Roses on the ceiling...


*yesterday morning i perched myself on a stool at cafe habana and doodled for a bit between bites of oh so delicious huevos rancheros and sips of a steamy cafe con leche (decaf..ah pregnancy)...while i was drawing, my ears were listening to the conversation between the waitress and the new gal who in was in training...the experienced waitress was going on and on about side orders, salsas etc and then she said, "the only free thing here is white mayonnaisse"...and then the bartender added "and hugs"....yeah...white mayo and hugs...funny, right?
