The Other Man

March 2nd, 2009. Filed under: Monday's Musings.

I have to make a  confession.  I’ve been obsessed with another man lately.  For three days I’ve had thoughts of him almost constantly.  This man has enticed me.  Made me promises.  Has been telling me how much better my life could be if I let him come home with me.  Promises and more promises of satisfaction and delights. 

I couldn’t take it any longer.  I caved in Saturday night on the way home from work. I stopped by one of the places where he hangs out.  I even had to ask another man to help me find him.  There he was in the back.  What a relief to see him!  It didn’t take much to get him in my car.  A little sweet talk and there he was in the seat beside me.  I could hardly wait to get him home and make him comfortable.  He has certainly warmed my heart and put the smiles on my face since then.

I’m sorry, Consumer Man.  I had to do it.  Three days of drinking instant coffee and I was eager to bring Mr. Coffee into our house.  He’s very comfortably ensconced in our kitchen.  And he’s certainly making me happy.

    I can’t imagine 3 days of instant
    nor do I want to.

    I”m happy for you to have real coffee now 🙂

    Me, too. Three days of instant was about three days too long. The only thing I can say is that it was better than three days with no coffee.
