Saturday’s balloon ride required us to get up around 4:30 am so we could make it to the other end of the city for 5:30 am. This wasn’t too far from our regular weekday routine except that we couldn’t have much coffee because we didn’t want to go up with full bladders. By the time we made it back to our vehicle it was about 9:30 am.
ME: I’m an addict. I admit it! I am absolutely dying for a coffee. Please take the fastest route you can to the biggest cup of coffee in the city. I can’t believe how much withdrawal I’m feeling. I need a coffee! I don’t think I’ve ever had a morning without one like this.
HUBBY: I’ve got withdrawal too. I just don’t bitch about it!
Point for hubby.
My laptop battery died. It was nice of the laptop to let me know the battery was no longer taking a charge. So I went to a store I’ve dealt with before that specializes in batteries. The guy looked at the long, skinny battery, poked around on his computer and then told me he needed the laptop brand and model. I went home and phoned those details in.
GUY: Okay I’ve found the battery for your laptop. The battery is $199. But it looks different than the one you brought in.
ME: Different how? Is it just slightly different? Remember, mine is long and slim.
GUY: This one is square. It says it’s the right one for your model.
ME: Well that will never fit!
GUY: So, do you want me to order one???
And you never know where a natural on-air conversation will go. We try to keep it classy. But we’re only human! The other morning, while talking about ways to keep cool, Derek mentioned licking the wrists might help. It’s apparently a trick picked up from watching monkeys.
ME: Great, what else are we going to learn from monkeys? They also fling feces, will that keep you cool?
BLAIR: It depends whether you keep your feces in the freezer!
