The Fives

Ok, so I'm usually not the type to do these, but I'm viewing it as a good excuse to get my blogging (and formerly blogging) friends to update their blogs! So Gagknee, Burnsy, Trish, Nurseatnight and Stendy (although Trish and Gagknee are not nearly the most serious offenders), hopefully this is what you need to jump back on the blogging bandwagon...a tailor-made reason and topic to post.


5 Things under $5 that I couldn't live without

1. Grande Non-fat Chai Latte from Starbucks
2. Kids meals from Chick-Fil-A (for OBB, not me - but I guess kind of for me)
3. Roast Beef sandwich from Arby's
4. Grande Decaf No Whip Mocha Frappachino from Starbucks (for when it's too hot for a hot drink)
