The 4th Day of Christmas Joy

        Gingerbread Lattes        

I don’t know what it is about these lattes, but I am totally addicted. It all started about a week and half ago. It was a cold morning here in Raleigh and I was headed to one of my favorite coffee shops to get some work done. I was looking for something more than just a cup of coffee and for whatever reason that gingerbread latte just shouted out to me from the menu.

OH – MY -­ GOSH…..it was so good! With my eyes glued to my laptop like my life depended on it, I reached for my latte to take another sip, when nothing came out of the mug for what felt like several seconds, I realized it was all gone L I am sure I looked like an idiot staring at the bottom of the mug and then looking around to see who could have sipped my latte while I was fixated on my computer. Surely, I did not drink that whole thing already.

Anyway, since then I have lost count on how many I have consumed, but I can assure you that I have not hit my quota. My favorite one so far has been from Benelux in downtown Raleigh, my second fave goes to It's a Grind with Starbucks taking 3rd place. Since Starbucks is genius and has a location everywhere, I succumb to sipping my 3rd favorite most often (it's a rough life). Just like today, I walked into Target to grab a few groceries not even thinking about gingerbread lattes and bam.....there was a Starbucks. Of course I had to have one. 

That simple little pleasure....

JOY!
