In Need of Some Flower Therapy

Some terrible person stole my phone last night and I had to find a way to keep myself from dwelling on it, so I decided to disconnect myself (no really, I have no phone now) and visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens to see the cherry blossoms. It was Sean's and my first time there and we made sure to check the Cherry Blossom Tracker which tells you how many trees are in bloom. BBG was the best decision I could have made today. The sun was out and my mood instantly lifted after seeing a stretch of pink cherry blossom trees. Here are some photos I took of my favorite flowers and plants: 

Dunkin' Donuts: The Biggest Letdown of Spring

There is only one day in the year which I will drink coffee and that day is the first day of Spring when Dunkin' Donuts gives out FREE ICED COFFEE.  This spring freebie has gone on for at least the past three years, because I remember drinking my first Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee Sophomore year (still decked in winter gear) in Kenmore Square.  Turns out, I may not get my caffeine fix after all this Saturday.  Dunkin' Donuts announced that it will not be giving out Free Iced Coffees in March in a press release on their site:

"Dunkin' Donuts Free Iced Coffee Day is not taking place in March this year.  Stayed tuned for our new Free Iced Coffee date!"

WHAT?!  How can a brand, a national food chain that has claimed association to a very significant day in the year give up that association?  It is like asking Subway to raise its footlong prices to $6.  You can't abandon your claim.  Okay, it may be a recession, but Dunkin' Donuts could have gained some serious foot traffic this weekend if it stayed true to its Spring ritual.  I probably would have bought myself a box of munchkins (maybe its a good thing I'm not going)!!

At least I have playoff hockey, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and floral dresses to look foward to this Spring.
