Can you believe that McDonald’s is going to try to compete with Starbucks? It’s true! They are going to be installing coffee bars at 14,000 locations, and will be serving various espresso drinks. All I have to say is, disgusting!

Maybe I’m a coffee snob (it really is possible) but I would not remotely even consider heading to McDonald’s with a group of my girlfriends for our weekly coffee “dates”. Part of the enjoyment of this time is the ambiance, and screaming kids coupled with the smell of frying grease does not create the kind that I perceive the average Starbucks customer to be seeking.

Now, in my defense, I did try the iced coffee’s that McDonald’s rolled out last summer. Gag me, they were terrible! I had several friends who also tried them, and thought the same thing. Of course, we are all big fans of Starbucks-like coffee shops, so maybe that is the problem. I supposed if you regularly drink McDonalds coffee it might have been a refreshing treat. But most of us all agreed, it was terrible!

So - why expand upon the idea? And, even if they had to dabble in espresso, why do it trying to imitate a coffee bar? I do admit if I were in a pinch for some caffeine and I knew I could get an espresso drink while driving through McDonald’s with the kids I might try it. But that’s not the route they are taking.

I guess we’ll see. If anyone here gets one of these new McDonald’s Coffee bars, you’ll have to let me know what you think. I’m very curious!

Oh boy - it just keeps getting worse!
My son and his friend went roller skating Friday night, and came home joking about how many girls phone numbers they each got. I just about died, until they confessed they were just kidding - in part. It turns out my sons friend started “going out” with a […]

I suppose the question might as well be, what haven’t you done? I mean, she’s gone out in public with no panties (more than once), driven with her child in her lap, dropped her kids, shaved her head, and countless other things. Girl, what the heck did your Mother do to you???
In case you haven’t […]

Wow - I had no idea what I was getting into! First of all, the location our ward had selected was way too small. In fact, I suspect that if the fire marshal had been there we would have been kicked out. LOL But, we squeezed into our schools tiny gym/lunchroom combo, trying to make […]

Ok, I could still change my mind - but I am pretty sure that I am going with Edwards. I’ve spent most of the day and lots of time over the last few months learning about everyone, and this is where I’ve come to. Of course, this isn’t the real election, but it does influence […]
