One of those days
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.

Oh, and Cub has coupons for buy one, get one free for both Cameron's and McGarvey's coffee. I'm all set with French Roast and espresso (I use a mixture) for the next several months.
As for cheering things, I have a Romance Exchange this Saturday, and the table is already set, and I think I've done all the shopping I need except for hitting up the shrimp truck.

2. I'm not a big fan of (ours, at least) the gingerbread latte. Cinnamon dolce or peppermint mocha is where it's at!!

I like darker, fuller-bodied roasts. French roast would be great, or else surprise me! Send to:

In any case, I get my gingerbread flavoring from netrition.com. They charge $4.95 for shipping, no matter how much you order. I like the Da Vinci brand because they have a huge selection of sugar-free syrups.
I have about 10 bottles sitting on my counter. The spicy ones (gingerbread, cinnamon, chocolate) go in coffee, and the fruit ones get mixed with seltzer water to make sodas, or Hawaiian shaved ice to make snowcones.
