the little java monster

Friday, October 27, 2006

Up until a couple months ago my mom had never drank any coffee. She would occasionally try a drink and say that it was disgusting. All of that changed though...I believe it was while my mom and I were shopping that I convinced her to stop at Starbucks for me. I got one of my usuals, a White Chocolate Mocha and then forced her to try a drink. I remember her looking at me with wide eyes. "This is really good!"

I surprised her with a pumpkin spice frappuccino one day and her eyes were opened to the chilled coffee drinks. Soon she was trying drinks at Panera and Starbucks. Sniff, I was so proud. My mom was growing up.

On Wednesday I got this email from my mom after lunch: "Kimberly! You really have turned me into a java monster!!! Do you think they have a group to join that helps you break your addiction to being a java monster????? Seriously. I'm in big trouble. I had to drop some papers off and before I knew what was happening, my car was driving right into the parking lot at Panera Bread!!! It was like it was all of a sudden on auto pilot. =) So since I was there, I thought I might as well go in a get myself an ICSpice."

I totally created a monster. It's so great.
