I literally dragged Richard all over God's Green Earth last night looking for the PERFECT coffee maker. I could have picked one out for myself, but I was having trouble because I only wanted to spend about $20, but I'm tired of $20 coffee pots, you know? I was about to just pick the $50 pot when he said, "What about this one? It'd be perfect for us--it only makes 4 cups."
That's when it all came rushing back to me.
I already had one of those little 4-cuppers. It was at home, in the bottom cupboard, behind the crock pot. I had completely forgotten that Chris and Katie Sandquist gave it to us when we got married. I used it about 10 times and put it away when mom gave us her old one (which figures, since it was on the fritz--thanks, mom).
I told Richard all of this, and he very graciously said that it was ok that I dragged him from Roseville to Woodbury and back, and could we just go eat now.
I felt a little foolish.
The coffee was great this morning, though!

I was going to offer one of the SIX John has hiding all over the house "just in case we need it", but seems like you have your own stash.
I gave it to you because it dripped when you poured. Not because it didn't work. You wanted one with a timer and you pulled it out of a box going to the goodwill. lovemom
Don't you love it when your Mom corrects you?
I correct her to make her a better person. Not to mention that I don't want her making me look like I gave it as a gift. I try to fill their car with stuff every time they visit. I don't promise it all works. There is a box in storage with E's name on it, inside an alarm goes off every day at 10:15 a.m. That one is going home with her next.
