Life Lessons: Ode to Computers and Coffee.

Eventually, I will be 'staying elsewhere' as part of The Separation of The Mister and The Super. Neither of us is sure when this will happen, or -truth be told- if it actually will happen. If we really take a close looksie, I've nowhere else to go at the moment!

However, we have both been trying to prepare me a little for being on my own. First, we purchased a cute little macbook to help me along with my portability as I will be traveling. The Mister has been trying to talk me into one for quite some time now, and I've finally given in. I'm quite happy with the purchase as I, an audio person, am a long time mac user. The portability thing is certainly helpful and frankly, I hold the opinion all things should be as travel-friendly as myself. Lest we forget, I'm a pretty darn teeny person: Portable, if you will.

I am 'Actual Size'.

The next bit of preparation was extremely necessary and I am embarrassed to admit my ignorance in the subject. The Mister has taught me how to make coffee. I know! How on earth did I make it this far without that nugget of information?

I have always been a hot tea drinker, not just because I enjoy it more, but because I had no idea how dried up beans became a steamy, delicious, hot beverage.

Last Saturday he dragged a sleepy Super into the kitchen and showed me all about everything that is coffee. We began with beans, a nifty little grinder and a fabulously cute coffee press. God help us all if I ever have to use one of those fancy machines. On Monday, rather than making coffee for himself (or me, for that matter), he left a little cheat sheet. The Mister knows full well that Monday means "COFFEE, NOW!" upon waking.

I must admit, my first pot was a little on the light side and frankly this Super likes her coffee black and strong. After four days of practice, I have made the coffee press my bitch and receive it's contents with satisfaction. YUMMY. (And to be totally honest...I like the coffee I make far better than what The Mister produces!)
