You wake up because the dog is noisily whimpering to get out. He hears squirrels outside. (He! Must! Get! To! Those! Squirrels!) Groaning, you somehow pour yourself out of bed and, in so doing, you stub a toe looking for your slippers. You painfully make it to the restroom, *shushing* Bowzer to hold on a minute. 22 seconds later and relieved, you shuffle like one of the undead toward the kitchen to the already-made pot of coffee on the counter, letting the way-too-frisky dog out on your way. (You’re too tired to care that he almost rips the screen door from its track as he vaults outside.) Seconds later, liquid morning firmly in your grasp, you open up your laptop and coax it from its overnight hibernation.
You inhale the fresh aroma of your bean juice as you sit down to enjoy your Sunday morning ritual: Reading the past week’s Quotation Marks courtesy of CliqueClack. And then, there on the screen, is the very first quote … from MTV’s Beavis and Butt-Head.
Sipping your coffee while reading, you feel a guffaw suddenly well up in your throat. At mid-swallow, you turn your head to spew coffee anywhere but at your computer screen and restub your toe on the table leg. As you set your coffee cup down in order to grab your foot, spilling half its contents all over the place, Bowzer happily returns with a twitching squirrel in his yap.
Good morganin’, Sunshine!
