right?i, however, have created a monster.
i thought i had bought a thoughtful and charming Christmas gift, but in reality i purchased the Mercedes of addiction enabling devices; a Tiffany platinum coke spoon or a Swarovski silver crystal bong.
ladies, gentlemen (and all those in between): Stephen is a Stovetop Cappuccino Addict.
every night, after dinner, he needs a cappuccino; if he doesn't have one, he gets ornery and bit huff; occasionally he gets twitchy. if that's not the harbinger of an addiction, i don't know what is. not that i'm one to talk. i am, after all, the CawfeeGuy.
usually, i have two or three cups of fairly decent coffee at work. years of working retail and leaving my cup at the register, has made me indifferent to cold coffee, so i tend to nurse my two -to-three cups over the whole day (much to the chagrin of my co-workers). Outside of work, i rarely drink anything but coffee: dark, strong, sweet coffee. the kinda coffee that could (conceivably) wear the paint off a classic Buick and is reputed to put hair on one's chest. therefore, the only negative thing i can say about the Mukka Express is that it doesn't allow for a stronger cappuccino. the cappuccino it makes is light and sweet; like the coffee mom served me when i was 6 or 7. because of my penchant for strong coffee, there are times when i need to pass on the Mukka's "coffee lite". however, since it makes two cups of cappuccino, Stephen has taken to imbibing both.
this wouldn't be noteworthy except that dinner is usually 2 hours before we go to bed and by the time we settle down for the night he's now a different kinda twitchy...and chatty...he gets very chatty when he drinks alot of coffee. it's actually kinda cute...except that while he's being all adorably twitchy and chatty, i'm all lie-down-y and sleepy.
so yeah... i've created a monster:
a handsome, sexy, twitchy and chatty monster, but a monster nonetheless.
Dr. Jekyll and Mister Coffee.

It took me e reads to make it through to the end. Hilarious.
Still though - I have no answer - has anyone seen a Swarovski silver crystal bong? I am fixated. I need one.
I know! But think how Euro-hot he is...I bought my guy a french press and I just can't help but think we live a little apartment inside the beauty of france.
Imagination does wonders...sigh.
Zaaaaapf*sharp intake of breath* My Italian professor rails,rails I say against the drinking of cappucino later in the day.Oh well...too late to change now.
We got a Braun Tassimo machine for the crimbo and I'm ashamed to say it makes the best cup of Earl Grey.Strange how quickly such shame passes.
