A family comes in to order drinks. Their daughter, who was maybe 8-10ish, ordered a mocha.(?!?!) I highlighted that it has 2 shots of espresso in it and double checked that they didn't want to make it a decaf (many parents will make it a decaf upon realization of espresso being involved), but they did not so I moved on to the next drink. The son wanted a hot chocolate. Both kids got chocolate covered pretzels. As we're trying to check out, the son is bouncing off the walls, picking up everything in the "grab and go" section asking if they can have it. The daughter is also a bit hyper. The mom looks at me and says "Ah. I don't get why they're so hyper!?!?". REALLY? No idea? Huh? It took everything in me not to say something about the sugar bombs and sugar/caffeine bombs she just ordered for her kids.
Granted, it's less sugar than a can of coca cola..... In my shock, I wasn't even thinking about the calories and fat of those two drinks --which ends up at around 32g of fat for a small!
I feel so old because I certainly don't remember having that urge to consume caffeinated things, especially coffee at such a young age. But then again, coffee shops weren't a part of my growing up....And well, I was kind of a weird kid.....with "kind of" being kind of an understatement. :)
Ok, onto other life stuff-- in a nutshell
- Job hunt: Grumble grumble.... I'll stop there.
- Wedding planning: Reception venue booked. Next up: ceremony site, officiant, DJ, photographer.... if I don't wind up broke first.
- Pampered Chef: No parties booked. I've been sick so I haven't been able to do any follow up calls. Seriously questioning if I have it in me to make it past my 90 days....at least I got some cool product out of the deal, right?
- House: Most projects are on hold. Gutters pretty much wiped us out financially. The only thing we're working on is our retaining wall project (ongoing). We're about 1/2 way across with the first terrace.
