WTF Wednesday/Randoms/Whatevers

[abcdefu]

Well here it is!! It was all put together inside the box so yay for not having a million pieces everywhere! I can't wait to take her on her first outing!! It's so light and comfortable! I'm just so happy to get my independent back! My birthday is Friday, so I feel like I'm beginning a new year and a new chapter in my life. I face timed my mom to show it to her and she must have seen how happy I was bc she didn't seem sad like before. This is the best thing for me and I'm going to be okay!

Side note: in typical clumsy Abcdefu fashion, when I went to sit in the chair I tripped over the foot rest and thankfully caught myself

I had a WTF moment earlier this week when a barista at Starbucks tried to tell me that chai isn't tea. They had some promotional thing going on where you would try to get 5 stickers for drinking iced beverages in July and then you would get one free. I had ordered iced chai before and gotten the sticker for it at this same Starbucks. I went in earlier this week, ordered an iced chai and the barista said, "That's not a tea beverage, only iced coffees or teas count. Do you want to get an iced coffee?"

Umm ... chai is a tea beverage and an iced chai is an iced tea beverage, but she didn't believe me. Chai/iced chai is pretty much what I order when I go to Starbucks. Frankly though, there's a much better smaller chain shop down the street from that place so I think I will start going there more often.

They are an idiot!  Chai is the hindi word for tea.  Its also the same in Russian, Czech, Arabic, Croatian and a ton of other languages.  

Exactly. I think the drink is actually labeled a "chai tea latte" on their menu as well. I was kind of in shock.

jigsy, sorry about the car situation.

abcdefu, yay for new wheelchairs and new beginnings!

Tonight I had to run into the library to grab a book I had on hold before the library closed. I really, really wanted an audio book to listen to for my drive but I forgot to hold one, so I had to make a quick decision. One caught my eye and I pulled it off the shelf...it's called "The Soulmate Secret" and the tagline is something about finding your soulmate with these easy tips. LOLOLOLOL. I so checked it out. The author bio says she met her husband and 3 weeks later they were engaged. I can't wait to listen to this. It feels like I might be hate-listening to this one. If it turns out to be useful I will be shocked.

Tomorrow my coworkers are having a baby shower for another coworker. I'm excited about the homemade lunch that's being served, lol.

I'm waiting for chinese food and gearing up for the little women LA premiere in five minutes. I'm starving and exhausted.
