I love Holly for many reasons, including this:
“And after extensive experimentation, I’ve come to the conclusion that the coffee at Whole Foods is laced with crack, because every time I drink it, I scare the interns. They often have to peel me off the ceiling and quietly remove sharp objects from my desk. I wish this were true of the two-bite vanilla cupcakes at Whole Foods, because maybe then I’d stop eating them too.”
Mmm, vanilla cupcakes. I could use one of those about now.
This morning, I made the ONLY coffee in our house, the remainder of a package of pinon coffee leftover from Wade’s Christmas stocking. (I could swear I’ve written that EXACT SAME SENTENCE before, but I can’t for the life of me find it.) I like the pinon coffee, mostly as a New Mexico novelty, but this morning I was desperate and it was delicious.
It was also, apparently, laced with crack because by lunchtime, I was having that same peel-me-off-the-ceiling day Holly describes, although without the interns or the cupcakes.
Mmmm, vanilla cupcakes. So delicious.
To counteract the crack-laced pinon coffee I brewed a pot of French roast (before the crack kicked in I stopped at the grocery because HA HA I kept thinking I REALLY NEED MORE COFFEE and somehow it didn’t occur to me that if I was thinking in ALL CAPS that maybe I really DIDN’T NEED ANY MORE COFFEE). So, by lunchtime, I was all jacked up on the junk.
And I had written 2200 words (more, actually, but I had an entire paragraph that was about something ENTIRELY UNRELATED to what I was writing about)–2200 words NOT FOR THIS WEB SITE. Look at me, with a Project! No, I’m not telling you what it is.
Where’s my coffee? And WHERE ARE MY CUPCAKES???
So after two thousand words and two hundred cups of coffee, I’d had it. I spent a while IMing with Jen, which mostly consisted of typing FUCK over and over (I was telling her a story about my insurance company and my pediatrician, which fortunately ended with the bill being paid IN FULL thank you very much) and giggling when I accidentally typed TIT (because it’s funny! after 200 cups of coffee). After that was over, I was still hopping around and couldn’t write any more and I really wanted to go shopping. But that didn’t seem like a very good idea, what with the whole checking account situation and all. I seriously thought about e-mailing Holly to say CRACK! IN THE COFFEE! SEND CUPCAKES! but she’s in Vietnam and has a lot going on.
I wonder if she has any cupcakes.
But! Shopping! I spent the afternoon browsing for shoes and hair product and books and putting it all here, just for you. And over there in the left sidebar you can get a little preview of what I found and why I love it! Isn’t that fun? I did it ALL FOR YOU! You’re welcome.
And now I’m tired and I should probably sleep because tomorrow I have to finish the Project which means I will have to consume a LOT more crack coffee and probably some cupcakes.

I’m first? That can’t be true.
Anyway, I’m delighted to read about your shopping. I want everything. Which is a bad thing. The skirts. The shoes. The books. Now, could you find me a perfect purse? Thanks.

Don’t worry, MJ. I’m not done.
There will be purses. Lots and lots of purses.

That explains so much. You were very happy about writing the word “tit” by accident, too.
Hair product? Ooh, I must go see what you looked at. Hair product is an important staple in my life nowadays, though I have little to no hair to product.
I have a raging headache, and it’s midnight, but I shall go eat some birthday cake now because you said “cupcake” one too many times in this entry.
Not my birthday– Christian was ten yesterday.

Nothing like a little crack to get you through your day! My crack is dark chocolate and Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.

Hey, I finally made vanilla cupcakes yesterday! Actually, I didn’t, but my mom stopped by and made them for me while I wandered in circles wondering how I managed not to make cupcakes all day. I’d send you some, but by the time they get there, I don’t think you’ll want them any more. I probably ought to just go eat them myself.

Um, I have some guacamole tortilla chips I’d be willing to share, but you have to promise to take them without hurting me. Which in your current state I’m not convinced is possible.

Ha ha ha, I did the same thing today and now I am running to the bathroom. Oh, I am so in trouble, but clear headed and alert as can be.

This post made me giggle like a little girl. And now I want a cup of coffee….

This post made me all jittery. Thanks! I guess.
The project sounds very interesting. I’m intrigued.
P.S. Target has some leopard print flats, too. Isaac Mizrahi. You can get them on target.com. $29.99. Can’t beat the price.

Well said. I would be happy to read anything else you might contribute on this subject.
