(im sure the owner of this antique store in brooklyn didnt have this kind of photo shoot in mind when she put some of her products outside...but little did she know I was sharing some very important, top secret nutrition information with this woman statue).
I want to quickly update all (18) of you on an earlier post about an above average coffee man who makes small talk with me each day. This morning I walked out of my building as always with multiple bags on my shoulders; cell phone tucked into the right “butt pocket”, i pod in the left butt pocket with headphones stringing up along my clothing and into my ears, and my one available hand left struggling to unzip my wallet and reach for the dollar bill to pay the coffee man while my keys almost fall out of my pocketbook, and the morning paper is in my mouth (I curl my lips so that it is not actually in my mouth, but yes I know some of you may still find this disgusting). As I approach this gentleman like the human hurricane I appear to be, he smiles and greets me with “hello my friend”. This morning however, he changes it up with an “(deep sigh of relief…reaches down below the window, pops back up with large cup) I saved this last one for you!” Me: “Get out of town!” Him: “yes, I ran out of them (the cups) this morning and kept one to the side for you, because I know you need the large iced!” (smile). Me: “Oh. My. God. You. Are. An Angel”.
Now I don’t want to brag, but who are we kidding here? I have never felt this loved! The thing about me is that I am all about the little things. I think little things are better than big things. I think laying in central park under a tree is a joyous occasion. Sure, I tend to be ridiculous sometimes, but my dramatic personality also makes me very passionate, & it is that same passion which showed on my face, that made the coffee man feel like a King today when I told him 24 times that he made my day by simply putting a plastic cup to the side. He is such a kind person. I think I need to make him some of Lilias soup and bring it to the cart one day. Maybe I will do that though when it is not 100 degrees outside. This heat has been something to sweat over, and iced coffees will continue to make me smile every morning, until September comes that is, and along with the seasons changing; so will my coffee order. For now though I am wrapping up my summer with 18 days left of my seasonal job, making plans for the remaining days off, & trying to have as many beautiful moments as possible. While the fall is my absolute most favorite time of year, this summer has been sweet to me and I plan on soaking up the suns last rays before bidding adieu to it. Now this is a mini blog, meant for the purpose of updating. I have plenty more to say (as always) but will hold until it is all better edited. Until next time: I leave you with music...Peace. Love. & vegetarian meatballs
