NYE UO?

Just the thought of NYE in Times Square makes me want to hide in a corner.  We are boring and usually stay in.  We used to spend it in Atlantic City when we had a house near there, but even then we'd end up back at the house and get drunk with our friends instead of being out.  

I hate crowds and I don't like being on the road with so many idiots.

Canned soda is 115645684x better than bottled soda but fountain soda is the best hangover drink in the world. 

Did we just become best friends?!!? So much truth here! Fountain > canned > bottled.

I never really drank coffee until I had a baby.

I don't understand people that don't drink coffee. Like how do you function? What could possibly fill that void in the morning?

What gives you any motivation to get out of bed?

Diet coke!!!!

It's simply a habit I never picked up. 

Mornings are simple: get up, shower, get dressed, get kids up, make/eat breakfast, pack everybody up and leave. 

My parents didn't drink coffee either. 

Well pin a rose on your nose.

Maybe she has kids that sleep?

They sleep now.  But those early years of 2u2 were brutal.  To this day if I have an hour to myself my first thought is to take a nap.

Bubbler has a totally different meaning for me.

It's the thing you put at the end of your dock to keep the ice from crushing it.  Right?

A bubbler is a water fountain. 

I thought bubblers were from Milwaukee?


Being from the Milwaukee area, I always though it was weird as a child when someone would call a bubbler a water fountain.

Canned soda is the worst.

I don't drink coffee, I drink Coke in the morning.  I have never liked the smell or the taste of coffee, and my husband used to never drink it either, but had to cut out his red bulls, so he has gone to coffee and now I have to smell it in my house.

The thought of something so sweet so early in the morning makes my stomach turn over.

I just dozed off at my desk. I woke up because I heard myself snoring. ::embarrassed::

Doing much of anything except staying in on NYE is overrated. Last year I drove us home from downtown and we witnessed (and were the first people there) a terribly bad wreck. Car flipped like 6 times to avoid hitting us. Called 911 as my H ran to help. 911 officer insisted I tell her if people in car were dead or alive (they were alive). But man. It was terrible. We were with my bffs and all decided no more going out. This year is a pj party and board games. Lol

Eh, I drank coffee and diet coke all day long until I was training for a marathon and I gave up caffeine. Now I only drink it when I feel a headache coming on and it gives me the shakes.

Why did you give up caffeine to train for a marathon?

My training partner who had run previous marathons said caffeine and alcohol dehydrate you. So we would just drink crazy amounts of water instead. It wasn't supposed to be a 100% thing.

Aunt= Ant

Purse= Pocketbook (which I do realize is a totally old fashioned term, but I can't quit saying it)

Soda= a catchall term for all carbonated beverages, aside from beer.  When ordering at a restaurant I specify the type of soda I want if I want a Coke, I say "I will have a Coke".  If it's ginger ale, I say "I will have a ginger ale."

Tonic is the stuff you mix with vodka.

Club soda is flavorless/ clear carbonated water.

I'm from/ live in  NY (downstate).

I feel like I haven't been a very good board member lately. I've mostly just been talking about myself and complaining about shit. So, sorry about that. I'll try to do better.

My tub is like this. It's a bitch to clean though so I rarely use it.

Apropos to coffee:

I just went to make some at the office. The bag of grounds had been left open. About a tablespoon of dry grounds was strewn across the countertop, in the sink, and on the floor. Coffee had dropped across the counter as well. The reusable Kcup was left in the machine.

My coworker walked in and we started to (in a friendly way -- we get along really well) harass each other about whose fault it was.

Her: Did you just make this mess making your coffee? GOD!
Me: No, I am innocent! YOU just made coffee. I heard you!
Her: No, I didn't!
Me: Who made coffee, then?

Icily annoyed voice from next room: *I* made coffee.

Silence.

It's the super awkward substitute who complains to our manager every time she comes about how unfriendly we are.

We all just walked away uncomfortably after I cleaned up her mess. She didn't offer to help.

A southerner saying the "u" in aunt is worse than hearing a Baltimore accent say...anything.

Ant it is, then!

Like all my coworkers have this accent. 

I am so very sorry.
