Crafty Mathy Mom Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I want to want one, but the temperature is in the mid 90s. I just can't. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I want to want one, but the temperature is in the mid 90s. I just can't. :sad: Turn the AC down to freezing levels & go get one! :lol: Thanks for the PSA. I need to do a Starbucks run today! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 My DH did his fall set last night and brought me home a salted caramel hot chocolate. Oh, heavens. That made my night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Now I'm dreaming of the eggnog one which will be returning in another couple of months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ooh, thanks for letting me know! It's the only flavored drink I like at Starbucks. Otherwise I just get plain old coffee--no cream, no sugar. Strangely enough the past week has felt quite a bit fall-ish. I know it's going to get hot hot again (I'm in GA after all), but I'm enjoying this lovely weather while it's here. Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I want to want one, but the temperature is in the mid 90s. I just can't. :sad: Same here, and I want to try that Toffee Mocha :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I had one Sunday. It was absolutely scrummy. We were in the middle of a cold spell so it was perfect timing. You can order a pumpkin spice frap if you'd rather a cold drink. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 For those who don't have a Starbucks or want a cheapo version, many quick shops with instant cappucino machines have fall and winter flavors like pumpkin and eggnog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkInTheBlue Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Already? Wow! I wonder if it's here already too since we still have a LONG time of summer weather left. :) I'll have to go find out so you all can rest unworried. ;) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 That means fall is on it's way! We have a Starsbucks about two blocks away practically in our neighborhood. Once it cools a bit more, I can go for a nice leisurely stroll to Starbucks for a coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Trying to wrap my brain around that word! :D It's a good thing, right? :tongue_smilie::lol: It's a morph of yummy and scrumptious. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Perhaps dd and I will have to walk into town one cool morning (umm, mid-October?), fight off the college kids, and do some schoolwork at Starbucks. She shares the passion. But not the caffeine :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaissezFaire Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 YAY!!!! That is always the gateway to fall for me. Bring on the fall stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meet me in paris Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Pumpkin spice is honestly the best thing about fall. <sigh>... now this heat wave needs to leave us alone and let me enjoy my coffee already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
