I'm guessing this is more the "shoot-me-now" plague than the "let's pretend I'm too sick to work" plague?

Definitely the "shoot-me-now" plague. Oh god, shoot me now.

I would say you could "pretend to be too busy" to have the plague - but that would be insensistive so I won't - again. Hubby on Christmas break?

I hope you're feeling gooder today.

Morning Coffee...from my new Keurig coffee maker!

I'm kinda jealous right now. Those things are freakin' awesome.

It is nice. You can brew with your eyes closed (which mine are at oh-dark-thirty) and it comes out McDonalds-in-your-lap hot!

I still prefer walking down to the next building and talking with a lovely and clever barista who makes my coffee with white chocolate and foam. Making my own at 5:30am is too haaaaard.

There was one backstage at a venue, and I swear I drank thirty cups of tea and coffee because I couldn't stop using it.

I'm too poor to go to the coffee shop across the street. Which is sad, because they make fabulous coffee.

Yeah, I thought it would help cut down on my coffee intake, but it's just to easy and fast.

Sommer, making coffee at 5:30 is hard, I get that, but being clever at 5:30 isn't (or is that the barista's job)?

What 'bout y'all? any presents worth braggin' 'bout?

Being clever is the barista's job. Being sweet and appreciative is my job :-)

I received a survival book from a friend that is super cool for the book I'm writing. And I'm pleased with receiving Fallout 3 for the xbox. Oh! Also Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook by Donald Maass. That was surprising and exciting.

I received a baking dish I'd asked for, but saturday night I tried making au gratin potatoes and the dish exploded in my oven. So that was cool.

MMMMM-yum. There's nothin' like potato augratin surprise. Whoever finds the surprise - loses.

Well that sucks. I hate when kitchen appliances break--especially new ones.

I got a kindle. I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but now that I have it I do. Still not giving up my physical books though.

Dad's an avid reader with macular degeneration so we got him one.
