Friday Fun Time!
It’s Friday! Woo hoo! In honor of getting to the weekend relatively unscathed, we at Magical Words are challenging you, our readers.
The four hosts of Magical Words were asked the following question:
“You’ve gone to the local coffee shop to indulge yourself for an hour. What do you order?”
Their answers are:
A. A large chai tea latte, non fat, with a couple shots of raspberry. A low fat coffee cake, either blueberry or cinnamon. Or a cinnamon Danish if I’ve been virtuous all week. Man…That is just sooo girlie. I shoulda said a black coffee, and added that I topped it off with a shot of brandy from a flask in my tote. I’ve done that before too, in my wilder younger days.
B. Coffee makes me jittery, hyper. My hands shake under the best of conditions; give me coffee and I’m a total wreck. I’d get a Chai Latte. And sugar. Must have sugar. A big soft oatmeal raisin cookie maybe. Or chocolate chip (also big; also soft). And because work has no place in this fantasy, I’d bring my laptop and spend the entire time cruising around Ebay.
C. I’ll order the darkest hot chocolate on the menu and spend the next two hours copyediting manuscripts. Hrm. That doesn’t sound much like indulging myself, does it?
D. A medium latte, no sugar and no flavoring, and a toffee bar, if they happen to be in stock. I swear, every baked goodie I fall in love with goes out of stock. I used to love pistachio muffins, but the coffee shop that sold them went out of business. Maybe I should publicly announce my love of bran-carrot-banana cake, just to watch it vanish, too.
So here’s the challenge - whose order is whose? Post in comments with your answer. The first person who guesses all four answers correctly (we’ll announce on Monday morning) will receive huge accolades and the pride of being our first winner. And maybe even a toy surprise if we can arrange it!
So start guessing, and have a great weekend!
Man. Even I can’t figure out which is which.
Faith
I’m waiting to see if my darling husband can guess which one’s mine…
I am staying out of the voting for now ’cause I know yours dear Kestrel.
I have been around Faith enough to have a strong idea of her order.
There is a clue in one of the orders that allows me to lean towards who I think it is, so that leaves the last one to fall in place by default.
A - David
B - Faith
C - Murphy
D - Massy
Am I right?
Misty, I bet that even an omniscient being can’t get that one right, there are 16 possible combinations and I bet I will get them all wrong, but I like winning, so I will try!
A - Faith
B - CE
C - David
D - Misty
Terribly bad guessing, even getting one will be good for my psychic guess.
A=Faith
B=Misty
C=CE
D=David
A-David
B- CE
C- Faith
D- Misty
A ~ Misty
B ~ C.E.
C ~ David
D ~ Faith
Just reading this is making me jones for a Turkish coffee!
Ya’ll are way off….Guess again.
Then how about…
A - Faith
B - Murphy
C - Massy
D - David
???
OK, here goes…
1. Misty
2. Faith
3. David
4. CE
A; Hunter
B: Massey
C: David
D: Murphy
Here’s a clue….
I had a cup of hot…something…at an Indian restaurant on Friday….
Faith
Here I go again!
A ~ David
B ~ Misty
C ~ Faith
D ~ CE
Since Faith offered a hint, here’s one from me… I have a serious emotional aversion to raspberry.
Are all of these really wrong? If so, I am at a loss. Without having read anyone’s guesses, I would have said the same as the first attempt from Mark Wise. So I’m going with that same guess.
And let me just say that if the first one is not David, I protest that it’s unfair to call something girlie if you are in fact a girl. Not that you can’t do it, but in a contest like this, it’s kind of cheating.
Chris said, “Not that you can’t do it, but in a contest like this, it’s kind of cheating.”
I’m a Scorpio… It’s against my nature to play fair!
Okay, I’ll give it another whirl now that y’all have dropped a few hints.
A–Faith
B-David
C- CE
D-Misty
And now that you mention it, I am not a girlie kinda girl.
I *hate* ruffles, most shades of the color pink, and giggles. Do *not* giggle around me unless you are less than 12. It gives me hives.
Not girlie.
No way.
Faith
David
Faith
Misty
CE
1-CE?
2-David?
3-Faith?
4-Misty?
I’m so late to the game that y’all probably don’t care anymore, but there it goes.
