November 9, 2009 - Yesterday began quite tragically. Our coffee maker DIED while Ian was trying to make the morning coffee. He went to heroic lengths trying to resuscitate it. Unfortunately nothing worked. Mourning was intense, yet brief. A quick trip to Target resulting in a new valued "family member" entering our lives.

Ladies and Gentlemen.. I present to you... my morning coffee.


- OK all joking aside it really was pathetic how zombie-ish Kylie and I were yesterday morning. We just stood there staring at the coffee maker. We had looks of total disbelief on our faces as we push buttons, shook the old machine and wondered what we were going to do. Thank goodness Ian bought me a french press pot for Christmas last year. It totally saved the day.
