See this?.....

My Saturday morning confession. I have a "thing" for Starbucks Coffee. I love the entire Starbucks experience. It's not just the coffee, it's the experience as a whole. It's the upbeat people behind the counter, it's spending the giftcards that everyone gives me as gifts because they know I love them, it's the coffee condiment table with all the different milks and creams, it's the eclectic patrons who hang out there, it's the ridiculously expensive cups and mugs and other gift items on display...I love Starbucks!

Anyway...I have a thing about my Starbucks cup. It all has to be lined up the right way before I enjoy my steaming cup of deliciousness. The lid on the cup needs to be lined up so that the sipping hole is lined up with the logo on the front of the cup. Now, this isn't only because it looks better this way...it's also because it prevents the sipping hole from being lined up over the seam on the cup...I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!! When the sipping hole gets lined up over the seam, the coffee can seep out and drip down the front of your favorite white shirt as you sip....that is NOT cool! So anyway...then the sleeve thingy also needs to line up so that the logos on both cup and sleeve line up...just because...well...just because they have to!











I cheated a little bit on this photo because I staged it for an avatar photo on my Facebook page. So I put the lid on backwards so that I could photograph myself drinking from the cup with the logo showing. I turned the lid around the RIGHT way after my little photoshoot!



Happy Saturday!!! I am going to watch the munchkin play soccer. I'll be stopping at Starbucks on my way out....

I gave up coffee... no more coffee for me, no matter HOW much I love it!! lol!! But I still like going to sit there with friends to hang out sometimes, good thing they have non-coffee drinks... and good choices too!! So I do hate the seam on the cup (because of the dribble), but other than that.... I just want what's inside, I don't care much WHAT the outside looks like. = )

You, too?!

I thought I was the only one a little OCD about how the cup, lid, and liner have to line up!

OBVIOUSLY, they are MEANT to go that way, right?
