Double the Purses...Double the Fun

I love driving into the driveway and seeing packages on the front porch waiting for me. Greg doesn't as he usually knows his bank account is slowly dwindling.

I had 2 packages waiting...one from my sister and one from katespade.com. I knew what was in the kate spade box, so I set that one aside and opened up Hollie's package. It is a fabric starbucks bag! A reusable starbucks bag! I was telling the boys that it is so awesome! I love it! Everyone is going to be so jealous!!! Thanks, Hollie!!! I love it. I'm going to attach my Starbucks Charm from the American Village Starbucks to it. Everyone will be doubly jealous!!

On to my kate spade handbag. It is soooooo nice. I absolutely love it! It's my anniversary present from Greg. It's nice and big. It came just in time. I'm tired of my red/white checkered kate spade bag. Time to put it into hibernation until next spring/summer.

Starbucks Oatmeal

I decided to test out Starbucks new oatmeal. They are trying to introduce healthier breakfast alternatives according to their website. I get my usual drink, although it has morphed into a venti this week as I'm dragging. TGIF. There is absolutely nothing special about this. Nothing whatsoever. It was bland and then the next bite I'd get a hunk of salt or something like that. Yuck. The price is $2.25 for this container of goo. You are better off bringing in your Quaker instant oatmeal or some nice steel-cut oats.

And the kicker is....they give you this spoon meant for a peanut buster parfait. This is a dainty cup of oatmeal. Do they really think the cup is that big? I asked for a different spoon and she said that is what comes with it. Oh, excuse me. I don't want to stray from the "formula."

We grew up on oatmeal and my mom is a fine connoisseur of the oats. I think the best on-the-go oatmeal was at the Library of Congress. It tasted so good...especially after walking a 1/2 mile from the VRE train in 10* weather. Hmmmm...the good 'ol days :-)

I love Duct Tape!
