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.

I never received this in e-mail, for some reason. I just saw it when I was looking for a post you made a while ago about Web 2.0 sites and friendship and narcissism (still looking for that one).

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.
