05.06.2010: The Obsession......

My obsession.....the elusive Starbucks cup!
For the past year, I have been on the lookout for this priceless Starbucks cup....double insulated, take home, plastic, refillable....Sbucks logo. What could be better?? First introduced to this beauty by Christina last year...who got one for herself...but not me :( I don't hold it against her though, because who knew that it would become obsolete for the next 6 months. Turns out this hot baby was flying off the shelves, and Sbucks only released a limited amount of them. Sbucks employees stopped putting them out on the shelves and hording them for themselves. They were selling for $70 on ebay...then could not be found...even on ebay for MONTHS!

So, Vince and I were in Vegas for work....walking by the Starbucks at the Rio...and low and behold...there is the treasure sitting there on the shelf staring right at me!!! I stopped in my tracks and bought the only 2 there!! I went back after dinner and asked for more that may be hidden in the back...and bought 3 more. Whooohoooo! Should have sold these puppies on ebay for some cash, but instead gave them to the other wonderful ladies in our lives that we know would treasure them more than anything...well, ok, that might be extreme.....but it is close!

Anyways, everything you drink out of this cup tastes better...I drink more water now in a day than I would in a week out of one of those substandard non-Starbucks cups. I only wish I had pretty ice...my ice is too white...I need pretty Sbucks ice...then it would be PERFECT. Alisa even had the great idea to drink our wine out of it....not that most of our wine needs any help in the taste department, but hmmmm...it is a thought!! :)

Beautiful..........
