you know what really fries my bacon?

... a foiled plan to be a cheapo!

At my local starbucks, every 8th coffee you purchase is free. So as a miserly practice I get the cheapest coffee (house blend drip) for the first 7 and a super duper starbucks classic fancy coffee as my 8th. Today, I swore this was my 8th coffeee.. so being the cheapee that I am and needing to maximize the free-ness.. I ordered the biggest most expensive coffee on the menu only to learn that I bought my 7th freaking coffee not my 8th and a vanilla biscotti to boot.

Total damage: $4.99

damn... damn.. double damn!!!

PROOF: there is something out there for everyone...

Yeah.. I finally DID IT!!! I joined a fantasy celebrity league!!!

That's right... uh huh..you heard me.. It works just like fantasy sports leagues, but instead of your players scoring points for a touchdown or homerun, they score points for crazy outbursts, divorces, new boyfriends, or whatever other crazy BS these celebs get into.
Pretty fun huh? I thought so too...

So while the lot of you are flipping stations sunday and monday nights trying to keep a tally of all of your different players, lamenting over your draft picks and trades, I'll be flipping casually through my US Weekly, Star, In touch, .. ya get the picture...

I'm part of the "team firecrotch league" (FYI -- for you lay celebrity gossip followers that's a dig at Lindsey Lohan. )

My manager alias: "Scoop" tee-hee ;-)
