You little Stinker

This morning I saw a stink bug sitting atop the fake pumpkin that decorates my dining room table. It’s past Thanksgiving, I really should put it back into storage. Whatever. I was unable to focus and I just walked past the bug, went to the kitchen, drank some grapefruit juice and toasted an english muffin. Feeling more alive, I went to capture the stink bug. As I should have guessed, he had taken off. So I finished my routine and now I am sitting at my desk and you won’t believe what I see! A STINK BUG! Sitting right by my phone. He didn’t seem very well, in fact, he might have been dead. I picked him up using a post it note and dropped him in my trash can. I am wondering if maybe this is the same stink bug as the one I found in my dining room this morning? Could he possible have stowed away in my briefcase? That’s just odd.

I hate to admit this because it’s really such a bad habit but almost every morning I spent 1.69 for a medium Dunkin’ Donut coffee with cream. It’s such a huge waste. The money adds up quickly and could be used for better things and the paper cup and plastic lid is simply wasteful. Regardless, I love it. I love the way it tastes! I love how it warms my hands. I love the steam in my face. I love how it’s like I’m suckling from a coffee-giving breast through the nipple-like plastic lid. I love the entire Dunkin’s Donuts experience. This morning, I intended to get my usual medium coffee with cream but somehow I just walked right past the store front. Next thing I know, I’m walking into my office building. “MUST GET COFFEE!” There’s a Juan Valdez in the lobby of my office building so I went there to order a coffee. Can I just tell you, not only was it more expensive, it tastes like bitter mud! I am very disappointed. I really gotta get away from Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. I think I’m addicted.
