The irony...

My birthday was August 1.  Shortly before my birthday I registered a Starbucks gift card so I could receive a free drink on my birthday. 

On the morning of my birthday I arrived at Starbucks eager to spend a morning reading in the coffee shop sipping my free soy cinnamon dolce latte.   Unfortunately, when I announced it was my birthday and presented my gift card I was informed that to receive my free birthday beverage I would need a coupon I should have received.  I had never received a coupon.

Today, August 30, I was surprised when I checked the mail.  I finally received that coupon for my free birthday beverage!  A free latte at last! 

While I think the free drink is exciting, I think the best part is what the coupon had written across the back.

"You know us.  We'd never miss a birthday."
Oh really?
