Life in the Ozarks: July 2007

July Fun!

Posted by Annie on Saturday, July 21, 2007

On July 12 this year, our 8th Wedding Anniversary, we had a little family dinner out and took a walk around the UofA Campus for old times' sake. We found our names on the sidewalk and told Lexa that her could be there someday too. :)

On the weekend of July 21, my thirty-something birthday, we met up with The Ericksen Clan and D. Rich in Branson and had a great time! Lots of fun and food! The cabin we stayed in was Awesome! http://www.thousandhills.com/

The Starbucks Dilema

Posted by Annie on Thursday, July 12, 2007

No, this isn't a post on Battlestar Galactica - even though the season finale was sick!

This is to report my recent research on finding the perfect low calorie summer time drink from Starbucks. I usually pull up to the window and frantically think what would be a good choice and then end up ordering the safe Venti House Coffee. Then wait half an hour after getting the drink to cool off before I can drink it as I sweat in my car. All the while thinking I should have ordered the Grande Carmel Maciatto Frappuccino with whipped cream - but wait, that has like 500 calories right? So after a little bit of research I have some drinks to report just incase there is anyone out there like me.

Iced Caffe Mocha - Tall - Nonfat - No Cream - 130 Calories

Cinnamon Dolce Frappacino Light - Tall - 120 Calories

Espresso Frappuccino Light Blended - Tall - 80 Calories

Iced Caffe Latte - Tall - Nonfat - 70 Calories

Iced Sugar Free Syrup Flavored Latte - Tall - Nonfat - 60 Calories

Iced Caffe American - Tall, 10 Calories - Grande, 15 Calories - Venti, 25 Calories

Full scale reproduction of the Oval Office during the Clinton Adminstration on display at the Clintion Presidential Library. The first stop at FET 13 Staff Ride 2007.

Next was a family dinner at the Flying Fish. Good food, fast and casual. If we arrived any later I don't think we would have gotten to all sit together!
