Coffee was a little weak this morning

Posted On July 18, 2008 | Filed Under Family

I have it made. Marilyn loves me so much. Every morning she makes me coffee and has it ready when I wake up. If I’m not working that day, all I need to do is just push the start button on the coffee maker. She does not drink coffee (hates the stuff), but she makes a real good pot of coffee.
This morning when I got up, there was a note by the coffee maker “Just Push Start”.

So I did.

After about a 5 minute brew time, I’m pretty well jonesing for some coffee. I went back into the kitchen, and got my coffee cup. I grabbed the coffee pot and started to pour my coffee.

Hmmm. This looks a little different. It looks very weak. What? It’s just water. O great, the damn coffee maker is broke. If you have to have coffee in the morning before you can function you know that this is the end of the world when a coffee maker breaks.

I open the top of the coffee maker to see if I can see anything wrong.

O Crap.

There’s no coffee in the top. You can’t make coffee with no coffee grounds. All you get is hot water. And that is what I got.

I call Marilyn, thinking that maybe she’s pulling a joke on me this morning. She told me that she “forgot”, but I’m thinking that she wanted to start out the morning on a fun note.
