My Walmart grocery store was feeling more like Nascar speedway this morning! Grocery list fisted and focused shoppers were zooming around all over the place feverishly piling copious amounts of all the traditional Thanksgiving fare into their shopping carts as they wizzed by me in reckless abandon!  It was turkey and ham mayhem in my local Walmart today, let me tell ya!  I'm thinkin' about asking the manager to equip the carts with horns, blinkers, bumpers and those beepers that go off when you put it in reverse  or at least require hand signals when changing lanes! LOL!  As you can imagine, I grabbed my few essential items, put it in high gear, zoomed through the self check fast lane and raced right outta there! Whew!  

As I was exiting I had a hankering for a cup of coffee and since there's not a Starbucks close by, I decided to put it in neutral and take a pit stop in the instore McDonalds and grab a decaf and refuel  while reading the paper and see what's happening in the world.  I rarely do this, so I took my time as I sipped my mediocre Ronald McDonald java, read USA Today and people watched, all the while wishing I'd taken the drive to Starbucks to get my pumpkin lattee fix.  And, lo and behold! While reading my paper I came across some great news that made my lattee lovin' heart leap and am so excited to pass along to all my wonderful holiday lattee lovin' bloggin' peeps!  Today thru Sunday from 2-5 pm Starbucks is having a BOGO (buy one get one free) on all their yummy holiday drinks!!!  Glory hallelujah and pass me another pumpkin or gingerbread lattee with extra whipped cream, ya'll!!

So what better way to gear up for the holidays than to grab a buddy and race on over  to Starbucks and get your holiday lattee groove on (or go by yourself and drink them both...JK! LOL! : ))!     I'll be there with holiday bells on!  And, uh...I'll take a pumpkin scone with mine please! : ))

Rev up your engines, buckle your seat belts and let the holiday race begin, ya'll! Zoom! Zoom!

Hugs and Sweet Holiday Blessings!
