How can this lead to a rant? Because today it was my down-fall. Get it? (Did I mention I was corny???) Yeaaaaah. Moving on.
Had a craving for a pumpkin spiced beverage this morning. Was determined not to go to national coffee/donut chain store even though there are 3 of them in a square mile in my hometown. Why pay for what I can make at home right? Sigh....
I made myself a homemade pumpkin spice chai latte complete with caramel drizzle. Mmmmmm, it's gonna be so good! After pouring my glorious concoction into my travel mug to take to work, I realized that the cup wasn't quite full. No problem, I'll just add a little more soy milk (yes, I'm lactose intolerant on top of all the other crap I have to deal with) to my mug and nuke it for a minute to add in. That's when I, without thinking of course, poured cold liquid into a glass mug that had just been full of steaming hot latte. "Crack!" <lowers head> damn. I loved that mug - cobalt blue and the only thing I have left from my freshman year of college (prior to transferring for the remainder of my education). Oh well, into the trash it went. I've still got my fabulous latte. Right?
5 minutes later, my hubby and I are cruising our way to work. "Oh hell!" Didn't I leave the travel mug on the kitchen counter!? Son of a........too late to go back. I ended up going to said coffee/donut shop anyway (waited in a ridiculous drive thru line) and here's the thing...I got a pumpkin spice latte (made with skim because said chain doesn't carry soy milk? How much trouble would this really be for them? grrrrrrrr....) and that got me to thinking. Why did I just pay over $2 for a "latte" that is just an iced coffee? Seriously, the small latte is more than the medium iced coffee and it's the same thing. Don't tell me it isn't. Tastes the same. The same flavor can be added to either. They're not back there chilling freshly made espresso for my iced latte.
Well, at least I successfully brought my lunch to work.
