The Bet

Sunday was just one of those days that nothing could go wrong. I just woke up in a cheerful mood. I knew from here on out everything was going to be wonderful, which in my mind meant there was going to be no more snow. So, when I shared my optimistic outlook with my friend she did what any sane person would do; she took advantage of my euphoric state. She proposed a bet: if it snowed within the next week I treated to Starbucks coffee. Of course if it didn't I would be treated to a coffee. Now, I couldn't retract my previous statement that might ruin my good mood. So I agreed. Loser bought the winner a Starbucks coffee. (In my opinion getting Starbucks is a win-win situation!)

Needless to say, before the night was out I was owed my friend a coffee. So much for my good feeling.
