Is it really December? What happened to 2010? Maybe a drug induced coma recovering from a shattered femur bone.... But really, I definitely believe the premise that time goes faster as you grow older. NOT that I'm OLD, of course! In fact, I like to surround myself with people older than myself, to keep me younger. Including Matt, older than me by 3 yrs and 3 mos. (To be almost exact, because I know he'll catch me if I exaggerate). He's definitely robbed the cradle! LOL! :-)
But Christmas? Really? It seems like each one comes quicker than the last! (Maybe because stores have Christmas stuff earlier each year.) Anyway, now I really am dating myself... to match my cane: black metal with a puffy black handle, how comical is that?! I'll stick with the crutches, thank you very much.
A couple of weeks ago, we went to watch Jamie at EnduroX. In true Vegas fashion,, it was cold and windy and I needed something warm to drink. I had to settle for Seattle's Best because Starbucks wasn't available close by (i.e. in the casino). It was fun to watch Jamie race! Awesome job, dude! I wish I could've seen my man race a motorcycle. But really he's fantastic, any way you look at it.. Back to coffee though, I must say that Starbucks really outdoes Seattle's Coffee on their cups. Check it out, Seattle vs. Starbucks. I think Starbucks has won more style points:
But if I can make a plug for local? Check out Olive Avenue Market in Redlands. Reopened and renovated; new inside seating and local products, too! There's the coffee and tea, and better than anywhere Pumpkin Scones. Sorry Starbucks, but they are way tastier! And I can't wait to try the Berry Scones, Cranberry Orange Scones, and Maple/Apple/Walnut Scones, not to mention the other sweets! The ambiance is great, and the local feel and supporting local business couldn't be better!
