Whilst on a weekend-long odyssey of Mother's Days in New Jersey, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought a new coffee-maker. It is awesome, mainly because, unlike our last one, I was able to figure out how to set the timer so that when I woke up this morning, there was already a pot of coffee brewed. Last night we watched the 20 minute instructional DVD on how to use it. I felt briefly overwhelmed, because there was a lot to take in, but the soothing muzak calmed me down while the pleasant lady on the screen walked me through the steps. I was so excited about it all night, I could barely sleep!
