After I dropped the kids off at school this morning, I was unable to resist the unexplainable gravitational pull my vehicle had toward Starbucks. I am starting to think they are in cahoots with the auto industry. I mean is there a magnet in my car that attracts to a magnet at Starbucks? It surely seems so.
Anyway, I decided to use some of my gift cards from Christmas. Yes, I said giftcard(s), as in more than one. Haven't you ever been to Starbucks before? NOT. CHEAP. However, this was no ordinary trip to Starbucks. I had a mission. My plan was to purchase one of these...
and one of these...
and (cue the angels singing) one of THESE...
After receiving said goodies, I continued merrily on my way to my destination. I had every intention of giving ALL of this...
and HALF of this (angels singing again)...
to...
Cute, huh?
ANYWAY. The only problem was that when I got to the college where Rich teaches, all that was left of the....
were these...
What you can't see anything? Let me give you a closer look.
All that was left were a few measly crumbs.
And here is where I could (and probably should) delve into a more deep and insightful post about how too many times (despite my intentions) the person I love most in my life ends up with only the few crumbs I have left in my bag. But I think that meaning is inferred, so I will just say...
I'm sorry. You deserve more than crumbs.

But you had good intentions, right? Haha! Better luck next time. BTW, I've never had a SB pastry. What do you call that thing? It looks delicious!
Hanging my head at how often I give crumbs to my sweet man, too.
Try again tomorrow.
That is too funny. Make sure you register those cards. Depending what you get it is cheaper with a registered card, and you get a free drink after 15 :) This is why I do all my tutoring at Starbucks (that & the library isn't open when I tutor). I get 15 small cups of coffee & then a free venti ..... I usually give Joel my card for the free drink.
Love it! I also got Starbucks gift cards for Christmas, which I had used up by New Year's. Now I'm trying to take care of my body and my checkbook by not going there or any of the other places I am tempted to eat out for the New Year. Starbucks is the HARDEST one to avoid!!! Let me know if you find out how to disengage the magnet in your car! :)
He loves you enough to be ok with the crumbs.
that blankity-blank starbucks. gets a girl in trouble every time!
Thank you for the laugh. You're a better woman than I am by even INTENDING to buy your man a treat like that. There's no way I would've had any left, either. :)
and, I never knew a registered card gives added bonus... hmmm... maybe I'll buy myself a few cards to justify saving $. hehe
Maybe there was something in the air today, because my car went to Starbucks too. Weird.
i love a good object lesson! but you know he is delighted for you to have gotten to enjoy the whole thing. :0)
