It's a good indication that I am what some might label as "small town" when the news of the opening of a new Panera Bread in the B/CS area is the most exciting thing I've heard all week. Feeble attempts to wake up this morning were made in the form of reading the news online, answering emails (yes, working. shocking, I know) and even drinking coffee. The venti CAS my coworker brought me this morning significantly improved the chances of both a great day and being fully awake by 11:00am (even though my work day starts at 7:00....). but I was jolted from my semi coma and brought into reality at the wondrous mention of this glorious event.
(Those of you who do not frequent Starbucks often enough to know what a CAS is, I'll help you out. Caramel Apple Spice. Try it. It, too, is glorious. It's difficult to pinpoint which drink wins my heart the most, but this one has been in the top three for a number of years.)
In other disturbing news, I noticed that I wasted a total of almost 4 entire minutes on the commute home yesterday trying to decide on the thermostat setting of the AC in the car. I interrupted my own nerdy thoughts once I realized that I only wanted it to be set on an even number or multiple of 3 or 5....NEVER a prime number. And at that point the thought of my new daughter and loving husband next to me was all that kept me from veering off the road.
(The person who enters my vehicle and sets my thermostat on 67 degrees I WILL hunt down.)
I envision the perfect spring day, driving to Panera Bread with sweet little Mattie in the back seat (thermostat set on a nice round 70 or even 68).
Until next time! Cheers!

99 Problems.........But a Blogpost Ain't One
Please take note that this is the 100th blogpost on Life as Encountered by RC. I've been encountering life and blogging for you, dear friends....and don't think it will ever end. Nope. Shan't.
Home ownership...........this would be one of my 99 problems. The state of being a homeowner is bittersweet. Far more sweet than bitter. I shall not grow tired of trips to Lowe's, redecorating, painting (who are we kidding? I never want to look at/smell paint again...) putting nails in the wall where ever I want to.......What I shall grow tired of is not being able to call my landlord to fix my garage door button. I mean, I could call her, but it might be confusing.
I have major plans for the two spare bedrooms, too. I can't help but envision my little family running around in my very own house. Ahhhh it's sweet!
Endless training.....................................this would be one of the problems. Need I say more? Do you see that I'm work blogging? Are you inferring why I'm work blogging?
I'm about to even plan a menu so as to avoid training and am looking forward to a trip to HEB....my my, how the turntables. (HEB is a new post in itself. There is a brand-spanking new one right by our house. The cosmos is finally paying me back for some of the stuff it OWES me. IT OWES ME, I tell you.
Furthermore, I'm picking out items from here and shopping online. It sounds like its only a matter of days until I'm fired.....I know (THAT would be one of the 99 problems, to say the least). I sound irresponsible. But really....I'm getting everything done. And in a timely manner. These activities I describe to you occur in between work tasks.......
Ok, until next time.....I'll have something funny, I promise. Maybe.
