My Cup Runneth Over...

I needed a mid day pick me up, and that Blue Diamond Almond lady was no where to be found. Do nuts really serve this purpose? As Seuss says, Oh the Places (I could) Go with that question...

Anyways, I DROVE thru my local coffee establishment, to get a cup of crack coffee after work today.  I was planning on siphoning this cup of joy into my belly in between getting out of work and picking up my son at school. Just to clarify I have to GO INTO the school to get him....

Now that you get the picture, I shall continue. I pull into the drive thru, order my fix, pull up and the worker is having a conversation with his co-worker calling someone an idiot. I thought of all the people I knew that fit into that category. He is spilling my coffee all over the drive thru window, and his arm. I, immediately shake my head and start to say "Thanks, but no thanks, keep that overflowing geiser you have there, because I'd prefer not to smell like a hipster that works at Starbucks" and he says "Don't worry, I spilled enough in here that it won't leak."

Dude. I know I look young, and perhaps even dumb, but I know that me taking that cup of coffee is going to lead to an absolute disaster inside this mini-van that looks like it's in the running for a taping of Hoarders.  

He forced that cup of coffee on me with such vigor, I was thinking he was auditioning for the role of Christian in 50 Shades of Gray. I had no option, BUT, to take that coffee. He was not taking NO for an answer. The drive thru window closed, and I was left holding a cup of coffee that I knew was going to cause me way more duress than the temporary caffeine high was worth.   

Now, may God bless the designers of my Toyota mini-van.  In their infinite wisdom, they provided eight cup holders that are accessible for the driver.  I picked my least favorite cup holder, knowing that it was going to get saturated with my mid-afternoon poison and I drove to the school where I could park and develop my game plan for attacking this overflowing cup. When I got to the school and parked, I had already leaked so much coffee out of that cup, I was convinced there was less than 3/4 of it left.  I pulled the lid off, and it was like the levies in Louisiana burst (again, too soon? my apologies).  COFFEE. EVERYWHERE. 

I walked into that school covered with coffee. I sat in that lobby waiting for my son, absolutely doused with a large portion of the EXTRA large coffee that some young man decided to JAM into a medium sized cup, and then force that coffee on me while discussing the intellectual inabilities of another.  

Something that you may not know about me is that I am a Godly woman. I MADE EASTER GARLAND, for Christ's sake. LITERALLY.  So today, I couldn't help but think of that part of the bible (Psalm 23:5) that talks about my cup overflow-eth-ing. Thank you Psalm 23. It sure did. All over the console of my car, my driver's seat, my pants, coats, and chin.
