sweet and fluffy

i found my new love this week. sweet, tasty, warm, a great companion, makes me smile, like a little piece of heaven on earth...

their name is "soy latte"

and to think that all these years and i mocked the soy drinkers.

the "health nuts". the poor "lactose intolerant" fools who would waltz up to the counters and order.. "grande soy latte extra hot please!" with that superior whine in their voice, like they were on top of the world. i would stand there and watch them with a mocking smile on my face because i knew they were missing out on one of the finest things in life. a latte made with regular whole milk. mmm. warm and foamy and delicious. so fattening and wonderful and delicious.

until, that is, today.

i blame lamont. first, he spilled hot crappy coffee on me this morning in the hallway as i slowly meandered to my desk, trying so carefully not to spill the pathetic excuse for a latte that i tried to make in the office kitchen. i was trying to save money. i only burned my tongue and my hands.

then he IM's me this afternoon, so innocently... "coffee?"
then he takes me down the street.
then he whispers sweet soy latte nothings in my ear.

and i give in.
and i order.
and i am hooooooked.
