Could you just sit with me here for a while? Let's just sit here and have a cup of tea, and if you don't mind I'll tell you about my day. Imagine standing in line at Blue Bottle Coffee (the best of the bestest) knowing you're not getting a creamy dreamy latte as wafts of fresh espresso tantalize you and then looking at the table next to the barrista and there are TWO BOXES of Miette cupcakes FOR FREE.
That's like, I don't even know what that's like--maybe it's like, I can just die here with a latte in one paw and a cupcake in the other. But I held fast to the fast. No coffee, no cupcake. Then a part of me screamed AND NO FUN!
We're standing in line for El's decaf, and this man with adorable child who kept poking me while she blurted "purple" and then jabbing me with her stuffed giraffe, this man, he says this about the Inky Thinky fast. "Why would you do that? Those are all the best things!"
What are the best things?
Giving up all the best things, except sex. That's what this month is about, it seems. But is it really?
Do you want more tea? No, me neither.
Thanks for sticking around. I suspect I'll ponder this tonight and dream of purple giraffes in a jungle of fluffy icing and towering cupcakes.

Have tea "during" sex.
A little "ginger peach" anyone?
Ooooh those cupcakes look yum... you're a strong woman! :P
First, that teapot. I think you need a separate entry on the provenance of that teapot.
Second, those cupcakes. Did you see "Amadeus"? That scene where Salieri feeds Mozart's wife "nipples of Venus" or whatever? That's what I see. But anyway.
Be strong, young soldier! As my good friend Mary Lou said to me when hearing about the travails of my first semester of grad school, "Oh, oh... I know. I know. It's awful. And it's going to get so much worse." She was right, and yet in retrospect... of course the whole thing was this great experience.
Bon courage. xoxo
hi ingie bingie

spj, perhaps you should try a dog biscuit instead of toast and butter :)
Thanks for all the shout outs.
OMG... those cupcakes (Nipples of Venus, indeed!). And they were FREE??? I don't think I could have held fast like you (congrats on your incredible fortitude).
This is my alternate and imagined scenario: You shove those cupcakes in your mouth all at once, writhing on the floor in ecstasy. Shocked by seeing you covered in crumbs and vanilla fluff, the man flees the place holding tight to his little miss adorable, who holds you in highest esteem for the rest of her life.
Hang in there, girl!!!
