I've Spoiled Myself (again)

Whew - I have to admit, I've been on edge all day. For some reason I didn't remember that the "Take Over" starts tomorrow. Yipee. Yeah, I love waiting......

Anyway - the big news today? Yeah, I lost my temper. I stayed dignified, stated my position clearly and - most important - consisely. I was not accusing but I also didn't back down. Then....I went out to the parking lot and paced a rut into the asphalt. Arrgggghhhhhhh. I just don't get it. Business is business. It's about making things run smoothly and cleanly. So that there is little hassle and lots-o-profits. Maybe I just come from a different school of thought.

But anyway - let's talk about happy things. Shall we?!

I bought a new coffee pot. Like I said, this one started the death dance this morning. It's been on it's last legs for over a year, so I really can't complain. And - not to be morbid or anything - it's replacement ROCKS. I even got it on sale - so the day wasn't a total waste.

Now, if you know me at all, you pretty well nailed it if you guessed the first thing I did tonite after work (and checking my blog) was to get this puppy up and running. Oh, I can set it the night before. (the other timer was long gone) I will once again awaken to the sound of coffee grinding, and like a symphonic snooze alarm will then be nudged gently with a beep letting me know that the coffee is done. Sweet Lord - what have I done to deserve this?!?!?!?

Now - if you are not a single, coffee lover, that arises very early in the morning you may not appreciate just how happy I am about this. It's the next best thing to someone waking me up with a cup of coffee each morning. Ahhhh - sometimes life can be sooo sweet.

You see - I really am an easy girl to please. It's those simple pleasures in life that make each day just a little bit brighter.

Check. Check. Check.

"It's those simple pleasures in life that make each day just a little bit brighter."

Indeed it is, and though I eagerly await the day they invent a coffee machine that pours the coffee for me and hands it to me, I'll second that emotion...
