October 23, 2021 HARD HABIT TO BREAK

 

NEW ADDICTION---Pumpkin Spice latte with oat milk from Starbucks. It HAS to be STARBUCKS. Believe it or NOT--there' s a HUGE difference. I know a grande cost $6.50--which is RIDICULOUS--but it is worth every penny.  DD  is probably half the price--BUT--it's sickeningly sweet and fake tasting. I'm NEVER GOING BACK. I'm sure they're  both-- VERY FATTENING--So if I'm going to splurge--It's going to be on the best. It's like ice cream. Why eat crappy ice cream--when I can enjoy Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey right? Same goes for  a hot fudge sundae. If I'm gonna get one--it's gotta have real hot fudge-- real whipping cream-- and extra nuts too. Or eat a cake from Stop & Shop when the Cake Lady is far superior.  I have a friend who only drinks Budweiser. I don't understand. Why drink a Budweiser when I can have a Guinness--or Carlo Rossi when I can have Cabernet Sauvignon--or Bukoff  when I can have Grey Goose. Sorry--Getting a bit carried away but you get the drift. Why waste calories on JUNK--when I can have the good stuff. I only have ONE life to live. Better enjoy it.  It's a no brainer.  I'm just going to finish sipping my latte while I review Peter Swanson's new book Every Vow You Break. The main character in this thriller  set in New York City is Abigail Bakin, newly engaged to Bruce Lamb, a millionaire IT man. On the weekend of her bachelorette party in California, Abigial has a little too much to drink and has one last fling with a man named Scotty. Although she is guilt ridden, she decides to put it behind her and devote the rest of her life to Bruce. After a very elaborate wedding, the couple honeymoon on a secluded island in Maine where Scotty appears. Is he following Abigail and what does he want? While Abigail ponders her situation, strange things begin to happen on the island and her perfect husband suddenly doesn't seem so perfect. Find out what happens to Abigail, Bruce and Scotty when you read this page turner for yourself. Its a mystery with many twists and turns of about 300 pages or a 4 mile run that will keep you guessing til the bitter end. Enjoy.
