I am a popsicle fiend. What's your favorite kind? I've recently discovered that Starbucks makes coffee-flavored popsicles and it's been a blessing on my life.

Scrambled eggs with ketchup... ♥
You were meant for me and I was meant for you.

[mercureal]

A for liking scrambled eggs with ketchup.
A+ for referencing the jewel song my mom listened to a thousand and more times during my adolescence, if that is in fact what you did.
