Officially putting my foot down

So I know I say this every, oh 5 months or so, but now it's OFFICIAL! I am BOYCOTTING Starbucks.

I went this morning to get my usual S'bux drink, a tall skim iced peppermint mocha, only to be told that they have DISCONTINUED THE PEPPERMINT SYRUP!


I even tried their new "chocolate mint" syrup instead and it's that nasty super sweet grasshopper stuff, and while I love me some grasshopper pie and ice cream, it makes for lousy coffee.

I am utterly beside myself. I am verklempt. What am I going to do now!?... besides lose weight and save money? (Too bad I stopped going to S'bux about 3 months ago for my new fave coffee house, The Bean Counter.)

RIP, Peppermint. You better come back for the holidays, if you know what's good for you...
