Wake me up…before you go go….

So I’m off recruiting today…which means I had to get on the road at a decent time…and somehow try to wake up before I get to the community college I recruit at. Alas…this is no simple task. I’m a sleepy person…and really…for the most part…hate waking up. To help…I try to pick up a little snack or breakfast to take in to the visit with me. Gives me something to munch on…which if anything…the chewing keeps me coherent. I typically try for Panera or Casey’s (which believe it or not…has really good donuts in the morning). This morning, however, I was running late and there was a line at Panera. I decided to pass…knowing full well that QuickTrip was on the way to the college as well…and I’d survive with my breakfast snack coming from there….or so I thought. I got a donut…and long john to be exact. It was stale….stale as stale could be! I licked the chocolate frosting off…and threw the rest away. I also got what I thought to be a an amazing find. “Caramel Apple Cider Latte” is what the machine said…and my mind immediately went to the delicious taste of the Starbucks carmel apple cider. It smelled good…and looked good. “What a great deal for only 99 cents” I told myself….but I was wrong…..so very wrong. Instead of a delicious cup of cider…I have what pretty much amounts to liquid that tastes what I’d imagine apple soap to taste like. And apple soap…from what I’m guessing…tastes bad. So lesson of the day…don’t be decieved by all of the “glorious” beverages found at the QuickTrip beverage bar…and stick with Cherry Coke.Â
