Incident #22

I woke up this lovely Saturday morning and as per usual headed right to the coffee pot. As I was about to put a filter in, I noticed the filter cup had coffee grains in it, I then took it out so I could clean it. Upon getting to the sink I saw I had dishes from yesterday so I got distracted and started cleaning them. When I got to a coffee mug I remembered I needed to make coffee. I went back to the coffee machine and ground my beans, put it in the filter, filled it with water and put the pot back under the machine and pushed start thinking everything was in its place. Then I went back to dishes (holy productivity pre-coffee!) and that's when I picked up the filter cup and gave an awkward look back at the coffee pot which was spitting coffee and ground beans all over the counter. I needed coffee.

Incident #21

This morning I woke up and discovered my coffee grinder had gone on strike (stopped working). First I started chopping my beans but that was taking far too long. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. Now usually I ignore all "ideas" that I come up with prior to coffee for my own safety, but I was desperate. I grabbed my food processor and began putting it together. It was going just fine until I tried to remove the unneeded slicer and slice indeed it did, to my finger. I needed coffee (and now stitches).

Incident #20

I woke up late this morning and decided I'd grab coffee on my way to work. I rushed around my morning routine and grabbed my car keys and off I went without any bumps. Until my house came out of nowhere and attacked my passenger side mirror on my way out of my drive way. A little bit of duct tape and some curse words later and I was on my way again. I needed coffee.

Incident #19

This morning I made coffee as per usual and then got dressed while I waited for it to brew. When I returned to the kitchen there was coffee all over the counter and floor. I had forgotten to put the coffee pot back into the coffee maker. I needed coffee.

Incident #18

I went to Lowe's (because that's the best way to start out a Sunday morning) for various items for my rental unit. I picked up some paint and the Lowe's employee asked me what I was painting. I replied with what I thought was a reasonable answer "A wall." She looked at me as if I were crazy and said "I would hope so!" followed by laughter. Apparently I was supposed to be more specific. I just didn't understand. I needed coffee.

Work Coffee

Also known as Ewwwww. At least it gets me through that 2:30 blah hump.

Incident #17

This morning began like any other. Alarm went off, I promptly hit snooze, it persisted 9 minutes later and I got up. I assume I went about my usual business of showering, dressing, taking the dog out, but to be honest I can't really remember anything until that first sip of coffee. I was running late so I grabbed a cup from the coffee place around the corner and was drinking it while driving. Everything was fine until the lid popped off and hot coffee poured (it was more of a pour than a spill) onto my lap. I guess I was not awake enough to put the lid on properly. I needed coffee.
