ICED Coffee?!? I drink it black and scalding.

LIES

I like my coffee like I like my lovers, lukewarm and only appealing to me.

That’s right, folks. I make a second pot of coffee with the grounds from the first pot. I don’t care. I’m going to get every splatter of dark from those grounds.

Do you know what would be nice? If ONE OF US had a middle class job. We’d be so wealthy. I mean. Relatively.

It’s funny how one’s opinion changes when it comes to comfort. Or something. When I was a kid, I knew money, and having enough of it was what made people not scream at each other, hence the screaming. When I was in college, worrying about money and spending very little was at the forefront of my mind, and was a huge stressor. In retrospect, I needn’t have stressed the way I did. I mean, I should have spent a few dollars more here and there. It wasn’t penny-wise and pound-foolish exactly, but I could have been slightly less penny-wise and wound up in essentially the same place I am today.

Then after college, I needed… not to worry more about money, but to be happier with the idea of increasing my earning- Oh time is up.
