Cuppa the Day – My dear husband stayed home sick this week. "I used some of your new coffee. I had to churn it….errhm… chop it… blend it?" "Grind it, Ken?" He needs to keep his paws of my bean grinder as he normally just makes ground coffee. He inspired me though so this morning I made a latte from the Blogs of Bravery blend. That’s it. Hands down. This is my favorite. It just has this strong, tartness to it that gets me ready for the last day of school before Easter Break. HALLELUJAH. AMEN. That was both for the coffee and the vacation.
Sam, the officemate, provides so much blog fodder it isn’t even funny. Well, of course, it’s funny. We have this language all our own and sometimes I call him The Roommate or my Partner in Crime. We were busy making schedules and organizing books (who are we kidding? I was doing the book stuff since I’m picky about that) when, on Monday, he was reminded that it was my birthday.
Sam: "It’s your birthday? Happy Birthday! When are we gonna slobberate?"
It’s not unusual that he would just make up a word, but "slobberate"?
Kelly: "Ummmmm… did you mean celebrate?"
Sam: "Yeah. That’s it."
Kelly: "Soon. How about Friday. And no more slobberating before work, buddy."
Last week, Sam bought me a present. But not something that was normal, you know. That would just… make sense.
Sam: "I have a present for you."
He first leaves the room to run to his car and returns with a bag. Inside, is another bag. Of beef jerky. Sometimes I’m dumbfounded with this man.Luckily, he offers an explanation.
Sam: "Because I’m always taking the beef jerky out of your desk drawer. Plus, I like it when you sit over there and gnaw at it and tear it apart."
Kelly: "Eeewwwwwww. But…I look so…" (I’m thinking the word is "stupid" or "goofy")
Sam: Animalistic? Yeah. That’s why I like it. You’re like a lioness. AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH. (He spends a few more seconds imitating a lioness.)
Roommate trade anyone? Really. I won’t mind giving him up. It’s not like he’s a Mensa Reject or anything. Takers?
