Ornery's Wife said...

Hopefully this doesn't disqualify me from winning, but I have never been to Starbucks. I know, it's a sacrilege in this day and age. We have several near our house, but neither Ornery nor I drinks coffee, and well, it just seems like that's what you should get at Starbucks! At any rate, I'd love to win a blog design for one of my satellite blogs, so please count me in!

Melanie said...

Oh, I need help, please count me in!

And I don't drink coffee, so the closest I've ever been to Starbucks is just in front of the counter at the in-store SBs in our local Target and Kroger. Do they sell hot chocolate? I could get behind that!

LeAnne said...

Oh, PIMP MY BLOG!! PLEASE!!

reprehriestless warillever said...

I would love a blog design, but I don't *do* Starbucks. Does that disqualify me?

Something about paying $4 for a bitter cup of coffee just doesn't suit me. Now Dunkin Donuts, that is an entirely different matter......

MoneyCommonSense said...

I would love a new blog design! My blog couls use some updating. Thanks!
Mercedes

I really could use a blog makeover. As for starbucks, due to my religion we don't drink coffee, but I do like their plain old everyday hot chocolate.

SB said...

I am soooo boring. I only drink Hot Chocolate at Starbucks. But I do make a mix at home (from scratch) that tastes EXACTLY like the Mocha Frap thing. My husband has a slight attachment to those drinks so I had to create them from scratch to leave some money for retirement..

:)

Pick me. I need some excitement.

Victor and Bethany Maxson said...

I would love this. I'm a nursing mom, though and we're on a tight budget, so I don't frequent Starbucks...

Jennifer said...

Believe it or not, I don't drink coffee or anything like. I guess I'd have to say hot chocolate then?

I have wedding photos in Starbucks, lolol.

My favorite drink is a tall nonfat maple latte, even though SB was silly enough to discontinue it.

I still say that the very best thing I ever got from SB was my Hubs. (we have our 15 year anniversary this August!)

My fav Starbucks drink doesn't fall into the coffee category, it's a vanilla bean frap. I'm not into coffee so much, if at all, unless I'm really cold and my husband has a hot drink in his hand and it happens to be a 'girled up' coffee. :)
