Wednesday ~ Starbucks Tuesday (Wednesday Edition)

My car, the road and the weather all conspired together this morning to kill me. Imagine finding your side mirror completely frosted over so that you can't tell if any cars are hurdling down on top of you, your seat-belt locking up and forcing you back against your seat so that you can't even turn your head to look out the back windows, and a cement barrier hurdling towards you at a tremendous pace from about twenty feet ahead...all while trying to merge into freeway traffic on an already brutally curved on-ramp! Needless to say, visibility was low. But despite the all-encompassing threat, I survived their conjoined attempt on my life and made it to Starbucks right on time. :)

Yes, I am back to work after a gloriously long holiday and even though it's not actually Tuesday, I am celebrating Starbucks Tuesday anyway. It is my first day back at work, so I needed a little encouragement. :) I started out the 2013 year by setting the tone with an old faithful:

Grande Carmel Apple Spice

 "Ah, Carmel Apple Spice, thou art as beautiful as thou art tasty!"

Because yesterday was New Year's Day and hence a holiday, I bypassed Starbucks Tuesday Link-Up in favor of next week. So!! If you have a tasty (or non-tasty) beverage this week, take a picture of it and have it ready for:
