Random Thoughts

I'm opening at Starbucks tomorrow and Wednesday. Urgh, definitely not my cup of tea but at least I will be getting home earlier, right?

Friday we have our store meeting about the new Christmas drinks. I have to say the Caramel Brulee Latte was somewhat of a let-down. The special caramel syrup is great, way better than the normal, but other than that the drink just doesn't seem to live up to my expectations of a snazzy, super awesome holiday drink. Peppermint Mocha, on the other hand, continues to be an awesome, year-round classic. :D Plus, it gets chocolate twirls on the top for the holidays!

Not to sound depressing, but I keep thinking about what my purpose in life is. Yes yes, how melodramatic and such, but really. I feel that I have so much potential and so much room to develop, yet I haven't found the right outlet where I can apply my whole self and fulfill my need to continue learning and developing. I feel stunted... D:

I am keeping an eye out for volunteer opportunities on base to help this feeling. I think volunteering will make me feel satisfied and happy. I like to give to people and I love being part of a team that puts together things that impact other people's lives. Hoorah!

So, for Christmas this year I decided to make my own cards. I've sketched out my ideas and bought the supplies, now I just need to get it done. It's crazy how fast time has passed! I'm also planning on baking cookies to give out, then putting them in self-decorated boxes. Yay for a craft Christmas, right?

If I remember, I'll post pictures of the final products before they get sent out.
