Mocha Latte Freeze--it's not just for dinner anymore



Hello. My name is Pam and I am a mochaholic. Specifically, a Costco Mocha Latte Freeze. The bad news: 320 calories--and I have 2 or 3 every week these days. The good news....they have 13 grams of protein, which is 26% of my RDA....whee! We just won't look at the other numbers. When I wake up from the sugar-induced coma it will be a brand new week....

This is, of course all dependent upon whether Ted comes with me or not (he usually does) and flirts with the counter clerk to put in LOTS of extra Hershey's syrup (he usually succeeds). I guess if you've got to have a vice, this isn't the very worst. I live about 6 minutes away from my nearest Costco and have been known to stop there and buy my Mocha Latte Freeze and the proceed to Sam's Club to make my purchases...I am a sick woman. So what's your latest vice?

I like Mocha Frappaccino!! If I lived closer to Costco, I'd try the Mocha Latte Freeze!! But starbucks is closer! In the summertime I have to have one at least weekly!

As Steve Winwood said in 1988, "You've got to roll with it Baby." Just go for it! (Because it will make me feel better about my vices if you're as bad as I am.)

The Latte Freeze also has 45% of your calcium! (That's what makes me feel less guilty)

I go to costco once a week and buy 8 lattes. One to drink and one aday for the next week. I put in fridge and when I getup in the morning I shake up and put in freezer while I get ready and then in an hour its like I just bought it from costco. I am truly addicted. And much much cheaper than Starbucks. Tastes much better. Orange California

Yeah, the Costco mochas are very good and being retired and 5 minutes from Costco I have one everyday. Needless to say I am on a first name basis with all the Costco food court workers. I burn those Mochas off with jogging, bike riding and weight training.

Hats off to them as sometimes my latte's made ahead of time as they spot me in line. Hehe. Happens to be my turn, Bam!, a lil sleight of hand and my latte's right there, $$, keep the change, thanks and see yall again! These days I happen to get 2. For myself. Ah yes, what a life. :D

Random Dozen October 7

Image
Time for this week's edition of Random Dozen. I just argued with myself over the placement of that apostrophe. It's way too early for this. Anyway, play along and head on over to 2nd cup and link up. (wow--that rhymes) 1. On an average, how often do you splurge and buy something for yourself? Maybe a couple of times a year. But the thing is, it usually has to be on clearance, and then additional savings off. Last week I gained huge ground and bought a top that was just on sale, not clearance. I don’t have this problem when I buy things for others, just myself. 2. Are you more like Hall or Oates? Just kidding. Real question: What is the last creative project you began/finished? Feel free to post a pic of it. Creative? Like in crafts? Pshaw. I wrote a pretty good article for our church website. Does that count? 3. OK, Goldie Locks, do you consider your house too big, too little or juuuust right? I love my house. But it has 6 people and 3 bedrooms and 1600 sq feet. In the gran...

Random Dozen. The Happy Birthday Edition

Image
Lidna, over at 2nd Cup , just celebrated her birthday and asked lots of people to contribute prompts for the Random Dozen meme.  She chose one of mine!  I'm so flattered!  So...here's my take on the doz....won't you play along, too? 1. From "Men Are Dumb ....": If you had a theme song that played whenever you walked into a room full of people, what would it be? My second son says “BOOM” by P.O.D. should play whenever I walk in to a room. Strangely disturbing. He says it was his “first band” outside of what his parents liked and Veggie Tales. How that makes it MY theme song, I’m not quite sure….In case you can’t decipher them, part of the lyrics say, “BOOM! Here comes the BOOM! How you like me now I say…” Never try to complete a blog post with the help of two 17-year-olds. At least he didn’t say Elton John “The B**ch is Back.” Sigh... 2. From Pam of "Alert And Oriented x 4": Which of your shoes are your absolute favorite, and which are of ...

THAT kind of neighbor, Toilets, Accidental Brunette-dness and the RD

Image
We are THAT family. For the past six weeks or so, our neighbors have been very patient with us. Every time we pull into our driveway, the theme from Sanford and Son plays. We have had up to six toilets in our yard at one time. In addition to this, because we are under construction and building out the garage as a bedroom for the two younger boys, everything that was formerly in the garage has had to find another temporary home. Thus, we have an elliptical machine, skate boards and ice chests on my front porch and a six-piece Pearl drum kit in my shed. And at one point, the bench seats from my old Suburban were leaning against the front gate. Obviously, we never parked our cars in the garage. Yep. THAT family. I am ever so glad we don’t have a homeowner’s association who gets wigged out over that kind of thing. And that we have neighbors who either are just oblivious or kind… And now, for the big reveal, I believe the time has come to answer the elusive question…what is UP wit...
