I saw the Starbucks free pastry promotion today, but didn’t click through to print the coupon. I just ran downstairs to get a pastry without reading about it first. (Damn you Twitter! No one tweeted the coupon in 140 characters!) So I got a coffee, but no pastry. It was around 10:45am anyway, which was after the 10:30 cut-off. Oh well! I wasn’t going to run up and down twice. Free is nice, but my billable time is worth more than fattening myself up.
I’ve been using Catalina coupons from the supermarket lately, but I’ve been selective about what I’ve bought. It can’t be too perishable and if the coupon requires me to buy more than I’d usually get, then I’ll skip it.
I’m also thinking of skipping my cousins’ weddings this summer and just sending my parents to go instead. As much as I’d like to attend and see my family, it’s much more important for my parents to see them before they die. Unless I get married, there won’t be another opportunity for everyone to come together while the older generation is still intact. It’s shocking to say that, but true. I forget how old we’re all getting sometimes.

My offer still stands.
It’s partially selfish as it’d be great to try and have coffee or something.
The employees at my local Starbucks were nice–they offered the free pastry to anyone who bought a drink, regardless of whether or not the person had actually printed out the coupon or displayed it on their cell phone.
I, for one, plan to live forever.
