benjamin button

so it was the first fridaycation of the summer

hooray!

i slept in til 8 ayem!

hooray!!!

a very long

 it seemed

 involving dream

 kept me from wanting to wake/get up 

but

 i did

do any of you wear/use a bite thingie

one of those plastic protectors

 that are supposed

 to keep you

 from

 grinding down your teeth?

mine has deep gouges from clenching

mine also seems to keep me from totally keeping my mouth shut

hey! no snarky chatterbox comments please

not being able to close

ma bouche

 completely

 results in drool

 ugh

on my pillow 

double ugh

tmi?

ha!

anyway

i got myself together 

 wanted some fully caffeinated coffee

 got dressed

 headed out

 to

 my favorite coffee purveyor 

irving farms

on the way 

i saw this

adorable pup

waiting for the light to change

of course

 i had to crouch down snap a few pix

when the light changed

 we all crossed broadway

 it turned out 

we were 

headed to the same place

his person and i

 had a short conversation

about dogs

 not 

being 

allowed indoors

 at

 food selling venues

 here

 in nyc

 but

i couldnt resist mentioning i had just returned 

 in paris

 and

 it turns out

 in philadelphia 

they are

i said

how adorable is your puppy

 only to learn

 he was not a puppy at all 

but 

a 

12 year old!

another person

 sitting outside

 sipping java

 commented

 he's a benjamin button dog

hence

 the caption

 of

this 

overly

 long

 verbose
