a not so secret blog

Yesterday there was an arrival of some sample coffee Keurig flavors, including black tiger (super dark!) and revv pulse (gives you an energy boost!). There was also a flavor called iced french vanilla coffee which I'm sure is the same as french vanilla coffee but with ice but I was like wow this looks awesome!!! So I decided to make it.

Note: I practically never make coffee or drink it.

First I put the ice into this adequate looking cup and then put the Keurig cup inside the machine and pressed the little cup button. However, because of all the ice, the coffee reached all the way up to the rim of the cup and of course started overflowing as soon as I started adding stuff and stirring it in. I added a full packet of Splenda which gave it a really weird sweet flavor, and as if that wasn't gross enough, I then added some non-dairy creamer (it's all we've got at the office!).. which did not dissolve, again due to that hard cold culprit - ice. Basically I drank enough so that I could carry it around without anything falling out and once it was at my desk I ignored it for the rest of the day. So much for awesome!!! iced french vanilla coffee.

Then at my mom's company's cookout there was this WATER SLIDE but I didn't bring a swimsuit. Also the oldest kid on it was like 12, except for this one dad. But Lyle brought his trunks so I was like whatever I'll just go down in my clothes. The shorts I was wearing are these ones that are slightly big on me, and when they got wet they just expanded!! So then I walked around for the rest of the time holding them up. I briefly contemplated sporting a sag, but decided it wasn't the right look for me.

My goal for this weekend: Catch up on my Economist subscription!! I've gotten 3 so far, one that I've read like 1/3 of (the good third too), one that I've read maybe 2 or 3 articles out of, and one that is coming today and is probably already in my mailbox which is laying peacefully in the grass with the ants.
