Orange mocha frappucino!

Guys, I did something tonight i swore up and down I'd never do.

My post-5K afternoon went something like this:

1. Lunch with Donna
2. Come home, relax out a bit
3. Realize that my insides were more cold than I thought when I get the chills, curl up with thermal blanket for a bit and nap
4. Shower, dry hair, dress
5. Pack up laptop and go to Scottie's, my favorite coffeehouse, to write.

It's at this point that I committed An Egregious Sin.

I went up to the barista and ordered...wait for it...a venti nonfat latte.

Venti.

The guy looked at me without missing a beat and said "Venti's large, right?"

*FACEPALM*

I apologized profusely. I know it used to bug the shit out of me when I worked at the Borders cafe and people came in and ordered stuff as if every coffeeshop was Starbucks.

The barista laughed at my discomfiture but I was mortified. I was That Person. That Starbucks Person.

On the plus side, at Scottie's they have this totally kickass sugar-free English Toffee syrup that I only wish Starbucks had. They have sugar-free Irish Cream, too. Must try that sometime.

I would have stayed longer but there was live music.

lifestyle: starbucks, daily life: embarrassment
