Our coffee machine is broken. The On/Off switch broke on Saturday. Fortunately, it broke in the "On" position so all we had to do was unplug it before we went to bed and plug it in to make fresh coffee. Paul and I are always breaking coffee machines. I think we just kill them. We drink a LOT of coffee in this house. I have bought all different brands at all different prices and I have come to one conclusion: Buy a cheap-ass machine. So - every time the thing breaks.. off to Kmart I go to pick out yet another machine. I figure we get about 10-12 months out of each machine. Not too bad at all. I refuse to pay more than $19.99 for a machine. I got a GREAT deal at Kmart - a White-Westinghouse machine, with a digital clock, timer/auto set, pause and serve (very important in this house - who has time to wait for a whole pot to brew?) AND a bonus grinder... All for the one time price of $12.00. Woohoo! New coffeepot!
I saw a link to this picture from the BarCodeKing. I bet this photographer makes some BIG bucks off of that image...
Oh - I had a couple inquiries as to HOW I celebrated the completion of my final last night... I took a shower and watched "Six Feet Under" I am so glad Jeremy Sisto (Billy) is back - he is just adorable He looks MUCH better cleaned up instead of being all shaggy and scruffy.. Hey - can I celebrate or what!

Ok - this is what happens when you don't post for a while... UGH!
Your Daily Horoscope: Distance indeed makes the heart grow fonder. Even if your tribe is scattered, you can still keep in touch. This is a good time to send an email or make a phone call, Gemini. Despite promises to communicate from both sides, it seems as though the responsibility of keeping the lines of communication open has fallen on you. Take this opportunity to discuss the things that you'd rather be doing, and why you're not rich and famous yet. Teachers have a hard time holding their students' attention. (Ha - they ain't kidding about that)
