JZ, insent.

When your coffee pot betrays you by exploding and leaking all over your counter while you're walking the dog.

And, of course, then there's the cleaning up you have to do...

All before even having coffee.

Insult, meet Injury.

I'm home from work this morning. Ellie was sick much of the weekend and just when I thought she was getting better, she puked all over us both last night at 1 am. My parents happen to be visiting, however, so this also means extra time with them.

Are there more picture of Jilli? I saw one on LJ, but I'm looking for more.

Aw, vw, that's just a kick in the pants. The glass part just blew up?

Video, please.

Sadly, there is no photographic evidence of anyone pole dancing, as the club was too dark for the cameraphones. I'm sure none of my friends will believe me.

I always cry when that happens

I was close, but decided to be angry at the stupid coffee pot instead. So, I muttered under my breath at the coffee pot while I was cleaning it up. It was very soothing to be able to say whatever I wanted to the inanimate object.

Insult, meet Injury.

You're telling me!

Poor Ellie! I hope she feels better soon. And have fun with your parents!

Are there more picture of Jilli?

Not that I've seen yet.

The glass part just blew up?

Oh, no. I have a thermal coffee pot. The machine part exploded--sending coffee grinds everywhere, and making it impossible for the coffee to brew.

Poor Ellie! I hope she's ok.

I love the Matilda pics, and six months seems like that went by pretty fast!

They're doing road work of some sort outside my window. I'd like to do bodily harm, as I slept very poorly last night. But at least I didn't have to clean up coffee stuff before coffee.

I hope Ellie gets well soon, Stephanie.

I'm sure none of my friends will believe me.

I believe you. (I've been in that bar.)

I was too lazy to make coffee this morning, so I opened a can of diet coke. Which was fine--I had cotton mouth from taking a flexeril last night for my back.

I should get moving. We need to get out and run some errands today. And I have a roast I need to get into the crock pot.

My former coffee pot did that thing. I don't know how often it happened before I tossed it. The basket would swing open and water and coffee grounds and mess would be where steaming hot yummy should have been awaiting me. Before I found my new beloved pot (coffee that is) I had a long twist tie holding it to keep it from swinging open on me. Because coffee mess all over the counter is no way to start the day.

This is the first time it's done it. I hope it doesn't become a pattern. It's quite a lovely (and was expensive...my parents got it for me for Christmas a couple years ago) pot. I hope it doesn't have to go to the trash.

The machine part exploded--sending coffee grinds everywhere, and making it impossible for the coffee to brew.

You're just lucky you weren't there when it happened, as you could have had coffee shrapnel embedded in your body. Or maybe that would have been a good thing....
