I must admit that with the weather getting warmer, my mouth is watering for a tall, caramel frappuccino from Starbucks. But, what's an unemployed girl like me to do??? Well, I have found a sponsor for my addiction--my part-time employer! At the GAP, for every new GAP card account that you open (on certain days) you get a $5 Starbucks gift card; on other days you need to open up two cards to get the $5 Starbucks gift card.
Anywoo, ya girl had a stroke of good luck and opened up 4 new accounts in two days, and you know what that means?!?!?! Yup, $10 in Starbucks cards! This isn't only a great way to motivate me to sell the GAP card-by any means necessary-but it also puts food in my mouth and drinks in my tummy. I don't know if you've been to Starbucks in a while, but they now have breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, and several fattening pastries and cookies. I hope that I can keep continue to get Starbucks card about once a week...if not, *sigh*, it’s back to water and homemade iced tea...it’s just not the same!
My Favorite Starbucks Things

Your One-Stop Media Shop
How many times have you kicked yourself for jumping the gun and buying a CD that you heard was good only to find yourself listening to it once, shoving it into the CD holder in your car, and asking yourself, ‘What the h3ll was I thinking spending $14.99 on a Piles CD during a recession?’
If you’re like me this recession has put a damper on buying some of the things that you love most , like CDs, movies, and magazines. You know the li’l luxuries that make living alone a bit more pleasant. Look no further than your local library. It’s your one-stop shop for all things media—and its free. I am fortunate enough to live near two awesome libraries. I go the library-either one or the other-just about every day for everything from using the internet to search for jobs or cop that new Estelle CD that I have requested twice already.
Most libraries you can take out books, books on CD and tape, music CDs, DVDs, and even some magazines. While you’re there you can browse your favorite magazines and papers from all over the US, get on the computers, use the free Wi-Fi, join a book club or attend one of the several programs for the young and old. The one library that I frequent has a advanced website which allows you to download books onto your IPod , MP3 player, or home computer. Just think about the money that you could be saving if you got DVDs and CDs from the library and cancelled all of your magazine subscriptions and took an hour to read the ones over in the cozy, nook in the back of the library.
