In the shower this morning...

I decided that whenever I'm sitting in front of the computer just trying to figure out something to do, I'll try to write in this blog.  Just to see what happens.  I figure it'll be an exercise in on-demand writing and typing practice and... whatever else.  Organizing my thoughts I guess.  (Which is apparently going very well...o.0)

These blogs are probably not going to be very interesting.  For example, I'd now like to talk about how I made hot chocolate a little while ago.  I was heating the milk in a mug, but it wasn't getting hot enough.  I decided to just forget it and mix in the chocolate powder and heat it more.  Then I decided that I wanted to shake it instead of stir it.  I've done this before, so no biggie.  But I couldn't find the special cup that has the special lid that's used for shaking things up.  Soooo bollox, as they say in the UcK.  (Oooh, Lindsey swore in Brittish!)

I was originally going to have my hot chocolate out of a regular ceramic mug, but then I realized that I would be taking it to my room.  Seeing as I know myself, I wanted to pour it into a plastic travel coffee cup-mug thing instead.  You know the ones, the sippy cups for adults.  Buuuut I couldn't find one.  After much pain and anguish I found an old one in the back corner of a cupboard in the bottom corner of my kitchen.  I washed it out and attempted to pour the hot chocolate from the ceramic mug into the sippy cup.  I spilled.  Of course.  So I cleaned that up and took the rest to the sink and successfully transferred drinking implements.  YES I finally finished making myself a simple cup of hot chocolate!  Basking in my success, I take a victory sip... and burn my mouth.
Isn't irony lovely?
