Yesterday morning consisted of sleeping in, going to get sustinence at Starbucks (yum tuna wrap, I was craving it), getting gas and fighting boredom on the internet. Towards the afternoon people started calling me, which wasn't good for my voice but it seemed to be getting better. Since I hadn't seen Luis in a while, we decided to meet for coffee, picking a new place we hadn't been to yet. Vonn ended up joining us. Well, I was on my way there when Luis calls and says the place is out of business. I didn't believe him, since it had just opened within the last year, and nothing on their website said it had closed. However, Vonn and Luis know the signs of a vacant coffee shop from experience, so I finally believed them. After some hemming and hawing we went to Chili's.

After Chili's, Luis and I went to Target. I should have gone home but I was bored. Spent a bunch of money but it was either stuff I needed (new paper shredder, shoes for work) or things I'd been meaning to get (Little Mermaid on dvd).

I turned on the tv just in time to watch Michael Phelps win gold medal #7. After a while I just needed to sleep. This morning I woke up around 7, then snoozed and had dreams about school work and not being able to get out of bed. Right now I have no voice, hopefully the DayQuil helps. I think I also have pink eye, but I don't want to go to an urgent care for just that. I'll give it one more day with the eyewash. This cold is not fun. I need to be better soon, but I also need to get some work done today. Must call Susan and get the papers to grade from her. Problem is, I'm in no mood to grade.

I need coffee.

I ENVY YOUR STARBUCKS WITH FOOOOOD!

*whisper* Can you tell me again how to do the frozen coffee?

Frozen coffee, like a frappuccino? Or iced coffee? Fraps you can't make at home because there's prepackaged ingredients. Iced coffee you can do one of 2 ways: make regular strength coffee and put it in the fridge overnight, or make extra strong coffee and dilute it with ice. I use about 1 1/2 times the amount of ground coffee (or more, I like it really strong) then mix equal parts ice and coffee to cool it down. Then I either stick it in the fridge for later or pour the cooled coffee over more ice becuase I like to drink it way cold.
