Anticipation

Right this minute I am waiting for coffee to percolate in my new French press. There are no words to convey how excited I am. Yesterday I drank an iced coffee drink right after I woke up and I was amazed how fast the transformation from groggy, grumpy Horn into functional human being took place. Seriously, apart from yesterday's coffee drink I have had coffee TWICE in the last two months (and one was a disgusting iced coffee with ice cream that I got at KFC). You all know me, so you know how shocking that is. Even though I don't know how to use a French press, and I've already spilled hot water with coffee grounds all over the kitchen table, everything is going to be amazing in a few more minutes.

In other news, last night I found my karaoke song: "Steal My Sunshine" by Len (remember?) Somewhere my sister is nodding her head, because of course I'd be good at that song, I sang it in the car on the way to high school every day for three months. I am also pretty good at "Wannabe" and "Hit Me Baby One More Time" but not so good at "2 Become One" and "I'm a Slave 4 U". Twice I looked for Patsy Cline's "Crazy", which is THE "I'm slightly too drunk to be singing karaoke in front of other people" standard, but no dice.

Ok, forget the rest of this post. It's coffee time!!!!!

I would prefer you tell me you've been abusing infants or lil ole grannies this whole time than that you've gone months with only TWO FREAKING COFFEEZ! Holy crap... Kroger + Mr. Coffee, FTW!

During training when we first got here, we took a break and the teacher said "do you guys want some coffee?" I instantly sat up about two feet taller, but then he pulled out a can of freaking Nescafe. Coffee fail!

I don't remember the exact words but...
I know it's not for me
If you steal my sunshine!
Something that is hard to beat
If you steal my sunshine!

So yeah, I know what you're talking about.

I'm back at home, but I've got the China plague and some sweet jatlag, so I took the day off today. It was fun being the same time zone as you for a little while though.
Love you!

Yeah, that is the song. It's my karaoke jam!
And I want to hear more about your trip to China. I was just thinking about you last night when someone asked me if I had ever eaten donkey. "No, but my sister did..."
