Need…caffeine…or something. Dangit. Where’s a soda machine when I need one? Shouldn’t they be at my every beck and call? Speaking of…did you know… That evidently several dozen people were killed in this state alone by soda/vending machines? Use your imagination to figure out how. Found that statistic amusing. Which is bad. Mostly bad.
Okay. There’s soda in the fridge–I just checked. Probably flat as a pancake, but y’know… I guess I’ll just have to decide how desperate I am. Not very desperate if I’m sitting here updating instead of pouring myself some, or better yet, working! Yeehaw.
Um, good morning?

when you find caffeine, will you share? i could use some too…been up since 5am, dealing with airports and waiting for my ride to pick me up after getting lost in raleigh…
sleeeeeeepy…
Surely. I found some…I broke down and drank some flat soda. It helped…but was slightly icky. Wouldn’t recommend it.
I think we just need naps. Yeah.
This is why you’ve gotta try coffee.
Start with mocha…transition to espresso. My current favorite afternoon pick-me-up is 2-3 shots of espresso “con panna” (= w/ whipped cream)
It’s really very good.
naps are good.
no time for one, though…
i’ll just have to get coffee.
I’ve had almost as many people try to talk me into coffee as I have getting a cell phone… I dunno. I do love the smell of the coffee aisle at the local Harris Teeter, but that’s about as far as it’s gone. Besides, I doubt my personal economy could support an additional occasionally expensive beverage at this point. But we’ll see. Y’all have certainly laid out for me the roadmap to liking coffee :o)
Flat soda is so gross. But I do love coffee.
PS – So cool that you got a raise… Praise God! Very exciting that you’re planning a trip to Europe :) (had to catch up on commenting all in one)
PPS – Thanks for the text message.
repeating another’s suggestions…
coffee, while I don’t support the daily drinking thereof, is great for a pickup.
however, I still think you should go for tea ;)
Flat soda is gross… I don’t know why I drank it. Regardless, I’m steering well abreast of it this morning. Ick.
Praying for you today. Hope it’s been a good morning so far :o)
I’m trying to get into tea in the most casual, roundabout manner possible. Meaning basically I’ll have one cup of peppermint every few weeks and say I’m trying to get into it. Yeah.
The practical food side of me is perpetually at odds with the gourmet side of me (admittedly not a big side). There are evenings when I’ll want to cook an elaborate dinner and cleanse my palate with some Château LeSnob ’93 before dabbing my lips with a cloth napkin, and then there are evenings when three energy bars will do me for food. On those days when I’m leaning towards the former attitude, I’ll make a point to drink some tea, though :o)
Dallas was cold. the call was hot.
Pepermint is my favorite flavor. It is something that I always have in stock. =)
hey! I’m back and have a great outlook on life right now, mine, future, the nations, the generations… so driving somewhere soon…. /es/\e
stop being lame, drink tea already!
(I’m going for the football coach technique)
energy bars still constitute a form of food snobbery ;)
