One of those days

[pegkerr]

What with the layoff, I've gotten to the point of penny-pinching where buying a latte feels like a truly decadent luxury. I'll do it maybe once a week, but I have to really argue with myself first.

But today, I woke up unexplicably grumpy and so I decided to treat myself. A latte? Can I afford it? Go on, splurge a little, Peg! No, really, it's okay! You put in seven hours of overtime this week, surely you can allow yourself this, not just a standard latte, but $3.75 for a gingerbread latte!

Whereupon I managed to slop it all over the front of my blouse. Now I'm grumpier than ever.

Tell me something to cheer me up, friends list.

Bring along a small straw to stir up the whipped cream if they don't have anything like that available at their van. That's really the only way to make sure that doesn't happen. When we'd do samples of drinks in the bookstore we always put a straw in them even if they were hot drinks so that people could stir in the whipped cream and avoid potential messes. :)

Thanks! I'll try that.
