Monday Caffeination
Posted on March 7th, 2011
On Mondays, P and I usually go out for coffee. When we go to Barista, she always gets a hot chocolate and a flourless chocolate cookie. (Continuing the theme, I get a soy mocha. I know. Predictable.)
In any case, she has a ball people watching, showing off the pug (who is with us through tomorrow, now), and telling random people that she has a shark named Carla. Because she totally does. We chat, and we usually bring books to read.
Today, she asked me to have another baby (Ha! Not bloody likely!) and then told me she had lots of babies.

Not going to lie, I am jealous that your daughter has a pet shark named Carla. I want a pet shark named Chomper.
Does it make you feel better that Carla is a stuffed shark?
She’s SO adorable!
(And I totally want to steal her cookie. That thing looks spectacular.)
Love this photo. Is she a redhead? I have a special place in my heart for redheads.
@New Kid: Thank you! And the cookies are *so good*!
@Juliet: She’s a redhead for the moment (she has exactly the same hair color I do) although it always looks redder in photos. Her eyelashes are black, though, and you can see her eyebrows (both unlike me) so I expect it will darken in time!
I think I know Carla – is she named after someone in the “Under the Sea” Dinosaur Train? We have it on Netflix, so I’ve seen it once or, oh, eleventy-billion times. That cookie looks delicious and I love her hat!
Hilary, you are *good*. She is named for Carla Cretoxyrhina!
