After poo-pooing the frivolous economics of purchasing one of those fancy, single-serving coffee makers, I’ve changed my attitude about it.
After 40 years, I still can’t manage the formula of a 12-cup decanter while trying to make the perfect cup and yesterday was a caffeine-tripping nightmare that began in my kitchen at two in the afternoon. It tasted a little strong, yes, and I’d bought this interesting house blend from the grocery store and who knew you could caffeine-trip off grocery store coffee? It was only hours later into the orange hair, CIA-implanted microchips in my pillow theories did I take a few sleep-aids on my way to semi-normalcy. Those fancy one-cup brewing machines with their pre-measured brew pods sound like a Godsend.
When I got this tweet from @ratfacedgirl this morning, I barely knew what she was talking about. Had I won the lottery, and it was time to go pick up the check to the rest of my life?
Then it hit me: my very first Texans game and I was getting a wake-up tweet! The game starts at 7pm, the gameday crew arrives a little before the players. I have a bright red concierge shirt and my very own parking pass. I get a paycheck, but I’d do it for free. Well, kinda. It’s a 10-hour shift, and who would ask volunteers for that much time out of their day? I’d do four hours for free, how’s that?
I’d better get started on my day.
Nothing less than extraordinary expectations in comments…
But where’s the excitement in a pre-measured existence? Why deny the wonder of discovery you were getting from every pot of coffee made. Take a step back on the wild side.
Oh, and Go Texan’s

Orion, my life is positioned entirely on the wild side. It knows nothing else. Premeasured coffee pods will not kill it.
I’m a giver of the wake-up tweet? If anyone would’ve said I’d ever do such a thing 5 years ago, I woulda thought they were cuckoo. Ha.
I’m the same way w/my coffee pot…but finally figured out to add 10 cups to 3 heaping scoops and it comes out perfectly strong.
I’m going to root for the Texans on gamedays. Well, every game except for 9/12 & 11/1. But you’ll have that.

You’re a Colts fan? How did we ever become friends??
Trying your coffee formula before stepping into the shower. If you see me running naked down the street, call Q on his cell.
