You know how you know noises?

Yaknow--like the sound of the ice maker happenin'. Well, that's if you have an ice maker--which we don't.

Okay--lemme try that again..... Like the noise of the furnace kicking in!

We have one of those and it makes a noise--which I don't notice any more.

Yeah--those noises.

The ones you hear and tune out cuz they're familiar and they belong.

4:15 and there's some creepy noise goin' on.

No--it wasn't the banging of door in the wind. That was yesterday's 'Mel's beating the dying coffee maker into submission' noise.

This was more of a 'whomp......shhhhhhh' noise.

I laid there for a bit, frowning in my fog.

'Whomp.........ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......'

Ah. New coffee maker works......I think I'm joyous.

'Whomp.....shhhhhhhhhh'

'Whomp............ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......'

I couldn't help it.
I laid there, listening.

And then I nudged him.

......hey......

'Whomp..........shhhhhhhhhhhhh'

......wakeupwakeup.......

'Whomp........ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......'

Hear that noise?

'Whomp..........shhhhhhhhhhhhh......'

This is the sound of a non-circumcised coffee maker puking out coffee.

'Whomp..........shhhhhhhhhhhh.....'

Ya know the sound of someone rolling over and pulling the blankie over their head?

____________ <-- insert it here

I'm a happy woman.
I'm an antagonistic woman--but a happy one............with a cuppa coffee in the jack-o-lantern mug.

Life is good.
