 minutes. You think you can breathe again and throw some wild parties! And then the door opens, a pitter-patter is heard, eyes blasted with the bright light outside and her biggest concern of the moment, "mommy, you told me tomorrow's plan. But what are we doing day after tomorrow?"

So innocently, so sweetly she asks. And I am stumped. I want to cry. But this little darling spent the last 45 minutes of her time processing everything. I always forget not to get her excited about the next day. I know, I never can settle down. But she gets greedy and wants to know the day after. I have no plans. Day after, she goes to camp, I go to office. Maybe we'll go see M&M - I didn't tell her the last bit because she will latch on to it and call him & his mom tomorrow and confirm it!

Did I mention she calls her friends now during the day because it's night in India and in the mornings she calls her grandparents and her aunt/my sis?! She has already asked for a phone for herself - we said we will revisit when she is 12.

And just in less than a minute she was out. sigh.
