From Huskies To Husbands

I signed up a while ago for a free sample of Starbucks new instant coffee Starbucks VIA Ready Brew .  It came in the mail today and since it is cold and snowing here I thought - Coffee sounds good, let’s try it!  OMG it is probably the very best instant coffee I have ever tasted!  Usually I think that instant coffee is vile tasting and shouldn’t even be considered coffee.  It doesn’t taste like instant coffee at all to me.  My samples were of the Columbia variety and was greatly enjoyed.  I wish that this stuff was available at a store near here, but sadly it appears only to be available on-line or in Chicago and Seattle currently.  The stuff is a little pricey at $9.95 for 12 packets which each make one cup of coffee.  But I guess that is cheaper than buying a cup of coffee at a Starbucks or other specialty coffee shop even if you use 2 packets to make a nice BIG cup.

In other news it is snowing here.  Not just a little either!  Click here for some photos of the snow parts of Wyoming are getting!  Laramie - the town where DH works - is supposed to get 20 to 25 inches of the white stuff.  Since DH doesn’t have any vacation time to waste due to our trip to Florida for my parents 40th wedding anniversary, we got him a hotel room for the night.   I guess me and the furbabies are going to have to rough it alone tonight :(  Also, due to the weather no blood draw.  The PA didn’t think that the samples would make it out in the mail and didn’t want them sitting around.  So, that is postponed until the weather clears… Hopefully that is tomorrow!
