And A Bloody Good Morning To You Too!

So I wake up this morning like the zombie that I usually am (I am NOT a morning person, never have been, never will be....but my toddler is....*sigh*) and half dragged myself to the dishwasher to pull out our coffee pot so that I could start my daily ritual of grind, pour water, brew, and imbibe.

I pulled out the pot and set it in the coffee maker then realized that large shards of glass were everywhere inside my dishwasher. I looked at the pot and realized that only the plastic handle and lid were attached to a small ring of glass....my coffee pot had exploded in the dishwasher overnight! And I was too tired to realize it first thing when I pulled it out.

So you can imagine how happily my morning started. Damn coffee pot. And mind you, this was a "top rack dishwasher safe" piece of crap to begin with. But then again, we did get it for free when we signed up for a Gevalia membership which we cancelled after deciding that with the amount of money they were charging us for tiny boxes of coffee, we could probably go on a vacation to Europe and taste their "Viennese" selections at the Hotel Sacher itself.

So I am off to Target. Gonna go buy one of those coffee makers with the stainless steel carafe. I need something bullet proof because this cannot happen again. I am a danger to society without my daily joe.
