Glittery Circle of Life

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Elsie is getting mighty “crafty” these days. She has really enjoyed drawing lately, and last night she and Grandma Joan created a couple of Princess Picture Frames. As you might expect, they required a fair amount of glitter glue.

Which got me thinking… where does glitter glue come from? Is this what happens when My Little Ponies die?

I decided to bring my French press in to work so I could brew a cup of coffee or tea every now and then. I’ve got the tea thing pretty well figured out, but I’m still working on the exact amount of coffee I need to use to make “the perfect cup.” One website said that I should use about a half-cup of grounds for 24 oz. of water. Suffice it to say that it turned out to be just a little bit strong. I looked up the caffeine content of a half-cup of coffee grounds, and it turns out it’s somewhere between 6 and 8 Red Bulls. Considering the tremors in my hands right now, I’d say that’s about right. This video pretty much sums up how I feel right now:
