This morning I got up and went to the coffee pot.  The pot has a timer so it makes itself in the morning.  This morning, no coffee.  So I hit the button and go back to the bedroom.  It is a new pot that husband bought ten days ago.  He set it up etc. so I am not sure on what time he has it set to start.  But by 5 am it should be made on an ordinary day.

Here is a typical conversation we have over such stupid things.

Me: What time is the coffee pot set to start at?

Him: Why? 

Me: Because it isn't made.

Him:  Maybe the kids popped the breaker.

Me:  No, it turned on when I hit start.

Him:  Oh, maybe I forgot to set it.

By now I am ticked off because honestly I just wanted to know when the damn thing was set for!  I don't want to be pushing buttons until I have my glasses on so like a damn fool I ask the person who set it up. 

By the end of this conversation I am mad.  Why?  :Because he never answers the original question.  No, we have to do this round about answer a question with a question then blame someone else FIRST.  He takes a simple innocent question and twists it into this long ridiculous tale that eventually bites him in the ass. 

So I asked it again.  What time is that thing set to start?

5 am

Now was that so hard? 

And I am the crazy one?

I know I need help...

It's becoming apparant that it really is time for me find the attentions of a member of the male species…....
In my blog, I wrote about a good on paper guy. I like his personality and he is a nice guy, but like I said the chemistry is not there....
It had to happen eventually....
That sometimes holds my baby....
