Desk flowers this week.The Day the Office Smelled Like Pumpkin Spiced Coffee
Who would think to put a cup of pumpkin spiced coffee into a Louis Vuitton handbag and why????
Well, I'm not going to mention any names (Twinhead), but I was dragged 10 blocks yesterday at lunch just to get a cup of pumkin spiced coffee (not for me but for T.H.). I, like a good lil friend I am, went along for the walk. This was all after the grand premier of said bag at the office!
On the way back, we stopped to get sandwiches and salad to bring back to the office. While walking thru the farmers market by our office...T.H. stops and mumbles something, then opens her Louis Vuitton satchel bag to discover her pumpkin spice coffee is spilled and is occupying at least an inch of the bottom of her handbag! Ut oh! I tried to be sympathic, grabbing some plastic shopping bags from the farmers and helped her empty out the contents. Then wiped some dripping coffee off her jacket. Wasn't funny (hehe). Then I asked the million dollar question: "Why the f......did you put a cup of coffee in your handbag?" Actually I didn't really want to know the answer, because there isn't any logical answer to that question....(sorry T.H. ;-), but there really isn't ya know).
She spent the afternoon air drying the contents of her purse. The aroma of pumkin spice filled the air.
(Yes she will kill me for writing this story, but hey, what are friends for but to provide blog material?)
Peace

Haha! We all do strange things sometimes. Thank heavens for friends like you who laugh with us and blog about those oops moments. :-)
You could have even warned her, and she still would have done it. Some people are predisposed to self-inflicted disasters...
C'est la vie Odat !
what the hell is pumpkin spiced coffee sounds terrible
At least her bag now smells like the coffee she likes so much.
I'll be she doesn't put coffee in her bag anymore.
Blog material is what is important, and you got some yesterday!!
This is a head scratcher. Why would anyone put a cup of coffee in her bag?
P.S. Nice desk flowers ~ is that wall in the background really dark blue, light blue and a greenish yellow?
Different.
At least it wasn't a latte ;)
lizza, let's hope she laughs too!
buffalo, I couldn't warn her, I didn't even realize she did it!
paul, so true!
nosjunkie..lol...oh it's the flavor of the month in all the coffee shops here...I don'[t particularly like it but others live for it. ;-)
mike m, Yes it does..lol...I told her she should invent pumkin spice perfume now.
patti, there is no answer to that question....and as for the wall,it's really beige..I took that pic with the "cartoon" effect on my phone camera. Pretty neat huh?
hammer, Actually I think it was!!
Peace
Holy mackenzie! Man am I glad I have more common sense than that! At least pumpkin spice smells good. =o)
hey...she could bring back scratch and sniff...with a new twist...scratch and sniff purses!!
This is Twinhead...and my feelings are hurt! It was an accident. The bag was tall, the coffee fit and VOILA! I thought, at the time, that with the coffee (with a cover and in a bag) in my purse, I would be sure not to spill it, as I was sure I would if I held it in my hand and strolled through the city during lunch hour.
I may step down.
Twinhead!
This message is for Twinhead - I feel your pain. I, too, have sat in the presence of our dear Ms. Odat, and recognize the negative influence she has on our common sense. Although the good clean fun and uncontrollable giggles may be the reason that we love her so much, the tendency to do things we normally wouldn't consider when in her presence seems to be an unexplained power that she has over the masses. I blame her entirely.
Don't step down!
Deb
Hahaha good story! :D
I'm sorry Odat, did you say something after writing 'pumpkin spiced coffee?'
Coffee in a purse, huh? Well, I guess when you play with fire...
;-)
Deb,
I don't care what Odat says about you, you are my new best friend!
Twinhead
christy...lol...was a nice aroma
claudia, great idea!
Twinhead, Get over it! ;-)
Deb, You know you love me!
Rogerdodger, Help!! they're overpowering me! lol.
michael, hmmm yes...i said a lot after pumkin spice coffee...
Twinhead, OK. Fine.
So funny that Michael C wrote here. I thought when I read the blog - is this about Michael? He loves that coffee! lol!
I admire your stamina. I would have pointed, laughed until I fell over. You are clearly a better human being than I am.
Better than if it was a urine sample. Cheers!!
I am sloshing coffee all the time....I keep it far FAR away from my purse!
Gorgeous flowers! And I always enjoy a cup or two of that spiced pumpkin coffee although it really isn't strong enough for me. But you can ALWAYS pick flowers for me!
Twinhead, rest assured, I rarely have a day when I do anything really brilliant. Most days I try not tripping over my own feet. Welcome to be human! You're in my league, and Thank God, I'm still breathing. YAY!
Monty
claudia, I was laughing so hard, I had to bite my tongue to prevent Twinhead from seeing me laugh...
matt-man, good point!
katherine...another slosher huh?
CEO, sure, I'd pick flowers for you anytime!
Peace
pumkin spiced coffee! Sounds intersting!
I have to ask...was she a blonde?
casdok, Some people love it...
silver, hmmmm, NO! lol
This was a great post, Odat, and fun to read all the responses.
