Out With The Old...
Goodbye, Pumpkin Spice Latte. Oh sure, those baristas are still making you, but I've had enough of your cloying sweetness, your oily aftertaste. No, PSL, it's time for me to move on. I've been a one fancy-pants kind of coffee girl for too long.
Oh, no. Don't look so sad. I still love you! I really do. But I have to get out there, taste some new coffees. It's not you. It's me.
Come on, Gingerbread Latte. Let's get out of here.
*winking over my shoulder at Eggnog Latte and Peppermint Mocha, and mouthing "I'll be back, fellas!"*

Thank goodness. I was hoping you'd give up the PSL in favor of the GBL. Maybe someday you'll give them all up for the Caramel Macchiato and never look at another drink again. I can' hope, can't I?

The Gingerbread Latte is my absolute favorite. I wait all year for it. Mmmmmmm.

You HUSSY!
(I have coffee envy. If it isn't in my freezer or available for $.59 at the McD's drivethru, I'm not partaking, alas....)

You are going to get me in trouble one of these days. I don't usually even think about frothy Starbucks treat UNLESS you start blogging about them. Damn you, Jenny Lauck!

The only way to truly love a coffee is to cheat on it. I mean, come on...you know I know how to really love a coffee!

Good grief, that just made me feel bad about that crazy drink I order, and have ordered.. every single day for the past 4 years?

Awwwwww.... heartache....
Since moving to a small, no-real-coffee-shop kind of town last year, I have been without pumpkin spice coffee. Or any good coffee, for that matter.
If only I weren't too lazy to buy the good stuff and brew it myself... ;-)

You three-timing latte SLUT!

I never even tried a PSL. I've never even had Starbuck's coffee. I really need to go there.

it was you! you, who got me hooked on the PSL! i had been blaming my local franchise for addicting me to the frothy goodness but it was really you that started the whole thing.
now i have to leave early to pick up the child from school so i can stop in and grab a gingerbread latte... damn you! =)

Oh yeah! A Gingerbread Latte with a Pumpkin scone or a Pumpkin loaf? YUMMY!

How fickle is woman.
So the eggnog latté? Pretty good?

*sigh* So flavor of the month...
What's a coffee to do?

LOL. I love me some pumpkin spice latte, but I've recently discovered the pumpkin spice coffe mate and now I don't have to cough up the $3.60 per cup. AND I have my OWN whipped cream....feel free to marvel at my frugality....wooooo aaahhhh

Aw, why'd you have to go and bring up the Peppermint Mocha? I confess I never did like the PSL, I'm a Mocha girl.
And I'm sure the PSL understands, it must know it's only a seasonal drink after all.

Funny. I need to try the gingerbrad latte. I've been on a grande-nonfat-easy caramel-caramel macchiatto kick for a couple of years now.

Don't even get me started w/ the Gingerbread and Eggnog lattes. YUM!!! Next on my list is the Maple Latte baby :)
