Tuesday Special #1

Since I didn’t post yesterday, and rather than waiting a whole other week, I’ve decided to give you a surprise! Happy Tuesday everybody! On these said Tuesday Specials (See subject line), instead of writing one of my long, and rather deep (Don’t argue. They are deep), posts, these Tuesday ones will be my rant about the things in life that make me happy- like pink mountains, with blue grass, and green and purple zebras. Tuesday Specials will give you a little glimpse into my head.  Here we go!!!

Episode 1- Bible Studies and Starbucks Baristas

Going to my Bible Study always makes me happy. Of course we probably do all the things that other girls do in Bible Studies, but I’m not sure that all those bible studies has a very special girl who gives you a belated birthday present that contains German gummy bears and jelly beans. What can get better than eating German gummy bears and jelly beans in Bible Study with some of your favorite people?! Not much can top that, my friends. Not much. Also, after Bible Study, I always feel really good driving home. What wrong with blasting Colton Dixon’s beautiful music in your car and singing at the top of your lungs? Who cares if people give you funny looks…and the police pull you over asking you to say the abc’s backwards? I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I didn’t get pulled over. I did get some very odd looks from the people who were sharing the road with me…but I didn’t care, because I was on a Jesus high and nothing could get me low.  And that’s what I have to say for Bible Study nights. Moving on!

Have you ever noticed how nice Starbucks baristas are? I don’t go to Starbucks very often, maybe 3 or 4 times a month, but every time I go there the baristas just smile whole-heartedly while I take a very long look at the menu, then order what I get every time (take note: I always get a caramel macchiato-creature of habit here). I appreciate them. Thank you Starbucks baristas for making my day that much better! I was at Starbucks this afternoon, sitting outside, people watching, alone...when suddenly I remembered that it wasn’t just the baristas at Starbucks that make me happy, it’s the music too! Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole! The kind of music that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, or snuggle in a blanket during a thunderstorm. That type of music is my type of music.  =) And that’s all I have to say for Starbucks. If ever you’re there, thank a barista for being so terrific.

Until next time!
