Dennis just came through here talking about coffee, and it made me realize I haven't had caffeine all day. I was drinking apple juice in my coffee mug this morning (remember the Simply Apple juice?) and have had water in it since then. I had apple juice again at lunch and I'm poor, so I haven't bought groceries (Diet Coke among those) and. . .
I have to cut myself off here and say that after he came through talking about coffee, he kidnapped two of my coffee cups from my desk (I currently have, plus the two kidnapped ones, 6 coffee cups of varying sizes, on my desk. It's an addiction, really.)
Anyway, I hadn't been grocery shopping in a while, so I didn't have any Diet Coke at home, and I think the answer to why I've been sluggish all day long. Aside from the usual "I hate my job, it's sucking out my soul" aspect of the day. So I should seriously consider going to the grocery store and either picking up more coffee for the office (even though I'm pretty sure I bought the last batch) or getting some Diet Cokes for my house.
The day started out in a sucky manner. I came in to an e-mail from my boss (she e-mails passive-aggressive things fairly frequently), and she. . .
Oh, for any of you that are interested, I got the results of the "Where Did Dennis Take My Coffee Cups?" question. He took them and got coffee for both of us. Awesome. See? Just because this is a soul-sucking environment, there is still the occasional burst of Whoo!! Not everyone I work with sucks!!! Also, Carrie just told me that my Make-A-Wish article was awesome. Go me!
So you know, I don't even feel like talking about the passive-aggressive e-mail anymore. Because I just had a piece of cake (happy birthday, Aron!) and I have coffee and all is good in the world.
Let's talk about how I've lied to you about my ANTM recaps. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. I know that there are a couple people who aren't watching the show and who are. . .not counting on my recaps, per se, but who otherwise wouldn't get the awesome commentary on the show. I'm sorry! I swear, I'll get these finished. Tonight. I will do at east one of the three on which I'm behind tonight.
So, when I went downstairs to get cake, someone asked Aron how old he is, and he said he was 25. I'd thought he was older than that, so I started to say, "I thought you were older than me." But that's not what I meant. I KNEW he was older than me, but what I was trying to say was that I thought the distance between my age and his age was greater. So then I tried, "I thought you were more older than me," but that doesn't seem right either. So how would you say that? "Aron, I thought that the number of years you have lived surpassed the number of years I've lived by a greater numeral." That sounds about right.
I'm going home this weekend!! That is to say, I'm going to Raleigh. I'm very excited about this prospect, as life around here is entirely too complicated and wretched (at work) and stressful. I'm leaving Friday morning and coming back at some point Monday, and I'm very, very excited. Beyond excited. Excited x 1,000. 4 days of. . .not here. And I get to see Katie. Katie's my sister, if you didn't know, and pretty much my favorite person ever. She's cool, which is odd for a 16-year-old. But hanging out with her is actually fun.
Ok, so I'll (hopefully) be back with an ANTM recap. I almost promise.

I'm not me without two 24 oz coffees per day. Another similarity. But I don't think I could have made it through the whole morning without. You are a brave one.
