There's Got to be a Better Way!

Location: Coffee House.

The woman at my right joins a man next to the cream and sugar. She asks him:

"Do you dress up your coffee? I just have mine black."

The phrase "dress up" in relation to coffee immediately pulls my attention away from my current revision of the short story I'm working on. This is why it's difficult for me to write in public

I was explaining to my mother what a fabric shaver is the other day. She didn't get the point, and I felt silly for knowing what it is, though I don't have one.

I love this as much as I love those commercials, because they are so melodramatic, they truly move me because they make me full on belly laugh. I wish my biggest problems were the pills on my sweaters.

And coffee attire is such a great phrase, and it is one of those things that could say so much about a person, so much life is in the details

Agreed! As someone who "dresses up" their coffee in a healthy winter's layering of milk and sugar, I'm always curious how people "dress" theirs.

This Fabric Shaver really is such a shocking device as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't believe it. However, I have been watching Shark Tank lately (a TV show, are you familiar?) so I get to see all kinds of fun inventions people come up with. It's fascinating!

Summary: Life is strange. Haha.
