Breakfast |
John: I hope you didn’t miss me too bad last night. He leans against the kitchen counter eating a slice of pound cake for breakfast.
Me: Don’t you mean, you missed me? I am staring at John as he leans against the kitchen counter eating a slice of pound cake for breakfast.
John: No, I wasn’t in bed much last night. Couldn’t sleep. He washes down pound cake with a drink of milk.
Me: When did you leave the bed? I make coffee.
John: I got up around 3:00. From 3:00 to 6:00 I wasn’t in bed. He eats another bite of pound cake.
Me: I was never there. I slept in Tate’s room all night because you were snoring. I smell the coffee.
John: Oh.
Me: Yeah. You never noticed I wasn’t there. I pour coffee. I need coffee.
John: Yeah I did. That’s why I couldn’t sleep. He eats another slice of pound cake.
Me: Uh-huh… I sip coffee. Steaming. Hot.
John: I forgot we had this pound cake.
Me: And so you are gonna eat the whole thing this morning to catch up?
John: Maybe.
Me: Ok.

I ate a pound cake today, but I gained two. – Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not For Sale

haha..well, I haven’t been to bed, yet, and I hate coffee. I could probably use a cup right now, though…haha…I really enjoyed reading this, Talya. It’s a cool style of writing, and once again, I felt like I was there with you. The cake made me hungry, and the coffee smelled great! It woke me up a little bit, too!=)

After a night of NO SLEEP AT ALL – I could and would eat the entire cake if I could reach it! That was sweet he said he couldn’t sleep because YOU weren’t there. ๐ I could literally be gone a month before anyone would notice I wasn’t here. ๐ Whine Whine WINE! ๐
