It's the thought that counts

Today's thought was thought about 5 days ago but I kept forgetting the thought so it wasn't thought out at the right time so I could blog about my thought but now I've remembered the thought at the right time so I can write it down! Yay me!

Haha okay so here's the thing. I love starbucks! I get starbucks almost every morning and I don't know how I'm going to live without it when I go back to school. I adore the smell of the place and could be in there for hours just watching the people and listening to the (insert nerd term here) baristas be not so smart with eachother. It's awesome. I know their computer thing better then they do since I always have to explain where they need to ring me up when I order what I always get. My thought though is about their water. Ethos. So the stuff is $3 a bottle right, but you feel good about buying it because they donate to places so they can have all the clean water they need. YAY good cause!! But then we read the fine print..... for every bottle of water you buy, we donate a grand total of $0.05!!! Now doesn't that just warm your heart?!?!? I thought it might. So ya, bottles of water probably now cost about 50 cents at most to produce, and we're donating 5 cents from an already costly bottle of water. Just consider the irony.

Is it just the thought that counts?

Dude what do you order?? I hate you for posting this because I was just thinking this morning that all joy in my life is taken away because I'm preg and I feel like if I drink a caffeine filled Chai Tea I'll kill the little kidney bean. So now that I'm reading this I'm even more saddened. THANKS. Weird about the water though, I'm glad you read the fine print. That's awesome.

Dude, there are Starbucks all over the place here. Oh, or is it just because Dad pays?? Haha.

Haha that's one reason but the other is it won't be directly on my way to school so I probably won't stop that often. Plus dad pushes me to be on time and I won't have that either.
