I went to Starbucks this morning. I have a gift card and I'm not ashamed to use it. Especially since Zoe is teething and sleep has been elusive this week. Mamma needs a peppermint mocha to make it through the drive to work.
As I'm sitting in the drive-thru I notice the menu has changed. The Pumpkin Spice is back for fall, the Vivano drinks have been added and the breakfast menu has a healthy options section.
What? A healthy options section? Don't they know I don't adapt well to change. I quickly scanned the pastry section. Who needs healthy options?
Then I realized my biggest fear was now a reality.
It's gone. My cinnamon scone is no more. This was the last Starbucks in town to offer the delicious edible. I was fortunate it was the closest one to my home. It's my go-to breakfast on late and/or lazy mornings. Now it's gone. Forever.
I have the same sense of loss when I found out that Olive Garden no longer offered Chocolate Lasagna as a dessert option. Who wants gelato over chocolate cake smothered in yummy white frosting with actual chocolate chunks over the top? C'mon.
Now I can get an oat-and-nut bar instead of a scrumptious scone?
If I had known each of those things were going away, I would've stocked up.
Many of you are probably thinking, so what? Get the oatmeal or the Black Tie Mousse instead. It's not the same. I'm a very picky eater. It's hard for me to find things I like. When I do, they get ripped out from underneath me. Without warning. Without a proper good-bye.
Maybe God is trying to tell me to eat in more? Can that really be? You know what's next, the snack wraps from McDonald's.
