Horoscope and Your Coffee Order

Every morning, I make a pot of coffee – an 8 cup pot, which usually means I drink 3 large cups. I sweeten my coffee with less than a teaspoon of raw sugar and I lighten it with a splash of either nonfat half & half or nonfat milk. My coffee tastes like coffee. Simple.

When I go to a coffee shop, it’s a little different. I might order a mocha or a latte, but I feel foolish saying words like “venti” or “grande.” Instead I say, “I’d like a medium-sized latte with nonfat.”

I had a boyfriend who would give  an order that went something like, “Give me a triple shot venti in your smallest cup….” I was confused by this because I thought “venti” referred to size of the cup. This man was happiest with a cup of coffee in his hand. He had a big fancy machine that he used to make coffee at home. He would bang and clang and make the noise of 5 of your average baristas. He was serious about coffee.

I found an article on coffee and horoscope, which I found to be entertaining, but not very accurate. Both the ex and myself are Leos.  Here’s what a Leo might order (or in my case, not so much)……..

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Face it. Every Starbucks customer knows there’s a whole other language being used beyond those clean glass doors. Leo thrives on the pseudo-Euro drink names and the insider’s jargon that rolls off their tongue with a seeming lack of effort. That’s why this dramatic, showy soul is more likely to order the Dulce de Leche Latte, Venti as a favorite drink than any other. Besides, with all that caramel and sweet milk, the big pussycat living inside every Leo’s heart will lick its whiskers with great relish!
