So who is a Java Junkie like me?

I was NOT compensated for this post, but I really like Starbucks^® & thought you might, too*

So its Tuesday afternoon, and still technically the beginning of the week. My energy is already sapped and I was desperate for a caffeine jolt java shot. I stopped by a Starbucks^® 30 minutes ago, and, as my Dear Hubs had ordered suggested I order my favorite beverage, a Grande Vanilla Latte. (I also picked up a pastry, which has no real bearing on this post, but if I mention it here perhaps my Dear Hubs will ignore the fact that I inhaled it forgot to share).

Today I bring you a chance to win One of Five- $10 gift certificates to Starbucks^® (not sponsored by Starbucks^® ) so you can enjoy a morning (or afternoon, evening) cup of coffee/Tea/whateva-you-like and inhale a pastry on me.
