a mediocre dreamer

Along with my favorite season, comes my favorite seasonal beverage. Since I've been painstakingly separated from my beloved California-based Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, I've succumbed to my cravings at, oh, cringe at the thought, Starbucks! Rest assured, however, that my weakness is only temporary and I will soon return to supporting the local mom & pop type cafes and coffeeshops.

Besides, at $4.12 a cup, my tall, skim Pumpkin Spice Latte doesn't come cheap.
