it's not a habit, it's cool, i feel alive
for years i've been walking into second cup and buying a small soy chai latte without even glancing at the menu (which is just as well, because my bastard eyes can't read the menu). i love my lattes, i do, but last night i was once again at that familiar counter when i looked down and saw an ad for the dark chocolate and raspberry latte.
oh man, i thought, that looks really good.
but, of course, those of you unfortunate enough to have witnessed the effects caffeine has on me know that such things are only a pipe dream.
unless...
an epiphany.
"can... can you maybe, um, make me that with decaf?" i looked up hopefully at the barista, unsure if i was asking Just Too Much from her only ten minutes before closing.
"honey," she said, "i can make you anything on the menu with decaf!"
and it was like a whole new world opened up to me.
