Is there such thing as being addicted to Starbucks?
7 AprStarbucks is driving me broke. And I am not exactly Kim Kardashian in the money department either. I can’t go through a couple days without going to that hipster coffee shop. I have been to other coffee shops, but I love their atmosphere. The calming music, cool people walking in and out, also the smell of coffee is quite enticing, almost toxic–in a good way. Even their staff are great. They gave a great spirit and are always friendly, with the exception of one grouch at my local, but even she’s funny at times. Starbucks just seems to have a sophisticated air. I love their wireless internet. I can go there and use the computer or do whatever without being interrupted or distracted by others. God they’re good! They have component just right. And the drinks of course are delicious! I think their drinks have more coffee flavor than many competitors, and sometimes I need that. I am here right now drinking a $5 drink and I could have spent it on something else. But seeing everyone else with a drink while I was sitting around here made me yearn for one too. HELLLLLLLLLLLP MEEE! I need to look for cheaper drinks on their menu. I am trying to live a frugal lifestyle and look what happens. I hope Groupon does a Starbucks deal sometime soon because I need all the gift cards I need to keep up with this habit.
I Finally Visited Chili’s
6 AprIn many of my Chili’s giveaway entries, I said that I had not been to Chili’s before. Well that all changed on March 25th when I decided go and check out this restaurant to use the gift cards I earned from the blogs Energizer Bunny’s Mommy Reports and The Thrifty Maven. The bill ended up being $25 and some change, so both were needed. I went with one of my girlfriends and didn’t know what to expect. She had been there before so I was the who was new to this restaurant but I ended up really loving it. I didn’t print out the chips and queso coupon that was in my email (big mistake). I wish I had because, I have heard and read so many raves on it. I got the Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas and my friend got a Shiner Burger. Her food looked good, although I thought the portion of fries given to her were small. There was about 10 fries, lol. That was to be expected because I have noticed that in blog reviews of Chili’s food. She was able to finish all her meal in one sitting. I, on the other hand couldn’t even finish the whole thing, or even half. I took the rest home and ate it for dinner. I just reheated it in my toaster oven and it was great! I really enjoyed my meal.
The service was also superb. Our waitress was great! She came to our table at least 5 times to check on us. And she refilled our drink three times she was very attentive. I amazed because I have never received that type of service before.
I enjoyed my first time at Chili’s and cant wait to go again! I don’t have a camera, but I couldn’t leave you guys seeing this post with no pictures, so I just took them from the Chili’s website. They are better than nothing, but I really need a camera.

Ch-ch-ch-changes
21 MarI have changed the layout of my blog, and will change a more things as well as I get closer to my 24th birthday on April 28th. I wanted to make that my deadline to change my blog to its original intentions, which was for personal and giveaway entry purposes. That is why I have added a “Personal” category to the blog. That will be the place where all my personal posts will go. I have also separated giveaway posts that will be a for blog giveaway entries, from my own reviews and giveaways, although the Domino’s Pizza giveaway was the only one I have had so far. I am trying to decide on whether I should change my blog’s landing page.
