Mugswap!

In September I participated in a Coffee Mug Swap hosted by Yellow Umbrella and Pointing Up.  We "stalked" other bloggers on their blog, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter accounts to find out a little bit about them and then used that information to buy them a coffee mug which we felt symbolized them.

The other day I received mine in the mail and I could not be happier with it! It's a personalizable tumbler from Starbucks!

Remember those black pages with rainbow underneath that you scratched off to make a design? ( I used to play with them all the time when I was in elementary school... they're AMAZING!)  That's what's inside the tumbler.  So, not only do I save 10 cents every time I take my mug to Starbucks, but I get to design it myself!

Plus, Falen from UpwardNotInward, included a Starbucks gift card!  Seriously, the best surprise EVER!  I see a lot of Pumpkin Spice Lattes in my future!

Thank you Falen!  Have a good weekend all!

UPDATE:  I decorated my mug!

Happiness in a Cup

So everyone has something they turn to when they're in a bad mood or upset about something or just need a little pick-me-up.  I call it a "happy-maker" (makes me happy... get it? Creative right?) Starbucks is my happy-maker.  

So today, I was bored and lonely and in desperate need of a happy-maker to fix my mood.  Luckily, Starbucks officially has their Pumpkin Spice Latte back.  Seriously, it's like a little piece of Heaven in a cup.  I once told my roommate that I needed it in a continuous IV so I never had to do without it. (She told me that meant I'd never be able to taste it though which created a problem... She's smart.)

So needless to say, my Pumpkin Spice Latte (mixed with the fact that Toy Story is on TV right now) has vastly improved my mood.

Catlady SideNote: I know I write about my cat way more than necessary so I'm going to start labeling it so people don't have to read about her everyday.  Her right eye has been watering way more than usually lately (almost like she's crying) but it doesn't seem to be bothering her (She's not itching it or anything).  Anybody with cats know what the cause could be? Or better yet, how to make it stop?

Hope everyone's having a safe and happy holiday weekend!
