New Year's Life Resolutions

New Year's Life resolutions #2 and 3:

2. Control my in-box by practicing Email Zen.
I've been doing this for almost two weeks now and it's totally working.

3. Slightly reduce my caffeine consumption.
I currently drink an iced venti Americano every morning, which has four shots of espresso in it. As of tomorrow, I'm going to be making it a grande. (And then maybe one day it will be a tall.) (And then maybe one day... nothing.)

Re: New Life resolutions... Why does it have to be the beginning of the year for us to make positive changes in our lives? I'm going to try to better myself all year and call each improvement a "New Life resolution" instead of a "New Year's resolution." Every day—every moment—we have the opportunity to grow.

I'm going examine my progress every quarter.

this could go without saying - but if you drink a grande with four shots - it's still about the same amount of caffiene. so make sure you cut that too...

I don't ever want to give up my iced coffees. :)

I guess I don't understand the Starbucks obsession. Yeah, it's a fun place to hang out and the employees are nice but at the end of the day, it's just coffee with a 500% mark-up.

Good luck with your resolutions, Karyn!

I totally agree with gfygrl. I was going to ask if a grande has less shots than a venti.

Keep up the resolutions.

[Karyn]

A Grande has 3 shots.

I drink the same drink sometimes but I get a venti cup with two shots. You get the satisfaction of gluttony because of the large cup, and you get more water which is good for you because caffeine is dehydrating. Still, you're getting lots of caffeine. Also it's more economical because Starbucks charges by the shot and not by the cup size.

We are kindred spirits...first the covered espresso beans and now the iced venti Americanos. hee hee hee

I drink those daily and I need them. If I don't have them, I am one cranky mess. Good luck on reducing your consumption.

Just curious, why iced in the winter?
