Saying Goodbye to Starbucks and Hello to Vets
02/11/2015

Dear Dr. Laura, 

Today, I had an eye-opening event. I realized for the past 5 years, Starbucks was bringing the worst out of me on an almost daily basis. I don't drink coffee, but wanted to get aboard the Starbucks craze. I came up with a tall vanilla chai latte: 3 pump vanilla, 3 pump chai, non-fat milk, no foam, no water, at 170 calories. It's a sweet treat and a lovely start to my day. NOT!!!!! 90 percent of the month the barista makes it wrong, tons of foam, watery, regular milk, etc. I would ask them to make it over.  They would get mad, and now I am the bitch. I just didn't realize it took a rocket scientist to make my drink. I couldn't take it anymore. After they made it wrong again for the 100th time, I decided I would take the $3.75 I spent daily for a stupid drink and donate the money to your cause, Operation Family Fund. I will probably lose a few pounds, start my day off happy, and make a vet happy too. I wish I would've thought of this sooner.
