I blame real estate and my friend Sharon for my slight addiction to Starbucks. When Sharon and I were getting our real-estate licenses (yes, I know that is so random) four years ago, we had to find a way to stay awake for class. The classes would be from 6 until 10 at night and without some caffeine, we could hardly make it through all the exciting information! Sadly, today Starbucks has released its official closing list of stores. two of the three Starbucks closest to my house are closing. I know that this is a sign of the times with so many people and business’ feeling the pinch of the economy. However, we all need our caffeine boost. I plan tomorrow morning to help the economy and Starbucks by starting my day with their coffee!
