Whatever Works
I mentioned that Starbucks was going to have to go, didn’t I?
Today marks Day Seven Of Starbucks Withdrawal. (Mantra: God is in control, and this is good for me.)
The thing is, Doug and I have racked up quite a habit at our local establishment. It’s four years running now, and frankly, we could have financed a significant hunk of our baby’s college education on what we’ve imbibed.
And not only that: Every time I read about the investors who got into Starbucks on the “ground” level and made their fortunes, I see cappucino. Or mocha. Or maybe green tea. Take your pick.
I lamented about it to Mom this morning.
“You know what? If I’d invested a measly $10,000 in Starbucks in 1987, I’d be sittin’ on 5 mil right now.”
“It seems to me,” she said, “that you’ve invested quite a bit in that place.”
“Yeah, but Mom, I’ve peed it all away.”
What she said next made me realize how much I love the old girl.
“Well, Katy, you DO like to pee.”
Ha! 50 points for mom. :)

Michael #2—Aw, thanks. You are one very special Michael!
