"It tasted like cloves & ass"

Topical Tuesday is a weekly blog project in which 4...er FIVE! people contribute their individual spin on the same topic.

This week's topic comes from Shara: "Pumpkins. Now, go!"

With all this commotion about the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte, I found myself compelled to try it.

Usually, I am a white chocolate mocha (non-fat/ no-whip) with an extra shot gal. After hearing Shara go on about it, and my boss shouting "Jamba Juice has the Pumpkin Smash again!" I thought to myself, "I like pumpkin pie, why not give it a shot?' and gave in last Friday.

My latte was one of EPIC FAIL.

I ordered it through the drive through and due to lactose intolerance issues, it was a non-fat, no-whip. The drink tasted SLIGHTLY of pumpkin spices for the first half of the drink, then (without warning) changed to "OMG! PUMPKINSPICEEXPLOSION!" for the last half.

It wasn't stirred and the coffee part floated to the top and whatever makes it a "Pumpkin Spice Latte" fell to the bottom.

I drank it all because I am cheap, and wasn't going to waste $5 to throw it away.

It turned my tongue orange and made me feel sick.

In the future, if I want something that tastes like pumpkin pie...I will just eat a slice of pumpkin pie.

And to turn this blog from being all "debbie downer", here is a picture of my skilled hubby's pumpkin carving prowess:

We're naming the baby Dutch Ascot!

This week's topic comes from Sara: Which celebrity are you sick of and why?

I can only pick ONE??

I am not a fan of celebrities, in general. My intense dislike mainly stems from celebrities who name their kids STUPID names.

So, being the child of a famous person isn't enough, they have to have ridiculous names as well?

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon, I am looking DIRECTLY AT YOU.

Monroe I can stand, but Moroccan? You named your baby a nationality! Morocco is cool, you could've called him Rocco for short, but no. You took it one letter too far.

I could rant about this all day, seriously, but I won't.

It's one thing to be creative, and give your child a name that you've thought about and spoken out loud. A name that is just adorable on an infant, and stays that way as they grow up.

Is Moroccan Cannon (OMG, just say that out loud right now. Moroccan Cannon.) going to be a lawyer? A doctor? He could be. All I can say is at least he'll be rich.
