Less Is More? (Mini Sugar High)

I have to apologize that this week's posts will have relatively little about workouts since the evil Boston Marathon coming up on Monday is keeping me from having interesting runs that I can write about.  Instead we will discuss one love of my life...

So I was at the Starbucks again today (I do not spend my days loitering around Starbucks until they tell me to stop harassing the Baristas, I swear) and I noticed the new "Starbucks Petites".

Ok that's a lie - I noticed them the minute they came out at Starbucks and here's why:

I CAN BUY DELICIOUS SWEETS WITH LESS GUILT!!  


They are small, and we all know that very small pastries, just like pieces of cookies or edges of brownies, do not contain empty calories.

Now I am no health nut, but Starbucks totally caught onto my general desert MO:  I'd pay almost as much for a tiny delicious pastry as I would for a giant bear claw.

And these, my friends, are pretty beautiful  (especially you little lemon bundles of joy in the back) :

So this brings me to my questions of the day:  

1) Are you ok spending more for a tiny fancy treat, or are you more of the bear claw kinda girl (guy)?  

2) What's up with the cake pop?  Were these just invented, because I now see them everywhere and they seem to be taking over the world, one bakery at a time!  

Have a great night, y'all!  (Thanks for readin').
