That's hilarious that you've hooked your mom. Peppermint mocha. Ah, the delicious comforts of life. You're so right, others will know what's important to us. Faith, family, friends, and well, chocolate.
Great post! Glad your mom is doing better.
Tell your mom welcome to the club!!! Yep. What we love just flows out of us, doesn't it. I hope the Jesus part flows out of me, but much of the time I think it's mochas, chocolate, and well, I wanted to say mexican food, but that just doesn't sound right.
Blessings to Colleen's mom. Glad she's doing better and enjoying some of the finer things in life!!!
I got one of my best friends so hooked on Starbucks that she woke up one morning at 4:30 am, got dressed, and sat in the parking lot until Starbucks opened. When she explained that I was her friend, they understood.
God forgive us all!
Yep, it all started for me when a friend and I met regularly for Bible study at a coffee house. Before that, coffee was never my thing, but oy vay!--I'm hooked. I thank Jesus every day :)
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I LOVE the peppermint hot chocolates from Starbucks. To DIE for. (or get fat for)
LOL...hey, those white chocolate mochas are to die for! LOL
I won the DeBrand's of course. I'm the biggest. LOL
I forgot to say that I gave my mom her first taste of DeBrand's when she got home from the hospital too. She loved those truffles!
Glad your mother's better. I admit. I'm not into the coffee specialties at Starbucks. They just haven't come into my life yet. :) But I love a cup of hot tea while I'm sitting at my computer. Or, a bottled Coke. Or, my Frozen Cappuccino. It's to die for. Course I serve that at parties in a punchbowl. Yum, yum! Thanks for a great post, Colleen!
God shows his love for us in many ways. I believe one of them is Starbucks :)
Glad to hear about your Mom!
Peppermint mochas are my all time favorite hot drink. We're kindred spirits . . . but we already knew that, didn't we.
Peppermint mocha? I may just have to try that. But to be honest I'm not a coffee drinker. I just like to go to Starbucks to hang out. Although I haven't done that for awhile.
But hey, I've got a bunch of Starbucks cards laying around. I need to use them somehow. All the Mamba cards are gone and that's just depressing considering Strawberry Whirls are my latest addiction. :(
I'm hooked on the coffee, mochas, expresso, as long as it's related to coffee. :o) But I have yet to try a DeBrand truffle. I've had Harry & David's and loved them, but these sound like the Godiva of truffles. A little scary! ;o)
So not a coffee drinker here. (shhhh . . .frankly, I can't even stand the smell.) But caffeine in its other forms is wonderful. Kinda funny. . . we went to Costa Rica this spring and I brought back 16 or so lbs of coffee, and we don't even drink the stuff!
Everyone we brought the CR coffee home for was happy, happy, happy when passed it out. And with all that coffee, we still didn't come home with enough for everyone! I will say, it was less offensive smelling to me than the "regular" stuff.
Oops! I realize I put Mamba, instead of Jamba! Grr...so much for editing. LOL But you all got what I meant right?
And just for the record I love the smell of coffee. Probably why I like to hang out in coffee places. They're finally opening a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in my area. I love their tea. That makes me happy because the other three stores on the island are about forty minutes from where I live. Too far to drive just to study. :)
Okay, Colleen, I can buy it all but for the MacBook--not sold on that yet no matter what my crit partner Jen Tiszai thinks.
But I also have to question, cafeine after a heart atack? They wouldn't let my hubby near it after his so maybe that's why he's not sold on Starbucks yet. I should have been bringing him espresso drinks while he recouped :-) Glad your mom is doing better--God and Starbucks, that's the ticket!
Abundant blessings,
Jenny Cary
Oh, a post that is near and dear to my heart! COFFEE!!! I like it strong and any which way it comes. Being from a medium-sized town on the Canadian prairies, Tim Hortons is the thing here and I just LOVE their coffee.
But I've been told that if there was a Starbucks around, I'd be hopelessly addicted. Did I mention I love strong coffee?? There's just something so soothing and fulfilling about even the smell of it. I take that first deep breath and....ahhh! My inner soul sighs. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. I think I'll go and brew a pot.
My heart beats in anticipation as drip, drip, drip the carafe slowly fills....

LOOOOOOVE peppermint mochas. Those are my favorites!
