Do I Look Like A Barista?

(A little background here) I have a crapload of crap that's wrong with my body. Occasionally it involves waking up numerous times during the night. Last night it was muscle spasms in between the ribs on my right side. I tend to be cranky and non-sunshiny in the morning.
Remember Eeyore from Winnie-The-Pooh? That's what I sound like. I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

(A little more background here) Mr Sunshine State gets up before me in the morning. It takes me a good 2 hours to get moving. He feeds the furkid and makes the coffee. Because the Bible says Hebrews. After I shuffle myself to the living room and fire up the laptop he brings me a cup of coffee. With the PERFECT amount of fat-free half-and-half and Equal.

Today he overslept. This was the conversation that ensued:
Mr S.S: HONEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LMSS: SITTING ON MY ASS.
Mr S.S: CAN YOU HELP ME?
LMSS: DOES IT INVOLVE GETTING OFF MY ASS?
Mr S.S: PLEASE FIX MY COFFEE?
LMSS: I SEE YOU STANDING 12 INCHES FROM THE COFFEE.
Mr S.S: BUT I'M IRONING A SHIRT AND I WOULDN'T ASK YOU TO DO THAT!
LMSS: (silently.....not if you want to live)
LMSS: I'M TRYING TO BE FUNNY HERE.
Mr S.S: I'M TRYING TO BE SERIOUS.

Little Miss Sunshine State hauls her ass off the chair and shuffles to the kitchen. More conversation ensues.
Mr S.S: WHILE YOU ARE HERE, YOU CAN FIX ONE FOR YOURSELF TOO!
AND DON'T PUT THE COVER ON THE TRAVEL CUP SO I CAN
DRINK A LITTLE BEFORE I LEAVE.
LMSS: IT'S NEXT TO THE LEMON TREE
Mr S.S: WE HAVE A LEMON TREE??

Little Miss Sunshine State did not take a Sharpie and write his name on the cup.
Little Miss Sunshine State did not throw the cup of coffee on his freshly pressed shirt.

I'm fine. Thanks for asking.

My husband usually gets the kids going in te morning for me so I can sleep a little bit later and ease into the day. It's not for health reasons though. Just because I can be lazy in the mornning.

Thanks for stopping by! I've had a few new visitors - I need to get some more projects up there.

Because the bible says Hebrews! LOVE IT! I am so going to use that tonight when my husband whines about having to make MY coffee for the a.m. (he makes it better, for some reason, so I make him do it).
