    Confession…..I love Starbucks!  I know many people would never buy coffee from them but I love it!  The people are always nice and I have never had my order messed up.  Back in my Navy days we would go on coffee runs and have 7-10 different coffees and they would always get it right!  Since moving to Southern Illinois I have missed the drive-thru at Starbucks.  There is a Starbucks here but inside Kroger, no drive-thru.  I don’t shop at Kroger very often so there for I don’t go to Starbucks very often.  With three kids I find it very unnessersary to unload them and go into Kroger just for a coffee.  Don’t get me wrong…I’m not lazy it’s just a hassele that I can live without.  My kids are 7, 4 and 16 months it’s just too much trouble to park, get a buggy and walk what seems like forever just to get a coffee.  Then fight with the youngest on the way out not to touch because it’s hot!  See what I mean!  Then I’m sure on top of that the other two will complain because they don’t want to go to Starbucks or because I will not let them get milk or juice because we have milk and juice at home.  Too much hassle.  So after driving to Texas when we lost power I stopped at McDonalds, no starbucks around, to try their McCafe iced coffees.  I needed a little pick me up.  I know the McCafe has been around for sometime now but I have always been a little scared to give it a try.  I was a little surprised, it wasn’t bad.  It’s not Starbucks but it’s also not hours old coffee at the gas station.  So for the next few days until I move to Texas the McCafe is my new Starbucks.  I can’t wait to get back to the big city where they have everything.  I love the city!!  Starbucks…with a drive-thru on every corner, I can’t wait!  I just wanted to share that with everyone, thanks for listening.  Have a great day!!  Time to get back to packing.
