Return of The Spazzy Cupcake
I babysit two girls on Tuesday afternoons. Yesterday, I was dragging all afternoon and the girls’ mom called me to say that I’d need to pick 10-Year-Old up at school because her bus was late from a class trip, 8-Year-Old was at a friend’s house and I needed to pick her up, fixings for dinner were in the fridge and I needed to pick up the co-op vegetables from the doorman downstairs.
I decided it would be a good idea to get coffee beforehand and thought a red eye would be the best preventative solution.
The barista wasn’t paying attention when he made the shot and made two instead of one.
“Do you just want both of them?” he asked. “I made too many and I’ll just throw it out if you don’t want it.” I am not one to waste espresso.
So I drank my two shots of espresso and my tall coffee in about ten minutes and this was the result:
Who wants dinner? Let’s get in the cab. I have to get the turnips. Did you do your homework yet? Can you practice violin? Do you know how to play Hey Ya on the guitar? Do you want me to teach you? etc. etc. etc.(8-Year-Old: “What’s wrong with you? Have you been drinking?”)

LOL….
I did 3 shots of espresso one night, better half and I went out that night.
On the way home we had to swing by the store.
After the store I “crashed” in the passenger seat….out like a light.
hahahaha
I once made a full espresso cup. I couldn’t get through half of it; my heart started beating waaay too fast.
Yeah, you been drinking – just coffee though, haha.
Haha, cute little 8-year-old.
Do you know how to play Hey Ya on the guitar? Do you want me to teach you?
that seriously made me bust out laughing.
Hah! When the kids ask you that, it’s time to pause a second.
LOL! What you call a red eye, our local coffee shop (not a Starbucks) calls a shot in the dark.
I can’t imagine how wired I’d be after 2 shots of espresso and a cup of coffee.
Did the 8-year old really ask you that? Classic.
I gotta learn how to do that dance the cupcake is doing.
hahaha the spazzy cupcake!
D
hehe it’s so cute.
it looks yummy tooo….
I’d be a spazzy cupcake if I drank that much caffeine but like you, I’m not one to waste the espresso. That would be horrible. You made the right decision
That’s hysterical!
too funny!!!
hey ya on guitar… awwwesome
cutest entry EVAR.
like your “currently reading” bit. my foray into klosterman happened in
reverse (when he fell upon the sports world) but he’s a hip slice of
post-modern afreshism.
HA! I can just imagine it. lol
Wow Natalia. That’s what you get for taking two shots instead of one. And how does the 8-year-old even know what drinking means? Hmm….
coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee (big deep breath) coffee coffee coffee coffee….
In the words of “Crank That Soulja Boy”: YOU!! Crank that Spazzy Cupcake YOU!! Crank that Spazzy Cupcake, Spazzy Cupcake up in this whoa, watch him crank it, watch his roll. Watch him do the Pillsbury and Super Knead that dough now watch him YOU!! Crank that…ok, I’ll stop..lolol.
I can barely hold down one small cup of a hot cocoa or a latte and one shot of espresso. How the heck do you expect me to hold down a tall cup of coffee and two shots of espresso?!
@Lithium98 - I wish, gel man. You have no bones. And even if you did, how would you do that? Are you double jointed? What’s my middle name? Who the heck are you? (staggers toward door) Ow. Man, I’m REALLY starting to think asking the guy for three shots of espresso and a small coffee was NOT the best idea for me to cram for my next test wasn’t such a hot idea. I feel like I’m having a hangover.
Haha! Sounds like me after having a large mudslide!
hahahahahahahaha
Hahahahaha! Awesome!
Love it!
