Title: Behold the Power of 2/3 of a Venti Mocha Frappuccino, no whip, with Hazelnut
Post by: Listener on January 22, 2006, 01:38:59 PM
Today since 8:30 when I woke up, I:

1.  Cleaned out the office refrigerator (brought it home over the weekend, since it's small enough to carry). 
2.  Figured out that our "good" hose, the one we've not used since we moved to Atlanta (June 2004) doesn't have the right female end to fit the spigot behind our house, and I'm going to have to go to Home Depot to buy the right adapter.
3.  Learned that, after a while, even duct tape can't keep a cracked hose from leaking.
4.  Fixed my garage-door remote and replaced the battery in my wife's.
5.  Went grocery shopping.
6.  Put the groceries away.
7.  Started the first load of laundry (my blanket, which is king-sized so it takes up the whole washer).
8.  Folded all my clothes, all my wife's clothes, and all the linens.
9.  Put away my clothes and the linens.
10.  Stripped the bed and the pillows and made them up again, sans my blanket.
11.  Transferred my blanket to the dryer and started the second load of laundry (colored clothes).
12.  Unloaded the dishwasher, then loaded it again.
13.  Cleaned out my dresser and made room for more clothes.
14.  Set out the carpet runner in our bedroom to cover up the coax cable that runs across the center of the room.
15.  Tidied up my nightstand and my half of the bedroom.
16.  Started the dishwasher.
17.  Ate lunch.

Imagine what I could've done if I'd drank the whole thing...

I don't think that's possible.  I'm not as jittery as I was at 12:00, but I'm still quite awake.

Besides, football comes on at 3:00, and I'm not missing that.

I got up, shared some fruit loops and grapes with my neice, went back to sleep, got up, drove home, and now here I sit.

Why do you go to the grocery store?  Just so it looks like you might cook one day if the desire strikes you?

I had to cook yesterday.  It was ghastly.

I buy fruits and veggies and bagels and non-cooking-needed and microwavable stuff.

Cheese and asparagus tortellini with parmesan and garlic butter.

Of course, the tortellini were premade.  As was the parmesan cheese and the garlic and the butter.  But I totally had to use the stove and a pot and a colander and I put them all together.

Really?  If it's cooked correctly, it's wonderful.  But if it's overcooked even a bit, blech.

Unlike some people, I don't smell my pee.

When you have asparagus pee, you don't even have to try to smell it.  It suffuses the room.

Then, no.  I don't have asparagus pee.

I don't believe he's a pee smeller, either.  Also, he didn't get any tortellini.

Without the power of coffee, this weekend I nonetheless managed to clean up the basement, organize the last 15 months worth of bills and pay stubs and epay receipts that had been collecting in brown envelopes, cleaned off the kitchen table (believe me, it's a job), read 2.5 novels (about 900 pages total), cook two meals, hit the grocery store, organize the DVD racks, go through all my old Firefox bookmarks to see which ones are still valid, create a Pandora radio station, and watch about 16 hours of taped TV shows (about 12 hours if you remove the commercials, which we fast-forwarded through).

Wow.  I had caffeine and basically just managed to watch a bunch of mindless tv.

I haven't had any caffeine and I've managed to work for an hour and a half, nap for about two and watch a movie.

Now I think the Sudafed is making my palms sweaty.  Is that weird?

Gosh, I didn't read the rest of this thread, but yesterday I had two venti Caramel Frappuccino's.  One had a shot of espresso in it.  I'm surprised I didn't have the shakes.
