Pumpkin Coffee

Is there anything worse than being surprised when you take that first drink of coffee in the morning? My wife, who will be referred to as cdubya from now on, played a trick on me today and made pumpkin flavored coffee. Now, I'm all into flavored coffee's, I've been known to have a cup of Cinnebon flavored Seattle's Best in the afternoon here at the office, but the pumpkin is not a fan favorite with me. And to have that hit you at 6:45 am is a bit much to ask... So, I'm choking it down because it is coffee and I do need it but then I'm going to the cafeteria to grab some Starbucks after that.

Notice how I used 3 company names in that last paragraph? I saw yesterday after my post that I suddenly had Acura ads. I'm guessing I can get some better ads (and make more money when you guys click on them, don't forget that part!).

Looking at the sports page where the big story today is that Tony Fisher will be starting at RB for the Packers. Like that's news... Oh, but he got poked in the eye last week and had to have laser surgery???? Since when do you have to have surgery because you got poked in the eye? Next thing you know some dude will have to go under the knife to repair a hangnail.

And on Survivor last night... I wonder how many people spent the night throwing up after eating all that chocolate from the reward... One thing that always bugs me about Survivor is how they feed you stuff that makes things look one way then pull the rug out from under you. Case in point, last night, looks like a given that Amy will get voted out but they show all these conversations amongst the tribemates and it looks like they've all agreed Bobby Jon would go. But, when the votes come in, they all vote for Amy. CBS, please don't bias our thinking, show us what is going on!

Anyway, it's probably all the fault of my bald friend that works for the local CBS affiliate. Cdubya blames everything that goes wrong on CBS on him. Commerical cuts off part of the show, "Is he working tonight?"; they show the wrong video clip for a news story, "Is he working tonight?". I think she expects me to call him and make him fix it... haha.

Hey, everyone have a great weekend and be safe out there! As for me, I'm not passing up a 63 degree Saturday at the end of October, I'll be out at Hawk's Landing playing 18.

I hear ya. The Great Dane has pumpkin beer about this time every year. I'm not a fan either. Looks and tastes aweful. Why do people think that would be tasty? We don't drink pine needle flavored drinks during xmas!!

Culvers had a pumpkin custard too... Disgusting. I could stomach about 2 bites.
Hey, I'm getting ads for "funny", that must mean google finds my posts humorous. :)
