I have a weakness.
The love affair began in Detroit, like any other. The girlfriend away, I was looking for cheap thrills in a moment of weakness. It was just going to be a drink but the dessert case had other ideas. With a tractor-beam lock, I felt powerless in its presence. No doubt, that delicious little morsel proved to be an amazing experience. Only to be matched by my return to the same airport only days later. In a breakdown of will power, my passing by became a relapse. Only to be relapsed at the next Caribou Coffee that I would run across. Folks, it’s a great one. The Detroit airport one was the best, if you’re ever there. Oh….and the poor girl in Mequon when I walked in with my camera to take a picture. It was a messy display case – which she was embarrassed about – but you can see with a polarizing filter and a huge aperture, that muffin looks ten times better in the picture than it did in real life.So! Speaking of a girlfriend away, that will soon be remedied with some splendid time together. Since she’s not into the whole visiting-me-deal, I’m flying to Heathrow on the 21st and taking the Chunnel to Paris to spend Christmas with Esther. She thinks it’ll be cooler than Milwaukee *yawns*. Wow, that’ll be fun. Neither of us speak French, so it’ll be a classic American-French fiasco. Oh, am I giving away the secret plan, Esther? Then we go to the French Alps, assuming it all works out, for skiing which will likely be a highlight of my life. From there, it’s on to Amsterdam so that I can check off another European country (I visited France while in school) then back to the States for Brent’s wedding. I have sooo much to do before then, it’s unreal. But being an excellent procrastinator, I won’t even entertain the thoughts of productivity until the last minute. In which case, I’ll crank out weeks of work in literally minutes. Saves a lot of time that way. I’m saying all this to say that you have until the New Year for my Christmas presents. Which is code for I will be taking until the New Year for your presents. =)
