Hello there! I'm JavaGirl365.

I just won a Coffee A Day for a year from a sweet little coffee spot in Vancouver, Washington.

Join me as I embark on a year long, tasty journey of a Free Coffee a Day
from Grounds Central Station in Vancouver, WA.

If you are interested in finding this little gem of a coffee stand....
Grounds Central is located at 2630 4th Plain Blvd, Vancouver.

So... I lost my password ... and my log in name.....

Forgive me, readers, for it has been over 300 days since my last post.  :)

In my (albeit weak) defense, I lost my codes and ... well, I lost track of my blog!  Yikes.

Let me catch you up.  I've made it to the coffee hut more than 285 days this past year.  I have exactly 19 more free coffees.

Today, I 'previewed' Sunday's special.  Dark Chocolate Hazelnut.  Simply put: 16 oz was NOT enough.  :)  Creamy.  Chocolatey. With a hint of Hazelnut.

I will blog again!  :)

Day #29

Day #29 - Monday

It's official.  I have laringitis.  Yep.  Had to whisper my order at Grounds Central today.  Hillarious! 
Today's special was a Butterfinger Mocha. 

Oh. My. Word.  It was sin in a cup!  It was just like drinking a butterfinger candy bar (hopefully with LESS calories!)  The flavors were subtle - strong enough to be definately recognizable, but it avoided the overly sweet aftertaste that can come from other (un-named) coffee store's specialty drinks.

Tomorrow is TightWad Tuesday - where you can get your Latte or Mocha fix for a scant $1.50.  It's a true treat!  Don't miss this opportunity!

Until tomorrow...........

Day #28

Day #28 - Sunday

Again, another beautiful sunny day in the Pacific Northwest.  Not really warm (by Southern or Midwestern standards) but I believe it cracked 70 degrees!  LOL!  It was a crisp and beautiful day and I REMEMBERED to order the daily special! 

A Carmel Cinnamon Latte - I ordered mine iced - and it did not disappoint.  This one needs to be repeated.  It was like consuming a warm carmel sundae - that has a sprinkling of cinnamon on top.  Yum. 

Until tomorrow......

Day #27

Day #27 - Saturday -

Today's special was the B52.  I completely forgot to order it!  What???  Oh yeah.  That was me on Saturday.  In my defense, I was feeling a tad under the weather - and a bit dizzy (yes, more than normal) and it was a b-e-a U tiful day.  Bright sunshine... I got swept away and ordered a Kona Mocha Blended Ice (Big Train).  It was VERY yum.

Day #26

Day # 26 - Friday

TGIF!  Today's special was Butter Pecan White Mocha.  I tried to drink it slowly... so I could give it a proper review... but I couldn't.  So, I'll just say it was a disappointment... that I didn't order a larger size! 

Really yummy. 

Tomorrow's special is a B52 ??? No clue as to what it is, but come Saturday, I'll be telling you all about it. LOL.  Happy Friday!

Until tomorrow...

Day #25

Day # 25 - Thursday

Today, I asked the cute barista, Lindsey, to make a drink for me ... barista's choice.  As she handed me my hot coffee drink, I asked, "So, what did you make me?".

A Jamaician Rum White Mocha.   Sweet and smooth with a punch of rum flavoring.  I like it... but I don't think I love it.  :) 

Until tomorrow.........

Day # 24

Day #24 - Wednesday

Today was beautiful and bright and warm! How fun is that?  I knew what I was going to order before I even left the house.  My mouth was watering as I drove the short distance to Grounds Central.

What did I order??  A Java Chip Big Train blended ice.  Yep.  A Frappe for me!  It was super awesome.  I will be drinking it again... when the weather is warm... (When will that be??)

Until tomorrow........
