something warm please

i do not drink coffee, but i go to starbucks just about everyday. it has become quite the pathetic habit.

i neglected to prepare oatmeal for breakfast this morning. so, right around 10 am, i started to feel hungry. dreading the prospects of yet another day of pre-packaged lunch from starbucks, a quick and convenient choice i have defaulted to for the past consecutive four work days, i began considering the endless options of food i might have. the list runs endless here in LA--japanese curry, korean tofu, chinese dim sum, mexican tamales--thoughts of all of this warm goodness had my mouth watering.

as i am coordinating my lunch plans, a few minutes after 11 am, i am asked to help with a task that delays my fooding for another hour. and because i am just famished by the time i can leave to purchase nourishment, i again walked up the street to the neighboring starbucks i oh so wanted to avoid earlier in the day. turkey avocado club, that's all the hotness i got out of this day's lunch.

Can you order in?

C'est la vie said...

yes i can in fact, although it's a cash only place and to limit my spending, i have been avoiding carrying cash.

You know who else doesn't carry cash? Me. Oh, and the Queen of England. :) That makes 3 of us!
