First things first, let's be clear what I mean when I say coffee. I don't mean that dark, black, bitter stuff that makes my mouth turn inside out. My parents drink that by the gallon but unless it has loads of cream and flavored syrups, plain old coffee does not make my list.
Instead, I mean coffee with funny names. Like frappuccino. My winter time favorite at Starbucks (aka my office) is the mint mocha frappuccino (no whip, to save on calories) and my summer go-to ice blended is the caramel frappuccino. If I'm near a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf I'll get a white chocolate. Heaven! (Sadly, I am not near a Coffee Bean at the moment. Sniff sniff.)
If I'm feeling moderately healthy, and the weather is cool enough, I'll get a soy chai latte. Great soy proteins from the vanilla soy milk. Yummy, earthy, aromatic chai tea spices. Mmmm, I can just smell it.
Some of my other coffee shop favorites are toffee nut lattes, iced green tea lemonade, and (if I'm going for a major indulgence) a white chocolate mocha. Maybe with peppermint.
Wanna know another favorite? Jaclyn Moriarty. Aka the author whom I wish I was. (Not her life, necessarily, although I'm sure it's quite lovely, but her writing. Sigh.) So, in honor of my stalking victim favorite author, I'm giving away a copy of her book, The Year of Secret Assignments.
To enter, just leave the name of your favorite winter beverage in comments. (No fair copying mine!)
Hugs and happy holidays,
TLC

Hmmm...what is my favorite thing?
Is it the smell of the Christmas tree?
Is it rubbing the soft fur of a kitty cat?
Is it the taste of thick homemade mac and cheese?
Well, you'll just have to tune in next week to find out. If you'd like to take a guess, I'll offer up the following prizes:
* A copy of GHOST HUNTRESS: THE AWAKENING and THE GUIDANCE to the person who guesses my favorite thing?
* A copy of CHRISTMAS MIRACLES to the person who guesses who the new Bee is going to be. Here's a hint: She's one of the sweetest people I know! LOL!!
Since I won't "talk" to you guys until next week, have a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Hugs,
Marley = )

As Tina said yesterday, this week and next the Buzz Girls are talking about their favorite things. (This week we're just teasing you about them and next week... Well, you'll have to tune it to find out how awesome next week will be.) So here's my hint about my favorite thing:
I couldn't write a book without it.Can you guess? I have a pair of challenges for you.
- The first three people to guess my favorite thing correctly get a set of Oh. My. Gods. and Goddess Boot Camp buttons.
- The first person to correctly guess the Mystery Bee gets their choice of Oh. My. Gods. or Goddess Boot Camp.
Keep reading this week to get hints about other Buzz Girl faves and check back next week for the big reveal. And big fun.
Hugs and happy holidays,
TLC

Favorite winter drink: Hazelnut hot chocolate Favorite summe drink: Iced mocha hazelnut latte, but only if by summer I mean anytime I am not enjoying the above "winter" treat. I really enjoyed The Summer of Secret Assignments and need to actually follow through on my plan to read more of her books. Please mail me a green tea lemonade, I really want to try it! ;)
Where I live we have a local chain named Caribou Coffee. When I go there and don't get a plain dark roast coffee (I do like dark strong stuff!) I get a fluffy drink. Here's the orders: Lite White Berry with sugar-free Raspberry. LOVE those things!!!!!!
Favorite Winter Drink: white chocolate peppermint mocha. But I rarely indulge. It is WaaaaaaY too fattening! Actually, I'd rather have a choke any time of year! LOL
Plain old hot chocolate with LOTS of marshmallows
I invented this drink, and it is made of AWESOME:
Hot chocolate
1-3 shots of espresso
A shot of peppermint or (better) a whole candy-cane
ohh Starbucks <3
My favorite winter beverage is def. hot chocolate with whipped cream - perfect after a day out in the cold!
I emailed you! (LMK if you don't get it... I tend to end up in spam folders)
My favest drink is a soy caramel macchiato. mmmmmmmm... I think I will go get one in a few minutes!
Hot apple cider. Yum-yum. :)
I love pumpkin lattes, cinammon lattes, and whenever I feel like I'm getting sick, I turn to chai lattes.
And thanks for the heads-up on The Summer of Secret Assignments. I'm putting it on my 2010 reading list!
My favorite alltime winter drink is definately the classic hot coco with cream. The Starbucks drinks look pretty nice too, have to try them soon!
Good old hot chocolate is my favorite! It has to be made with milk though, otherwise it is not so good.

Carmel apple spice. Soooo good. Walk to the store in the cold with a sprained ankle good.
Mine is PEPPERMINT mocha frappuccino! :)
Hot cocoa!
My favorite winter drink is hot chocolate from Lamar's Donuts...loaded down with fresh whipped cream.
Just plain old coffee with a generous dose of whipped cream. Yum!
Sigh, I love the smell of coffee but the taste makes me gag. I feel so uncool! I do love a mug of rich hot chocolate with marshmallow syrup and whipped cream though.
Has Jaclyn gotten a restraining order yet? :)
I just love hot cocoa
Ooh - I need some serious caffeine now, Tera! I think I love a yummy morning coffee with either non-alcoholic eggnog or a splash of Bailey's. Add some whipped cream and yummmm! Nothing like that on Xmas morning. ;)
My favorite winter drink is hot chocolate (out of a box i.e. nestle) with peppermint(from my tree) and cinnamon.
