9-25-09 Friday (Caramel Frapasnob)

It’s funny, fellow blogger, Alix, recently posted about her trip to the mall and the annoying sales people at the kiosks.  I won’t go into that too much since I blogged about it back in December (here) while at a mall in Portland. 

Seeing the kiosks, and remembering how disturbed Alix was about these things, I decided to text her the above photo.  Kind of like a haunting I suppose.

Later in the day we met up with Mike, Dave and David for dinner at Ruby Tuesday.  Dinner was fair at best.  If I go back, I’ll try something else.  Jim and I generally don’t care for their menu but figured there was something we’d be happy with.  The funniest was a trip to the Beall’s Outlet (clearance) store.  Well just look at the photos.

As a first for Jim & I, the 5 of us hung out at Starbucks.  The weather was nice so we sat outside.  I had my favorite there, a Caramel Frappuccino.   I’ve only had 4 or 5 of these.  I don’t want to become hooked on Starbucks.  I’ve heard people on cruises say they could die for a Starbucks.  I’ve seen people get too snooty over Starbucks.  I’ve seen people spend way too much money on Starbucks.  Starbucks are everywhere.  Jim and I saw a skit on TV about having a Starbucks in a bookstore.  To top it, they were going to put a Starbucks in a bookstore with a bookstore inside of that.  Or a Starbucks inside a Starbucks.  And for Alix?  Maybe a Starbucks kiosk inside of a Starbucks.

Me?  I’m happy with my Folgers.  Afterall, it is the best part of waking up… with Folgers in my cup.
