my funny valentine....

ahhh, now that the new year has come and gone, and the arctic chill is slightly subsiding, what shall we look forward to next besides new semester jitters and oh-no-i-must-apply-for-summer-internships-now panics!???? thats right, boys and girls, my least favorite hallmark holidays of them all, valentine's day!!! woohooo!

happy valentine's day.

starbucks is happy to announce farewell to a tremendously successful christmas season, making another proud sales record. for the romantic winter holiday next, we are happy to re-introduce the toffee nut latte, complete with whipped cream and toffee nut sprinkes; toffee nut creme; and toffee nut frappucino. all some of customers' favorites! there is also a wide array of valentine related merchandise, mainly red and pink with hearts and love in theme. all so cute! heh heh heh. dont forget the seasonal collector's item, the BEARISTA. this time, our bearista comes in a green frog suit that says, KISS ME! awwww, like, the ugly frog prince. there is also the weird looking squeezable stuffed frog toy (green and purple ones) that burps, errr, i mean makes whatever noises frogs make. ha!

all starbucks stores are also revamping the look of their menu boards. the new menu boards will allow featuring of seasonal specials and be more clear (in goal... i think; reality always differs...) in the individual drink ingredients to the customers. the menu boards also include side boards that will allow store baristas to utilize their creativity and turing the cafe into a cafe de las art-istas to advertise fun new drinks. check out teresa's fabulous drawings and christinie tingaroo's pseudo vintage "GINGERBREAD LATTE" advertisements at starbucks pipers alley. hahahahha. whatever, i think my drawing looks retarded. :(

as if you arent sick of me talking about starbucks, i got to take home a WHOLE box of peppermint brownie! yay!!! they are my favorite! they are "expired" to sell and serve to customers so i get to bring them home. hmmm, so yummy.
