It would be an ugly thing if I had caffeine daily. TOO MUCH ENERGY!

ION, I think I am going to allow myslef to buy a fancy cat carrier with part of my tax refund. Maybe not the most exciting treat for one's self, but it should last a long time and will make taking them to the vet much much easier.

I rarely make or drink drip coffee. I've got a Braun cappucino maker and that's what we tend to drink in the morning.

Except JZ is off coffee right now and drinking tea instead.

In the mornings I go to Starbucks' for a latte. In the afternoon I get a tonier and smaller and tastier latte at Peet's.

Someone was asking the other day about NYC milk having two sell-by dates. (Kristen, I think?)

Anyway, here's a post explaining why, if the information's useful (or interesting).

You need them to make a double decker version of this: [link]

I try not to be judgmental about people who don't have emergency guest coffee.

If I'm a guest in someone's house, I figure I drink what they have. And if I need caffeine that they don't have, I can go get some. No big. When I'm visiting my folks because they asked me to come by and help them set up the garden for spring/put pictures up/move furniture/etc. I'm usually feeling less guest-like and more give-your-cheap-labor-some-perks-already-like.

I carry emergency teabags for places that only have decaf coffee. because I will end up with a headache, about 50% of the time if there is no caffine. My folks drink decaf - but they have two coffee pots so they can make both.

although that is not what I am thinking of getting. too expensive.

Hah! I was just about to post that very link.

I always say "soda". I think I use BOO-tique, though I honestly don't think I've ever paid much attention. And I usually call ATMs "the cash machine".

And, my job is going through ANOTHER restructuring after we just went through one this past August. I'll just call that the suck.

I am looking at this one. They would both fit. [link]
