KISSING MY LAST STARBUCKS COFFEE GOODBYE
Dear Starbucks Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte (extra hot),
The time has come for me to say, "goodbye.". We've been through a lot together. You've been a crutch for me to lean on in times of need. You've been the one to keep me awake when driving on long road trips, when everyone else fell asleep. You've helped me through the countless yo-yo dieting days. I could give you hundreds of meaningless quotes, such as, "It's not you, it me." Please know that there is one and only one reason for this sudden break-up, THE BUDGET. If you are looking for someone to blame, don't blame yourself, blame my friend and co-worker, Sara Moore for pointing out how much $ I have spent at your fine establishment over the last month. Since your recent breakup with Sara, she and her husband were able to become first time homeowners. I'm just saying! If needed, I can break it down, mathematically, for you:
1 cup = apprx $5
x 7 days = $35/wk
x 4 wks = $ 140/month (may I point out that this is more that our monthly Duke Energy Bill)
x 12 months = $1,820/yr
I will stop there knowing that it is too painful for you to bear more. I will always have a very special place in my heart for you. Thank you for being there for me. Although we can no longer see each other, I hope we can still be friends. It is best this way. I simply want MC to be able to go to college one day. You understand, don't you? If you love me, you will let me go. So, this is it, our final goodbye. It's more difficult than I ever imagined. Farewell my Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte Extra Hot. You will be greatly missed!
Sincerely,
Delecta

You make me laugh! This is one habit I (thankfully) never started. When we were in Seattle on our mission trip last summer, some of the teens went to Starbucks every morning. They kept wanting me to go, but I knew I would be loving it too much to stop. You should have been a writer!!!! Give everyone hugs from the Masseys!
if only mrs. abee could see you now..........
it is so fun to read your blog! I am so excited about my haircut and my husband loves it! Thanks for the wonderful relaxing afternoon and I will enjoy keeping up with your blog in the meantime! Lauren
Andy is figuring up the time he beleves t took you to come up with this story (and the time it took me to read it) and is now imagining all the things we could get accomplished with those precious minutes! How sad to have no creative spirit!
