 "See how the Sacred Old Flamingoes come,

Painting with Shadow all the marble steps:

Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches

Within the Temple, devious walking, made

To Wander by their melancholy Minds."

~William Butler Yeats

Priscilla's Earthly Delights

It really is the simple things in Life
that can pull it together.




This week is just two simple white
coffee cups picked up at a local store.

and some sweet smelling soap!

I was raised on 5:30 am Coffee Milk by The DaD.

Hence, the relaxing affect that coffee has on Me.

The Chook Man and I LoVe Coffee.

The Chook Man and I met at a Coffee Shop. 

With the added bonus and entertaining bit 

of Me walking straight into a pole and bonking my nose.

Claims have been made that this is when Cupid, laughing so hard, tumbled, 
letting loose his Shot to the Heart 

and LoVe came stumbling in...

These are perfect for our afternoon break,

or early Sunday if we are Lucky enough for The Mini Us's to sleep late, and catch a cup ooor, two!, while hanging out and listening to Kasey Kasem's Top 40 from many many Billboards long ago...

(Priscilla says, 1975 was a damn good year}

(as she raises her "Hello, Lover" coffee mug in salute)

The soap is Hugo Soap from Whole Foods. 

The great thing about this, is you can cut your own,

allowing you to sample it, 

without spending your Whole Paycheck.

I believe this is the WhiteChocolate/Pathchouli?

These soaps lather really well, and have some heavenly scents.

Priscilla's Earthly Delights ~ 6

Now we can have Improm~tutu Cappacinno KaraoKe at home...

The Chook Man totally sweeted me out by buying a cappacinno machine.

Even Priscilla needs to put her feet up and relax for a bit.

I love CoFFee.

My DaD would bring me the most perfect cup of CoFFee Milk 

many times at 5am when He was getting ready to work.

All warm and toasty and cozy, go back to sleep.

Therefore, CoFFee is relaxing to Me.

I love CoFFee Shops

I remember the magic of coffee shops when they were new, 

a gathering of artists, cops, students, people with stories and adventures ...

it was so CooL.

Then They became Corporated and Chained.  

I have to compete with suits talking loudly on their cell phones, 

and students who have come to the coffee shop and expect you to treat it like a Library. 

This isn't the Library, I'm allowed to talk. Pfffhht!

cause, Improm~tutu  Cappacinno KaraoKe will not be held back!

and the prices! good grief.

The Chook Man,
decided that The Priscilla and I {cause Chook's my King} 

should be able to enjoy this luscious beverage any time we damn well please. 

Even sky clad if wanted!

After a bit of google`izing, I found a decent one. 

We headed off to the 3Bs but alas, the website had been wrong. They didn't have it.

The Chook Man being the Techno TiTan that he is 

{ I got my Nerd with my Superhero! winkwink}

whips out his Swiss army cell phone and withing a short digital flip of the timekeeper, 

we discovered that Dillards had them.
Lucky Me,

it was right across the street, in the mall, but across the street.

Before you know it we were riding the great escalator to higher standing.  

And there is was.

And it was on sale!

pa pa pa POW!

Kismet Lucky 13...

Priscilla skipped around in circles like a 3 year old.

ok ok, you may be thinking, its just a coffee machine. 

Yes, yes that is correct, but its what that coffee machine means to me. 

Indulgence without the expense.  

Its meditation in a cup...all relaxation and rainbows.

And believe it or not,

Staying at home ALL the time is not all cracker jack.

So as I bring this session of Earthly Delights to an end,

I raise my cup to you and say 

Hey, how are you?

Got a Story?
