Coconut-Nation!

I went to Body Pump and Body Step tonight.

Pump was great. I took it easy on my legs, but focussed on torturing working my upper body HARD by upping all my weights.

Then came Body Step. I kind of wanted to kill myself. I consider myself to be pretty athletic, and in pretty good shape. It never fails though. Step class just about KILLS me. It sends my rate rate through. the. roof. To boot, there are 2 leg conditioning tracks that had my poor little quads screaming for mercy.

Good news is, I survived.

Bad news is, I may not be able to walk tomorrow.

I stopped by Starby’s my way home for an iced coffee with 2 pumps of coconut. DEEELICIOUS.

I have a serious addiction to the coconut syrup. I own several bottles of Starbucks syrup, so I thought I’d just buy one.

When I asked, the man at the counter told me it was seasonal and that for that reason he could not sell it to me.

My lip started to quiver, and my eyes filled with tears. Add to that, I was all sweaty and disgusting from my workout. I think he felt sorry for me. He went to check his stock, and came out of the back room holding this.IMG-20110526-00140.jpg

I just about hopped over the counter and dry humped him.

THAT’S how addicted I am.

Thank you Mr. Barista at Starbucks. You totally made a sweaty girl’s day.

I can’t wait for all the coconutty drinks in my near future.

Hi Amy, I'm a long time reader, I actually used to work with Andrew at Convergys. He told me about your blog years ago and I've been reading ever since. :)

I share your love of Coconut Mochas from Starby's, and I was so very sad when I couldn't buy a bottle of the syrup from the stores. Then a couple of weeks ago, I went to pick up a friend from the Marriot Hotel at 100 Kent Street. They have a Starbucks in the lobby. I noticed that they had a bunch of syrups on sale and then the coconut syrup jumped out at me! Yay! The girl at the counter said that because they're a hotel with international clients, that they're allowed to sell it, or something. Anyway.. if you want more, head down there before it's gone! :)
