Please be random Wednesday

Good morning! I'm trying out some new cold brew coffee. How is everybody?

[PirateCat]

I used to cold brew coffee for H at home using my French press, which is super easy. I recently got a stovetop espresso maker so I have been making iced Americano or lattes instead.

Dunks put too much sugar in my coffee. I'm not happy about it. #FWP

[moutonrouge]

ladytiffany24, I feel that. I hate when it's like disgustingly (or even almost bitterly) sweet with every sip. Dunks is a repeat offender for me. It doesn't help that I like those Baskin Robbins flavor syrups they have, though.

PirateCat, this is one a friend gave us from Stumptown. I don't love the flavor of cold brew, but I have made it myself before.

I've been overly productive this morning. Got up early to grocery shop so I could get there and back before my SO left for work. Also did dishes, got a load of laundry started, and sat outside with the animals for awhile.

Tried drinking some coffee but my SO made it this morning and it's... Not good. He always makes it either too weak or too strong. He never realizes it because he puts so much sugar and cream into his coffee. Yuck.

[PirateCat]

rablissful, sounds like nap time for you!

[PirateCat]

We saw The Lobster yesterday. It had some interesting ideas that could have gone somewhere but I kept waiting for a little more humor amongst the strange and darkness and it just ended up being unsatisfying and depressing.

[PirateCat]

Also, there was a dog waiting in line to buy tickets in front of us and he disappeared while I wasn't paying attention. I really wanted to see if he was going into a theater or not (I think he probably did??).

[ironbaby]

I woke up early enough to actually cook myself eggs for breakfast. I don't know that I am a fan of eating that early. Blech.

I haven't had coffee in 9 days, so maybe I am missing something, but WHAT?

Morning! I'm enjoying my new pewter reg status. Disappointed my next will be Bronze reg. Ugh. I was so close to silver. Lol

Oh, I didn't even notice. WTF is this shit?

I voted for sapphires and emeralds, not lame metals.

[rooskie]

Day 3 of meetings. They started at 7:30. I don't normally leave for work until 7:40.

Send all your coffee my way.

Haha, well the dog was with his people. We get a lot of young nomadic types of people in the summer and they had a small dog (beagle?) with them. It's a small, independent theater, and on a slow weeknight they don't man the ticketing area and you buy tickets at the concession stand, so the dog was already inside the lobby. The theater people were very accommodating, taking their big packs to store during the movie. So I assume the dog went inside the theater to see a movie - I just don't know which movie he came to see. 

[BabyStandish]

I'd rather be Pew Pew Reg.

Wait, what, nooooooo. You mean, after pewter is bronze? But I've BEEN bronze. Boo.

I don't know where you live, but I want to live there.

Would definitely take my pup to the movies.

I haven't even told you the best part - we have a marshmallow/s'mores food cart, which was a couple of blocks outside the movie theater.

I'm so annoyed I lost my silver status.

[badwolf]

I spent yesterday evening moving stuff from our old house to our new house. Moving is for the birds. We're so close to being done though. So close, yet so far away.

Moving is for the movers. Definitely hiring movers for our next move. 

[ladytiffany24]

Add me to the list of people sad that I've gone from Bronze to Silver then back to Bronze. Boooo.

[moutonrouge]

I still have my participation ribbon. But I think Copper is my next goal? Only 300ish away.

At least it changes at 7500 now instead of 10,000 but it's definitely annoying

Less than 600 more posts to regain silver then.

Still annoying.

Our work email is down. I'm WAH. This should be fun.

I just signed up to go to Bodybar tonight, I've been slacking and really need to get back on track. I've been thinking of trying to start running also but I'm nervous.

I wanted to so so badly. DH nixed that because we didn't have the money. And I knew we didn't but I proposed it anyway because I hate moving so much.

We got movers and packers when we moved into our new house. DH was going to be gone for the week before and the week of our move, so he used the signing bonus from his new job for the move. I know we would do movers again, but the packers were a bit overkill - they cost more than the movers, even though I think their job was much easier.
