oh sweet coffee.

So today I took advantage of my free birthday drink. Had I known that this was a regular perk for starbucks registered gift card holders in previous years, this wouldn't have been my first year of having a free drink on my birthday.

Nevertheless, husband and I took a brisk stroll down to our local *buck and presented my free drink voucher. I decided on a venti (yes, venti) Salted Caramel Mocha. I was a bit unsure about how I would like it, as while I do love a good salted caramel, I wasn't sure about if I'd like drinking one. But I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. And can I say that this is probably the last heavy drink I'll have for a while, as I briefly checked the drink's nutritional info before leaving the house and I won't share with you the shocking numbers.

Anyway, I hope you had a great new years eve and day. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of this blog, and I hope posting will increase in 2012.

And here is a shot of our dog, enjoying the new years festivities.
