o.... coffee... i love thee

First, for my dear friend Carmen...

Mr Trevor Linden was in Prince George today for the grand opening of the hockey department in Canadian Tire. There were a lot of people there and it was really cool to see him. I wished I'd brought my bigger lens, but we didn't get any closer than this. There was a huge line up and really I just wanted to see him in person.. I didn't need to shake his hand or have him sign anything. Kyle was excited, but didn't know why... I explained that we were going to see a hockey legend and that was all he needed to hear... so there you go... freakin' Trevor Linden...

Then we did some shopping in PG... I got a Klimt art book which I'm going to pull apart and use for other things and then we were on our way home... oh wait... we stopped somewhere first...


EVIL - "Ok... time for Starbucks, it is the ritual and much needed fuel for the ride home to Quesnel."
DEVIL (see how evil is in devil...) "Yes, evil... it is time... I wonder what April should get tonight."
EVIL "Well she can't have anymore coffee... crazy... one was enough for a while."
DEVIL "Right... one was enough... you're right... I'm sure she doesn't want one... wait - do you smell that... oh that smells like coffee... mmmmmm."
EVIL "Stop that... right now... stop it... April, order a steamed soy."
DEVIL "Yes, April.. order the lame blah suck steamed soy... you go girl - order the crap out of that."
EVIL "Stop it... don't make me come over there... I'll kick your ass... she doesn't need anymore coffee.. DOESN'T!"
DEVIL "I know she doesn't need it... she wants it... but I won't stop you... she should definitely have that crappy sack of a drink... soy steamed... mmm that must be just as good... I'm sure of it - I'm sure she just loves drinking that CRAP."
EVIL "That's it - I'm coming over there to kick your ass... what's your problem... she was doing fine without coffee."
DEVIL "You call that fine.. you're letting her drink crap... her friends are laughing at her for drinking it... what kind of partner in crime let's anyone drink a crappy drink. That hot soy is like hot ass... just stop it ok - it isn't a real drink - suck it up and get over yourself.. it is a poor excuse for anything."
EVIL "Look... I know... you are right... "
DEVIL "What?"
EVIL "I know... I was hoping you would get her to drink coffee... what the hell took so long."
DEVIL "What? Is this some kind of trick?"
EVIL "April, get the soy... get it... get it... soy... soy... soy... soy... mmmmm you love that hot soy...."

And then out loud as I hear myself saying soy - it crossing my lips it comes out as a grande peppermint mocha soy... see I did say soy...

DEVIL "I WIN! You big loser... coffee wins again! Hooray, hooray!"

Ok so that's the first part of my story....

The second part was drinking this great cup of coffee.... because I know I really shouldn't be drinking coffee it is like a forbidden thing and today's coffee... I don't know... it just kind of chucked me over the edge. I took one sip and wanted to dive into my cup covering myself in coffee and the smell of peppermint. I wanted to make out with my coffee mug like there was no tomorrow - I didn't want that smell to ever come off me. So it will come as no surprise that I have a paper cut on my cheek from rubbing the cup against my face and that I must have tried to french kiss the lid 'cause my tongue is cut too...

I LOVE COFFEE.... may you never leave my side again... (I say this and realize this is a love/hate relationship and at some point my stomach will come in on the discussion about whether or not it is good for me.)
