PSAT? Nope, sorry Random Dozen First!

Well, I really should have been studying yesterday instead of answers my questions to the Random Dozen, because right now, if you're up at like 7:30 and are reading my blog. I'm stuck in a High School class room taking my PSAT! On the brightside I started my day off yesterday with a PSAT word curtousy of Linda, Amalgam is a SAT word and is currently on my vocab ring. It means a combination of different substances into one mass and it is a noun. Anways this conversation is a little vaccuous (vaccuous means dull or lacking substance), don't you think?







1. Is there a word which you initially mispronounced? Were the circumstances in which you made the faux pas embarrassing? By the way, that's not "foax pass." (I know you know that. Just jokin' with ya.) Oh, there have been a few, luckily it's only been with my family for example my mom's running mate, John Szewczyk, well I sounded it out, and let me just say it dosen't work for his last name, it's properly pronouced shef-shick, go figure!




2. How do you feel about the use of texting shortcuts and trends? (ex: "I've got ur notes. Get them 2 u 2morow.") It depends on the person that I'm texting or talking to, for example if I was talking to my boss, I'll go to the point of proper punctuation, but if I'm talking to one of my friends then I'll usually slip in some shorthand, but nothing like: ily! c u 2moro? k ttyl.



3. Tell me about your high school senior picture. Please feel free to post. This question makes me laconic (ah ha! Anothe SAT word, laconic means disposed to using few words), since I'm not even a Senior yet, sorry!



5. Share a high school or college homecoming memory. Oh! There was as Flashback Friday done for this one! I'll make the story short, and then link to my blog with the enlongated story. Well I wasn't allowed to go to my homecomming with my boyfriend, because I was homeschooled. I was indomitable (SAT word usage number 3, holla! Indomitable means unable to be conquered it) that night, I had my own homecomming! To read the whole blog post, click here!



6. Linda at Mocha with Linda wants to know: "Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?" Sunsets for some reason are so much more beautiful, they are breathtaking!



7. Lea at Cici's Corner asks, "What is something you have not done that you desire to do?" Travel abroad, I would love to take a month in England & Ireland, go to France and Italy, make a stop in Germany & Austria, and of course own horses!



8. Carol at Wanderings of an Elusive Mind ponders, "If you could come back [in another life] as an animal, which would it be?" A horse, specifically a black fresian mare, fresians are so pretty and so eloquent. I would love to be a fresian, as a long as I got a good owner :)



9. Joyce from The Other Side of the Pond is curious: "Where were you 10 years ago?" Please feel free to elaborate more than just your physical location. I was in my old hometown, in kindergarten with an awesome teacher, whoms name escapes me currently, and would probably be coming home to my grandmother and grandfather since both parents work full time. It would be a time of joy and simplicity that I miss dearly.



10. When you are proven to be correct in any contentious discussion, do you gloat? It depends who I was talking to, if it was with Mom, of course be we always need to refer back to Cae's three rules, "Rule number 1, I'm always right, Rule number 2, if I'm wrong please refeer back to rule number 1, and rule number 597 if I'm still wrong please go back to rule number 2,"



11. What is your favorite food which includes the ingredient "caramel?" Well I love Caramel Apples, but I also love a Maple St. Crepe from the cafe in my old home town, but my by far favorite drink containing caramel would be. . . Drum roll please. . . A Grande Caramel Applce Spice from Starbucks!



12. From my 17 year-old daughter to you: "If you could be part of any fictional family, which family would you choose and why?" (She's so cute. And clever.) The Addams Family!!! I would love to be Wednesday!!! But other than that, I would prefer to keep my own even though the boys are immature and annoying over every boy that looks at me, I still love them and would never trade them, except on occasion!

Five Reasons to Have Kids

So mom and I were talking about kids, and I have stated that I don't want any. . .Too many blood tests in my eyes, well mom then tells me that I have to clean the kitty litter (blech), soooo I come upstairs and go "Mom, I'm going to have kids!" so she goes, "Why? To clean the kitty litter?" she asks. I looked at her and said "Yes,". "Well, the KiDDy Litter is worse than the KiTTy litter," Mom said. So now I'm going to place a wanted ad in the paper stating "Wanted a person who won't mind cleanning kitty litter or kiddy litter, call (###) ###-#### for more information". Either that or my Italian husband will be doing all of that. So as I finished the conversation I go "In conclusion, that is why I think having kids is useful, Professor". So mom goes "Five Reasons to Have Kids", thus how the title comes, and there will be a list with five reasons to have kids!

