I drank the mug while I drove across the dark prairie 112 miles to a *South* (I am known to cross state lines for cheaper airfare) Dakota airport. It was after my lovely morning drive with coffee that I opted for an airline coffee once in the sky. I was sipping on it while I had my computer in front of me on the plane. Then from behind came the coffee hate. The woman across the aisle from me was “having a hot flash”, her direct quote and to quickly take off her sweater. She bumped the flight attendant who was slightly behind me and away flung the pot of hot coffee, giving me the real hot flash…
of burning hot coffee all over my computer and all over my skirt. By chance I wore a long skirt today which really saved my skin but the entire small airplane heard me yelp and the flight attendant say “I’m so sorry” a few times.
I love coffee. I hate hot coffee spilling on me. I still need more coffee today.
How’s your Monday treating you? Most importantly, how’s your coffee?
To learn more about the conference I am attending to talk beginning blogging with farmers and friends, check out my blogger friend Ryan Goodman’s Agriculture Proud post today.

That is definitely a love/hate relationship with coffee. I hope the woman behind you apologized as well and that your Monday changes direction soon and gets better!

oh crap! not the kind of ‘wake up’ call you needed at all!

I love my coffee too, even though mine is giving me hot flashes this morning. I won’t be causing anyone to spill anything with mine though. Glad it wasn’t worse, with you getting really burned or anything. How did the laptop survive?
