#starbuucks

I just bought:

2 number one's off the drive thru menu at Burger King (extra pickles for my Little Man and no pickles for me)

1 pair of sunglasses for Little Man

1 $25 iTunes card (because I was told it's not important that I have music, but it IS important that he rack up $200 on the cradit card he got THREE f-ing days ago). So I bought my own.

1 Caramel Frapp for Little Man

1 White Chocolate Mocha Frapp for myself

What does this say about me?

This week's "Lunch with the FT" features Howard Schultz noshing at Barney Greengrass. (The Starbucks CEO's order: pickled herring, whitefish salad, salmon with eggs, bialy, fruit and babka for dessert.) Schultz is promoting his most recent book, Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing Its Soul, and the interview has its intimate moments. Schultz recounts a moment in 1985, when he was raising money for il Giornalle, a chain of coffee bars, and his father-law-told him that he didn't  "have a job, just a hobby." Schultz said, "I started to cry, I was so embarrassed." Thirty-five years later, his hobby has a personal value of $540 million.
