Curse Starbucks

I went for almost 12 years without drinking Starbucks. Then, one day, I drank a Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade- Black, half sweet. I'm pretty sure they put crack in their products. Otherwise the whole world wouldn't be addicted to them, right? I'm sure I would have been addicted long before now if I liked coffee.

There I was, begging the children to let me make a pit stop at Starbucks. They rarely agreed. Which, I'm sure, was a good thing. Then, one day, I needed a snack and got a piece of iced lemon cake to go with my tea. Dominic was hooked. He started asking me to make a pit stop at Starbucks. A few days ago, Gabriel tried the stupid lemon cake. Tonight, he called me when I was on my way home and asked me if I could stop at Starbucks. We have one hold out, but I'm sure he'll come around.

As a result of the crack that Starbucks so obviously puts in all their products, I am asking that all my birthday presents be gift cards to Starbucks. I have to support my habit, don't you know.

The first time I had their coffee was at the hospital when my dad was in. Even with little sleep, I could have flown without an airplane. I agree - they're putting in a secret ingredient.

OK, let me give you some advice, fiscal and otherwise. Force yourself to drink only their coffee and it must be BLACK and only BLACK!!! The crack is in all the other garbage they put in coffee to hide the hideous flavor. Their coffee and tea is wretched without the crack.

Then, when Thanksgiving comes around, make it a Sunday treat and get yourself some Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is pure crack. By New Year's you'll feel guilty enough to make avoiding it a resolution.
