So I have to admit that because life has taken an upward swing in my other job (I'm also a Clinical Interventionist for children with Autism if you hadn't read that before), I've slowed down on blogging a whole lot in the last …uh, while. I miss it. I miss being able to jump to the computer when I have a good idea or finding the energy to post a long photo post at the end of the day. It's hard and I wish I did it more.
In lieu of my trying, I thought I'd post something a bit more personal. I often like to take my laptop and get away from my condo to do my editing. I tend to get more done and it usually means a tasty treat of some kind (which doesn't really help my get healthier agenda as of late). I've been sticking to a few stand-bys lately and I thought I would share the wealth.
Yummy treat #1: Mojo Yogurt.

My absolute favorite thing to digest these days. I'm obsessed. My all time raddest combination goes as follows..
Pomegranate Tart + raspberries + blue berries + captain crunch cereal = a cup of bliss
They basically let you get a cup, self serve your own choice of yogurt (only after sampling with your own little spoon, of course) and then add your favorite toppings from their super-huge bar of treats.

They have you pay by the ounce, so buyer beware. If you can find some self control and not make a fruity rainbow of stuff, it won't cost you too much… but it really is worth it either way. And..if I don't add to much cereal, I don't feel all that bad about eating it.
Yummy Treat #2: Starbucks
Yep, I still love me some good ole' Americanized Starbucks. But I've recently found a new drink that they don't show on the menu that is SO AH-MAZING. I mean it…I know I've already talked about my friend, the Captain, but if you like Captain Crunch Cereal, you have to try this. I recently read this on and had to try it out. I couldn't believe the likeness to the cereal. Enter, the Captain Crunchberry Frappaccino. I've ordered it just like this and I only get about 50% of the barristas who have any clue what I'm talking about. If they don't, just tell them to make it like this:
1 Strawberries and Creme Frappaccino
1 shot of toffee nut
1 shot of hazelnut

Yummy Treat #3: Coffee Plantation
One of my favorite drinks of all time is the Chai Tea Latte. I often prefer it over coffee and trust me when I say I've had plenty of different kinds of chai as well. My favorite, however, is at The Coffee Plantation. Not only do I love sitting in a coffee shop with my steamy cup of goodness, but they have free wi-fi and I could litterally spend hours there working. Not to mention, every Tuesday night I meet with my girls for a Bible study and I almost always order. It kinda stinks that it's the most expensive thing on the menu, but in the end, I'm happy to fork over my five dollar bill because they've always been so good to let us meet everyweek and pull whatever tables together that need be. Love it.
(No really cool photo to show for this one. Maybe one day I'll take a picture of my drink…because it's such an exciting subject to capture…).
Anyway, if anyone ever wants to meet me and grab any of my obsessions…or introduce me to yours, let me know! I'm always up for company!!
