Ok, I just had this totally weird experience with Blogger. I was trying to login in to my account (after being horribly remiss for days and days; yes, I am aware of my delinquency and I am just as sorry as you would expect) and for some reason after I typed in the URL and hit "return" the entry page for Blogger just kept loading and reloading itself. It wouldn't give me a chance to sign in! I tried to hit the link for "Sign in to Blogger" in between the page's resets, and started to feel a little like the boy in Mary Poppins who gets stuck inside a closet while they are cleaning up the nursery and every time he tries to get out the doors close again and all the toys mock him. Do you remember that part? I think that whole scene is one of my favorites in that movie.
Also the scene of everyone flying around the ceiling laughing and having tea.
Wait, what was I talking about? Oh right, technical difficulties with Blogger. But that's so boring! Why would I waste all of our time talking about that? So strange.
Well, I must have had my reasons. Since I can't figure out what they are, though, I'll just move on to another topic.
Namely, the topic of the new cafe in my town that sells some of the best hot chocolate EVER. And when I say, "EVER," I absolutely mean every single one of those capital letters. They make it from real Belgian chocolate, and the chocolate is infused with any one of a variety of flavors: jasmine, mint, chili pepper (!), cinnamon, and ginger, to name a few. I can personally vouch for the cinnamon and ginger flavors as being quite delectable.
Oh and they have great tea, too.
I sat there in this cafe, drinking down the hot chocolate and (later) a cup of tea in the blissful determination to maintain an appearance of diligence without actually being diligent. To that end, I dutifully pulled out my laptop, typed 250 words of a short story and then wrote up a "plan" for what stories I want to turn in with my next packet. Because hey, writing a plan counts as work, right? (All I can say is, it better.)
Then I went home. Which is where I am now. Blogging.
Man, it's hard work being lazy.

I'm much more of a coffee fan than a hot chocolate fan, but those flavors sound absolutely divine. Where is this cafe? If it's anywhere within driving distance when I'm down in Cali for spring break, I think I might stop in.
Of course, by driving distance, I do mean anything that takes less than four hours. :)
Doesn't sound lazy to me at all! Sounds heavenly. Gotta give yourself credit where credit is due... you wrote 250 words! You wrote a plan out! You took the time to inform your adoring public (yes, adoring) about an amazing cafe with amazing flavored hot chocolate! I for one commend you. :)
Oh, and I LOVE the scene of laughing on the ceiing! In fact when you mentioned the boy in the cleaning room as your favourite scene my mind immediately went to the laughing. And then there it was in your blog! What can I say, great minds think alike.
is it procrasination or procrastination?
well of course it's "procrastination"! it is physiologically impossible for me, a proofreader, to make mistakes in writing. so i must have typed "procrasination" on purpose, to test everyone and see if they would catch it. and you are the only one who did! which means you get the gold star!! good work!
:)
