Musings

Starbucks, love to hate 'em. I do not understand what is so difficult about a Peppermint Mocha Misto. A Mocha Misto (which is on the menu) is chocolate and misto. Soooooo, a peppermint Mocha Misto would be????

A MISTO WITH CHOCOLATE AND PEPPERMINT SYRUP. C'mon Starbucks people. This isn't rocket science. No, I don't want coffe AND espresso in there. Yes, I want whipped cream. I want a Peppermint Mocha with coffee INSTEAD of espresso. Sigh. I won't even go into how they tried to ring it up. Ok, I will. They first rang up a Misto with chocolate syrup shot AND a Peppermint Mocha. I even told them "ring a Misto with peppermint shot and chocolate shot". Blank stares...

Subchoreblahblahwhateverthewordis Hemmorages suck. Go away. I demand it. Go away and let my friend have a normal pregnancy which ends with a normal home birth. The dream birth. I mean it. You will not win this, I will, so leave now peacefully. That is all.

Burts Bees, you're idiots. Harsh, I know, but if you really think that CLOROX is going to follow in YOUR footsteps and stop their evil manufacturing ways you're sadly living in a cloud. If only the world truly worked that way. If you fell for that line, how in the world did you become the successful company you are? Sad because I like your stuff. Sad because my fave stores won't be carrying it anymore. I shoulda known something was up when BB's showed up at Walgreens at significantly cheaper costs than anywhere else.

Smashed bananas in the bed sheets, well that's just not good.

Children in China, I will fight for your health by not purchasing toys made by you and your families. This will leave many without jobs, but what good is a crappy job if your lungs are diseased from pollution and your brains are damaged by lead? I cannot justify supporting such horrible conditions. Companies that don't use lead in their paint, I'm sorry but you are collateral damage. I hope your government listens to the problems and makes some effort to help you. I doubt this will happen. My dollar is my vote, and I vote not to support terrible living conditions, pollution and lead dust everywhere.

Thanksgiving weekend is going to ROCK. We're going to eat a ton, enjoy family, return to tackle the Christmas season (solstice in our house) as a family. I can't wait to see everyone, and good times are sure to abound.

One hour, a cup of coffe, a good friend. REJUVENATION. I suspect regular coffee instead of what was supposed to be decaf, but the simple act of getting away is amazing. The baby didn't even know I was gone. I was, and I enjoyed every blooming second. I may make this a weekly thing. Too bad there isn't a local coffee shop nearby instead of Starbucks, but $3/week isn't too much to contribute to a big bad corporation. How's that for justification?
