I'm a freak for a nice mocha blended with the right amount of espresso from Starbucks. So much so that I'm now going to start looking at it as a personal issue that needs to be corrected.
I spend way too much money on my daily drink. Twice a day when I'm feeling especially spry. The total ends up to $3.60 each morning. Just to wake up. That's sad, a waste of money and terribly unhealthy over the long haul. Not only that, I've begun to notice this enlargement around the middle part of me.
Not the enlargement I could appreciate either. Unfortunately. :P
I see this as a chance to just quit the Starbucks habit at this point, and make it more a leisure pleasure. I'm heading into old age at this point so should start making better habits for myself. On average, I'm in what I believe you could accurately call my second half-life. (?)
New Habit
So, I might have an open slot for a new habit in my future. I wonder what I could put in it's place. Knowing me, I'll need to put something there rather than allow a habit to slip in there without my knowing. That's how Starbucks started for me. I guess it may be better to plan your habits in advance.
Riding down the road, you see many Starbucks, so where do we stop for a break when rolling around? Starbucks, if not the gas station. That probably won't end. It's a nice stop when you need to stretch, wipe the bugs off your face and quickly refuel the stomach.
I always get my hot as a grande non-fat, no whip, no foam, two pump, double-cup (only when driving) mocha. My cold is a mocha frappaccino. 'Frappa-chapa' as my gay friends call it.
I'm such a flipping yuppie sometimes...
