Today's Mission: Obtain a Delicious Carbonated, Yet Healthy, Drink

I woke up this morning with an agenda, this never happens, and even if it does happen, there is usually zero motivation to fufill my agenda. Today, however, was very different. I want to find one of two wonderful drinks that I have recently fallen in love with. One is an Izze which is fruit juice with carbonated water, the other is a POM tea which is pomegranete tea mixed with myriads of different flavors. I could just visit the local Starbucks, but I don't want just one of these drinks, I want a bulk collection.

This is my 'I have mission' stance, ask anybody (by anybody I mean my Mom and RJ).


I put on some clothes, always essential, and check to make sure that I look worthy of the Izze and Pom tea.


Lookin good...

I get in my car. My plan of attack is check out every grocery store in the tri-county area. Starting with a one Genuardis which I am only about 25% sure I know the location of. I feel like in a dream I have been there before so I head to out find this well laid out and friendly grocery store.

On the way I look out my window to see my favorite street, my home.


I drive for a while not knowing the whereabouts of my destination. And because the heavens smile upon me I found this wonderful place.


However, apparently there is no justice in the world and I know that following the ideas of karma you aren't really supposed to expect good things to happen to you unless you intentionally do good things for someone else, but you know...it could start with you being the receiver of good! That is what I am always crossing my fingers for, not today though....not today. There were no deliciously fuity and carbonated or pomegranete teas to speak of at that dang Genuardis.

So because my car is running on empty and I have to work in an hour, I give up and return to my apartment to use my safety resource. First I put on the shoes that deserve to walk to Starbucks.


I go to nearest Starbucks. When I think about how much I love this place I feel absolutely no feelings of cliche whatsoever ...I will explain these deep feelings in a later post.

This wonderful place...


Provides me with this...


And a very good piece of coffee cake to boot.
I have done further research and will consult my local Wegmans later this evening to drain it of its Izze and POM tea resources.
