The Oracle of Starbucks

Today, I spotted my very first red Starbucks cup of the year.

How can this be?! We're still in shorts and tank tops here in Dallas. It can't be that close to the holidays yet... can it?

Since Hubby and I have been trying to cut back in every way possible in order to afford Christmas, my trips to Starbucks have been curtailed for a bit. So, no little red cups for me. In a more prosperous era, my drink of choice this time of year would be their yummy Gingerbread Latte.

Have you ever wondered what you Starbucks order says about you? Well, wonder no more.

Behold, The Oracle of Starbucks knows all!

You type in your order (including size) and the "Oracle of Starbucks" gives you a personality assessment like none other. Here's mine:

Behold the Oracle's wisdom:

Personality type: Lame

You're a simple person with modest tastes and a reasonable lifestyle. In other words, you're boring. Going to Starbucks makes you feel sophisticated; you'd like to be snooty and order an espresso but aren't sure if you're ready for that level of excitement. People laugh at you because you use fake curse words like "friggin'" and "oh, crumb!" Everyone who thinks America's Funniest Home Videos is a great show drinks grande gingerbread latte.

Also drinks: V8
Can also be found: On the couch at home

It's true. My tastes have become simpler, especially since I've started brewing my own coffee at home instead of paying $5 for it on my way to playgroup. I guess that makes me a bore and lame.

I'm not sure if it's the espresso, some much as having someone serve me and clean up afterwards that's the exciting part.

It's true. I do use fake curse words, so let them laugh at me. I like to reserve the real ones for special occasions. I have not, however, found America's Funniest Home Videos funny since I was in 6th grade...

V8 is good for you and, yes, my sofa is quite inviting.

As if I don't have enough delicious blogs keeping me from sleeping at night to read, I'm constantly discovering more, more, MORE!

I mostly find new blogs from seeing who other bloggers currently digging, but occasionally, a fascinating headline will pop up through BlogRush (you know, that little widget off the the side of my blog... If you haven't already signed up, you totally should!). Once I'm compelled to click, I'm as good as hooked.

This is precisely what lead me to MommyCosm and her post about The Oracle of Starbucks. I just had to pass it along.

Today, I'd like to express my gratitude for all of the people in my "bloggy-hood".
