The Story

I am sitting at Caribou in a sweet arm chair that I haven't sat in in months. Brandi Carlile just came on the speakers, and I'd totally forgot about her since our obsession in Sydney. So I am also on her website, earphones blasting and definitely not in the States in my mind. I'm sorry for how many times I say that. I'm ruined.

I tried something new to drink here, which is always a really tough decision for me. Chai Tea Latte with a shot of espresso, also known as Dirty Chai? I'll be on these until I get sick of them and try something else, just like I'll be frequenting the doors of Pei Wei Asian Diners until I can no longer stomach brown rice and teryaki chicken. I usually find things I like and then hold on for dear life as I overuse (or overeat) it. I've found the reason I do this is because I am so afraid of being disapointed, wasting my money or having to make a decision (you may know already that I am one of the most indecisive people any of us know). Thankfully, I am starting to branch out a little. I'd like to know by the time I am 78 that I lived without fear, right down to chai tea. Speaking of chai tea, I should drink mine before it gets cold. I am also afraid of asking those people to heat up my cup.

Go look up Brandi Carlile. Or just go here- www.brandicarlile.com. You might like it.
