So, there I wuz....   Sleeping in a bit.  In my dream I heard a loud knocking, which woke me up.  Is that someone at the door?  It's happened before.  So I bounce and run, still half asleep. Nobody there. it was just the dream.  UGH. Now half awake, and all disgruntled.  Morning routine blown to hell.  Might as well get the coffee started.

Partway into the magic bean juice program, I realized my mouth was dry... like drank a lot last night dry.  Double ugh.  I opened the fridge and spotted a bottle of water sitting in with the milk and creamer and such.  This is a minor miracle because the Fam knows how to takes drinks OUT of the fridge, but they are allergic to putting them IN the fridge. I grabbed that flip top bottle of water and squirted it in my mouth and down my throat.

In a time period measured in milliseconds, the following happened:

* I realized it was not water.

* I realized this would not be fun.

* I remembered a recent outdoor dinner party where a friend made spicy jalapeno margaritas that were delicious.

* I remembered that when the party ended, my wife deciding those delightfully SPICY jalapeno margaritas should not go to waste.

* I  recalled her pouring them into a water bottle to take home.  A flip top water bottle.

* I realized I now had a mouthful of said SPICY margarita, and if I spit it out, yours truly would be cleaning that mess up.

* I swallowed the spicy jalapeno margarita.

Now fully, unmercifully awake, I carefully placed the bottle back where I found it and finished setting up the coffee.

Good Morning everyone, and ain't it a lovely morning?

Also, superior imported Jewish snark....

Flier for our local-est grocery stores tells of the weekly sale items, beginning Friday.  77 cent pasta, $3 a pound burger, and $5 a pound chuck roasts.   We haven't seen prices like that in some time.   I will be in that mass of people doing the stocking-up thing.  No matter what happens in the world, I'd like to keep the Fam eating well.
