I have been trying to stop drinking coffee and soda. I almost kicked the habit and then we got these sweet looking plain white paper cups at my work. I was compelled first had a coffee in one and then a Dr Pepper. I love the simple white cup. I am sitting here at my desk and I realize that I did not even want coffee or soda I just think the cup is cool.
What is wrong with me.
I enjoy certain things and the way they look. I should have gone into marketing or something. I don’t know who I would have marketed to exactly but I think that would be a fun field of work. Yes I did dvr “mad men” but I never got around to watching it and it started erasing itself.
Today I decided that boots and jeans would be a cool look for me. It is a fun way to go to a show or to kick around in for a little while, but to work, and then to a meeting after work? Yeah, pretty darn ill advised. My shirt is just a smidge too small and it is not just small in the tummy where I can’t stop growing it is small under the arms, my jeans, the ones La Mex loves on me and I don’t know why other than they are kind of tight in the arese, the boots I rescued from Uncle Jerry my ultimate hero who got them at a yard sale for a dollar. They are old and broken in and scream ultimate cool. I look pretty cool the image is there but I am uncomfortable, and I don’t need the sugar in the Dr. Pepper I am drinking just now either but the white paper cup, it called to me. I feel cool with it in my hand. Steve McQueen cool. Old Mercedes convertible driving south on California’s hwy 1 cool. Simple and elegant.
I love the look, I live for the cool but naturally I go back to comfortable.
I should have had water in my unassuming white paper cup and I should have worn my James Dean khaki pants and comfy worn slip-ons. Cool and comfortable could have come together.
I am trying way too hard. Trying to make this post make since and trying to achieve the next level of cool. But lets face it this is a ramble on and I am only as cool as feel, and I fell so uncomfortable that I am not cool at all. This Dr. Pepper is way too sweet for my tastes. I am growing out of it just as I am this shirt.
Happy Tuesday.

Daine-a-laine-ee-loo,
You know, we all think you’re cool but not for any of the reasons you listed.
Cool all in your own way, because you’re in a class of your own.
Seriously, now how cool is that?