Five Reasons to Have Kids!
1. To Clean the Kitty Litter!
2. They are just sooo cute, especially when they're babies!
3.To clean the dishes, maybe I won't get a dishwasher, its too much money ;)
4. An excuse to go to Starbucks, you always need caffeine when you're a parent
5. And they're a tax write-off, maybe I will be getting a dishwasher ;)

Lots of Love,

The Gospel According To Starbucks & Letter to Howard Schultz Update

I came across this book while looking on Barnesandnoble.com for books about Starbucks (my other fettish, which has it's own post click here to read it). So once I got a list of my Starbucks books, I requested them from my local library. I just started reading The Gospel According To Starbucks by Leonard Sweet, and so far it's really good. Leonard is showing/teaching how to grow in your faith with the help of Starbucks, my favorite quote so far from the book is.

"God has set up shop where you live. The doors are open and the coffee is brewing. God is serving the refreshing antidote to the convention, unsatisfying, arms-length spiritual life - and God invites you in.  God won't make you stand in line."

For some reason this quote made me realize that he's right, that God is inviting us in on a daily basis, and unlike Starbucks I don't need to wait in line. So I've now made a promise to myself and to God. My goal is to read the Bible from cover-to-cover, including the boring parts! This hopefully will not only help me in my religion, but will also help me in my education in religion.

Update on my letter to Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks

So a couple days ago, I was thinking of the letter that I wrote to Starbucks asking for the Green Apron Handbook, the one Starbucks book that I have yet to get my hands on. So when I got the mail that day, it turned out I got a response. Now the reponse wasphrased a little like this

"Cae,
We're so glad that you have enjoyed your experience at the Starbucks that you have been at, unfortunately we cannot send you a copy of the Green Apron Handbook.

Hopefully you will still continue to use Starbucks and enjoy the atmosphere

Sincerely,
Starbucks Employee"

A little disappointed yes, but discouraged? No! I guess it just means that I have to be accepted into University of Hartford, and I guess I need to apply for a job at the Starbucks up the street from U of H, so I've planned my college life out. I will live on campus at U of H work for my library on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Go to school on Tuesday and Thursday, and work at Starbucks on Saturday and Sunday. Good idea? I think so, plus I would also get the Green Apron Handbook. That's going to be my goal! To get the Green Apron Handbook.

Note to Starbucks: I will always get Starbucks coffee, even if it is 45 minutes away to the closest one, you coffee and Caramel Apple Spice are amazing. Once you go Starbucks, you never go back!

Lots of Love!

My Starbucks Fetish



You all know that I have my little Titanic Fetish from the last post. Well I also have a Starbucks fetish. I love Starbucks! I have read just about every book written about Starbucks, except for the Green Apron Handbook. The Green Apron Handbook is for the Barista and it fits right in the green apron pocket, and it has everything what the Barista is and how he/she should act, and the fundamentals of Starbucks. Now I've gone to the point of scheduling my college around it. If I went to University of Hartford in West Hartford, CT down the street there is a Starbucks, so I could work at my library on M, W, F, Work at Starbucks on S & Sat, and go to school on T & Thu. . .Good idea right? Well mom gave me the idea to write a letter to Starbucks, so that's what I'm doing. I'll will keep you guys updated!

White Chocolate Mocha & Rapping?

Okay, so I just learned (from a family member) that Starbucks makes a White Chocolate Mocha. Does that not sound good? Now not only am I hungry, and thirsty, but now I miss Starbucks! Since moving to MA we moved to the middle of nowhere so the closest Starbucks is over 1 hour away! Maybe I'll start my own, but I have this fetish with Starbucks and I have read just about every book on Starbucks, which is really cool, because there are some really cool facts about Starbucks that you would never think of, but oh I miss Starbucks :'( Starbucks drink. . . doesn't it look soooo good????

On another note, my cousin is Valhalla, and he's trying to get going in his music career. So if you would like to vote for him please go to Kiss 95.7 if you would like to listen to his music go to his Myspace and if you like what you hear then download his free mixtape!!!
