Start early

Last week, as we always do, D and I went to the grocery store after work. Typically by the time we get done with the shopping I am quite tired, so (provided neither of us is yelling) I occasionally stop at the Starbucks, conveniently located in our store. On this particular day I got an iced tea (it was delicious!) and Dean decided that he needed some Starbucks too (he just wanted mine, actually). The very sweet barista said, "I can get him a little water, if you'd like." as he started to yell. Once the cup (with straw) was in his grasp he didn't let go for about an hour after we got home. I have to say that the lids they get can withstand a lot!
